Hello! I hope everyone had a great Christmas! And, if you don’t celebrate Christmas, I hope you had a great weekend! I’m a little sad that Christmas is already over but at least we still have New Years to look forward to. I always see New Years as a great time to hit the reset button and start things over. Are you a New Year’s resolution kind of person? I always make them but unfortunately I don’t always keep or stick to all of them. Maybe this year I will make more realistic resolutions so next year at this time I can look back and check a few more off the list š
I don’t know about you but I tend to be a superstitious person. So, when someone tells me to eat some foods on New Year’s Day that will bring me good luck, you better believe that I’m going to eat them! And, if you aren’t a superstitious person, it’s kind of fun to eat them anyway. And, I have some really delicious recipes for you below! There are lots of different lists you can google to see which foods are considered good luck and why, but today I’ve just included some of my favorites: Black Eyes Peas, Long Noodles, Pomegranates and Collard Greens.
I hope you enjoy these recipes and I wish you all lots of good luck in the New Year!

I made the black eyed peas tacos for our new year’s good luck. I chose this recipe because I knew the kids would eat it too. We all thought they were delicious. Now we might even make these another day soon (I’ll tell the kids it’s for even more good luck!!). Thanks for all the fun recipes for the new year. They all look great.
I’m so gad you and your kids enjoyed them!! Happy New Year!
Thank you for including me in your round up! Everything looks amazing. I could eat them all year long for good luck! š
It’s so funny because I have never heard of these foods bringing good luck, but they all look delicious so you don’t have to twist my arm š Happy New Year, Izzy!
I always mean to make lucky foods for new years and then never do! haha Maybe this will be the year! I almost bought some black eyed peas today! Hope you had a great Christmas Izzy!!
I’ve never eaten foods to bring me luck in the new year, but now is a good time to start! These dishes look delicious, and I hope you have a happy new year, Izzy! Thank you for including my salad. š
I don’t think I’ve ever really eaten any of these so called lucky foods on New Years. Maybe that’s been my problem all along. Ha ha ha. Guess I should step it up this year. Love this round-up, Izzy! And thanks for the pomegranate love!
Thanks for the link Izzy, fab round up!!
I can always use a little extra luck going into the new year! LOL. I totally want to dig into ALL of these recipes right now, but especially your gorgeous black-eyed pea tacos!
Thanks so much for sharing my recipe!
