Happy New Year! The above dish was made by my nephew Michael. And, this goes to show that tradition never fades. This dish was certainly a dish my Mom made every New Years Eve. It signifies lots of luck for the new year. Most families that I knew growing up, always prepared black eye peas and collards for luck all year long, in the next new year. It just really made me proud that my nephew continues my family’s southern tradition, with his family. And, I know my mom, his grandma would be proud!
I love the beautiful plating of this dish, and I know it taste awesome!
Hi! My name is Fran, and just like all other blogs, I definitely feel like I got lots to talk about, and share with the world. Especially, about food and travel. I put myself through culinary school, and I would say for the last 15 years I’ve traveled the globe a fair amount. Of course, I had to have a start somewhere for my love of cooking and traveling. My love for cooking started with my Mom, who I personally feel could give the best chefs out there a run for their money. My love for travel came through my big sister DeeDee (her nickname). Her encouragement to me for travel, just inspired me to go beyond places I never would of considered in my life to go. In this blog, I will share with you all the places I’ve traveled and the foods I’ve eaten there, and the recipes I’ve created.
