Good Luck

My years in the South taught me that eating black-eyed peas on the first day of the year brings good luck.  Even though I now make my home in Yankee territory, it’s a custom I still I embrace.  I love me a black-eyed pea in all forms but lately my favorite form is a recipe I’ve had since my days as a Tennessean: Texas Caviar.  It’s a colorful collection of peas, corn, tomatoes, jalapeño, lime juice, ortega peppers, red onion, green pepper, cilantro and spices.  In the bowl before it’s all mixed together, it already looks pretty tasty.


Mixed together it’s even better and a delicious way to start 2015.
