We had our ham and black eyed peas. Didn't do collards, but John missed them this year. So, we'll probably do them next year.

Happy New Year everyone! May 2009 be wonderful for us all!

If I can't get fresh peas, buy frozen and cook them with ham hocks or salt pork, "bet you don't know what that is?". My step son was born and raised in MN and he still can't eat the collard greens. His Father is from MN, and now he loves his wife's greens, black eyed peas and okra.

A SISSY???????? Excuse me???? I DO know what salt pork is.... it's the stuff that Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote about and they would fry it up and munch away. It's also in baked beans, is it not?

You guys are making my stomach growl. So do you just eat the beans alone? (if you don't have the greens to go along with them?) Do you put anything on them?

I fry salt pork in a pot and add the blackeyed peas with a cup of water or chicken broth. In another pot, I cook the salt pork and add the greens, turnips, collards, musturd greens. Soo Good.

I am so very sorry you have been sick -- what a rotten way to start the new year. Hope you are all feeling better!

We had our Black Eyed Peas and greens, cornbread and chicken fried chicken...all from the Black Eyed Pea Restaurant!! It was YUMMY!!! They have those good yeast rolls with honey and butter. OMG, my mouth is watering again!! They have good fried okra too. I love southern cooking!!
Dessert...fresh blackberry cobbler. We had to be rolled out of there!!
We usually mix the black eye peas with white rice and it is called Hoppin' John...who knows where that name came from! LOL!!

WE DID TOO!!! Hey, Cindy, we had blackeyed peas, cabbage [Pat's favorite], candied yams, honey baked ham and cornbread [I make the best ... ask Pat!!] I cook blackeyes with ham & jalapinos in them and I make my cornbread from "scratch" using cornmeal, butter, egg, sour cream, milk, jalapinos and a little minced onion. It's delicious!! [BTW .... we also had some leftover Peanut Butter pie .... yummmy! My recipe is from a restaurant in Birmingham and after "tweeking" it a little, have been using it for years! ]

Any chance you would care to share your recipe for cornbread? It sounds delicious.
