I made my first ever traditional New Year's meal. Us southerners believe that collard greens and beans bring us good luck, wealth, and prosperity. I think there is some other tradition about pork so I just bought a little ham that I warmed up in the oven. Unfortunately, the grocery store was completely sold out of black eyed peas so I substituted pintos instead. Now let me just say that I did not make anything from scratch. The greens and beans came from a can and the ham was already cooked but I did put the whole meal together and also included mac n cheese, deviled eggs, and corn muffins. Bryan loves greens but I honestly have never given them much of a chance but they really weren't that bad. It was good and will hopefully bring us good luck this year!
