Eating Hoppin John (aka Black-eyed Peas) on New Years can lead to a prosperous and lucky New Year! Simply, Hoppin’ John is made with black-eyed peas, ham hock, vegetables, and ham or andouille served over rice and a side of buttermilk cornbread. I like to add a few greens to mine for an even healthier bowl of goodness.
