Black-eyed peas and cabbage...a light way to get two of the necessary foods for Good Luck on New Year's Day. Don't forget to open the front and back door at the same time to let the Bad Luck of the previous year out! This recipe reminds me of my college days. My roommate, Dianna and I would cook occasionally. Whenever we cooked, we always made cole slaw and black eyed peas. When we ate leftovers, we would mix the coleslaw and the black-eyed peas together.
