Eating black-eyed peas for luck on New Year’s reminds me of my grandmother’s kitchen in Florida, filled with the smell of black-eyed peas and collard greens simmering with onions, garlic and a little smoked pork. The meal was always rounded out with fresh ground cornbread or muffins and baked sweet potatoes. Vegetarians don’t despair Jessica Kellner at Mother Earth has you covered with some great Meatless Monday recipes for good luck. Every year since I have had my own garden I include as many of these easy to grow southern staples as space allows into my garden plans and you can, too.
