Along the coast of the Southern US eating Hoppin' John on New Year's Day is thought to bring a year filled with luck and prosperity. The beans symbolize coins or pennies. Sometimes a penny is added to the pot or can be left under the bowls of Hoppin' John. Greens such as Collards, chard or kale can be added and symbolize the color of money and are said to add to ones wealth in the new year. The day after New Year's Day the leftovers are called "Skippin' Jenny," and further demonstrates one's frugality. A common tradition in the south US is each person at the meal should leave three peas on their plate to ensure the New Year will be filled with Luck, Fortune and Romance. Another tradition holds that counting the number of peas in a serving predicts the amount of luck (or wealth) that will be collected over the next year.

A quick and easy weeknight meal. It fills you up with all these yummy ingredients and great flavors. It's also light and nutritious.

Oven baked salmon with dill recipe bakes in rice topped tomatoes and mushrooms for an easy weekday main dish recipe.

Savory filling loaded with flavorful mushrooms, onion and spinach stuffed inside crepes and covered with a creamy sauce.

This made for a very tasty side to some salmon filets. I skipped the 2 hour soak time. Didn't need it, since my rice cooks in about 20 minutes anyway. I used shiitakes for the mushrooms.

A scrumptious chicken dish that can easily be made with your cooking sidekick, the crockpot.

Dust off your crockpot and try making this scrumptious rice pudding that everyone will enjoy!

A delicious casserole made with italian sausage, zucchini, rice and parmigiano-reggiano cheese.

I prepared this sans the pork as I had none. I added frozen peas, some fresh diced carrot and rinsed and drained bean sprouts. YUM!

That was the lunch we made yesterday, and we made a few changes (see the linked recipe below). We used cheddar instead of velveeta cheese, fresh broccoli, and omitted the butter. An easy-one-dish meal and quite tasty.
