Hoppin' John With Greens - Slow Cooker Recipe
This is a traditional Southern dish for bringing good luck into the New Year, consisting of black-eyed peas and rice. Eating Hoppin' John on New Year's Day is thought to bring a prosperous year filled with luck. The peas are symbolic of pennies or coins, and a coin is sometimes added to the pot or left under the dinner bowls. Greens along with this dish are supposed to also add to the wealth since they are the color of money. Eating this the day after represents frugality and savings. You are supposed to leave 3 peas to assure that the New Year will be filled with Luck, Fortune and Romance. Serve hot with corn bread.
Jian Bing (Chinese Crêpes)
Jian Bing, a.k.a. Chinese crêpes are quick and easier to make than you think! There are many variations of this recipe but this is the only one I use. I like to add green onion and cilantro, but others use different ingredients, such as sunflower seeds. Instead of crackers, you can also use Chinese fried dough (You Tiao). Enjoy!
