Actually, I am full of Black-eyed Peas.

Being a die-hard Yankee from a completely Yankee family, we didn’t do Black-eyed Peas on New Year’s Day, but I saw Homesick Texan’s New Year’s Day Migas with Black-eyed Peas and Bacon and decided to give it a try this year.

Black-eyed Peas on New Year’s Day are supposed to ensure a prosperous year. A girl can always use a bit more of the ready, but actually, I would love if the prosperousness came in the way of good health for Auggie, Bear and me for this year!

There was also a recipe on Lisa’s blog for Black-eyed Pea and Chorizo soup

I decided if one meal of black-eyed peas was good, a second would be even better.

You can’t see the peas, but they are in there!

Both meals were delicious. I’m full.

Auggie was trying to catch up on sleep… Our down the road neighbor that can’t celebrate the 4th of July or New Year’s Eve without LOUD fireworks, kept us up until past midnight.

It will be an early night tonight as we all need to catch up.
