What's for dinner New Year's Day?
I married a Pennsyvlania farm girl, of German lineage.
Ergo, New Year's Day means pork and sauerkraut.
Mmm-m-m, place smells good!
How do you traditionally kick off the New Year, food wise?
Oh, yeah.... Happy New Year to all!

In the south it's ork and black-eyed peas. The more peas you eat, the more money you will have the coming year.
When I went to buy mine yesterday the shelf was almost empty!! |

Home made pizzas, shells and meatballs, italian bread, salad, cheese cake, banana cream pie, fudge, and many other treats. To tell you the truth I am so tired of eating this holiday, that when I get back to NC tomorrow, its going to be salads and fruit for me for awhile. I need to loose the 10 pounds I think I gained.

Superstition across the Old South holds that eating hog jowls and black-eyed peas on Jan. 1 makes one healthy, wealthy and wise for the next 12 months.

Hey, I moved here from Lebanon myself.
You know, where they drop a Lebanon Bologna in the square on New Years. |

YES! Must have slow-simmered German sauerkraut to start the New Year off right! Although I'll be doing ours tomorrow as I had 14 tons of holiday leftovers to finish. I'm of German heritage too, and I'll worry that I won't have good luck if I don't have sauerkraut this week.
Germans eat it New Year's Day, but as long as I have that this first week I'm good. That's the American side in me, tradition with a twist! Oh, my DH's great-grandmother was Pennsylvania Dutch. Luckily, he also likes the sauerkraut!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! |
