At my house it just has to be pork on new years day.

Pork, sauerkraut & mashed potatoes for us here in PA. YUM ~ I can smell it cooking now!

I used the bone from the Christmas ham, simmered it down, sliced off all the yummy bits, and added a package of black-eyed peas I soaked last night.
Corn bread, haven't planned out the meat yet, but collards are just something we can't eat.
The peas give you luck, the collards being green, are for money, (maybe that's why we don't have any. Can't eat them

)
Hmm, cheese cake sounds good, I think I have time for that.
Happy, safe New Years to you all!

Chicken, black eyes, collards, cornbread, and whatever else my mom and me decide to cook.

Always blackeyed peas and cornbread! I soaked the blackeyed peas overnight and I'm cooking them now.

Tradition in our family has always been ham and bean soup with cornbread.

Same here! Every year, for as long as I can remember. We have hot dogs, too.

Yup, pork & kraut is a german-pa Dutch tradition. My family has done pork crown roast with cranberry cornbread stuffing for the past 20+ years. With my dad passing this past April, (he did the cooking), my
mom changed the menu to sauerbraten, dumplings, red cabbage, mashed potatoes and green beans.
