Happy New Year from Eclectique916
The black eyed peas and rice are morphed into hoppin’ john, the greens are out of the pot. If you’re going to search “black eyed peas,” be sure to “+ food.” Decide which feeds body and soul.
New Years Day traditions. What do they mean? Black eyed peas and greens — these two combos bring in cash flow. Put a few uncooked dry peas in the purse. Hopefully the cashier won’t look at me strange the next time my peas fly out with the change. At least I can say, my purse is never empty.
Now onto the biscuit making.
Recipe for Creole Hoppin’ Jean
Though I just wash and tear one pound or a pound and a 1/2 of collards before putting them in a pot (with about 2 cups of water or a can of chicken broth flavored with 1-2 cloves of fresh garlic, a dried chili pepper, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and course salt – bring to a boil, then put in torn greens, cover pot, turn down low and cook for 1 hour or until tender), I’ll eventually try this recipe for Citrus Collards with Raisins.

The Buttermilk biscuit recipe I use is from The Joy of Cooking. And I’ve got more “the perfect chocolate chip cookie” (NY Times) dough in the freezer. The dough has to sit for about 2 days in the frig to get this right. You may want to consider starting your diet later in the month. Recommend under-cooking a bit if you like them chewy.
