New Year's Eve Southern Food Traditions 3

If you are like us getting ready for New Year’s Eve, you must have a few items in order to start 2016. While everyone else is focused on champagne and fireworks, we here in the South know that food is always a requirement. And for NYE there are a couple of die hard traditions must happen to bring in some good luck and cheer for the 2016. Not to mention your southern mother will likely be calling to make sure you make these dishes or pick them up at her house. Momma always knows best especially in the South.

Black Eyed Peas

Still in search of few more dollars. Make sure to add Black Eyed peas which are a symbol of prosperity for the New Year as well.  You make them as healthy or unhealthy as you like and here at BSB the more bacon the better.
