Poor Man’s Sausage
It’s a Southern tradition to have black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day to bring good luck in the year ahead. Instead of just eating a spoonful, try this recipe which puts a different spin on an ol’ black-eyed pea and you just might think you’re eating meat! Shan and I wish you many blessings in the new year.
