Hoppin' John

I've always wanted to try this New Years recipe.  It is a Southern tradition and is supposed to bring good luck for the new year. 
First cook the bacon, onion, celery and green bell pepper.

Black Eyed Peas!

Add the black eyed peas, broth and seasoning and simmer uncovered for 1 1/2- 2 hours.

I was interested in other lucky foods for the new year and supposedly fish is good luck too, so I baked some salmon to go along with the hoppin' john.

New Years eve meal!  Hope 2013 will be a lucky year!
