Happy New Year everyone! This is a recipe that is great for New Year's Day as well as any other time.

I highly recommend Colonel Paul's Creole seasoning for this recipe. He lives here in Birmingham and is the husband of a very good friend of mine. You can find his seasonings at most local grocery stores ... Hoppin' John ... 1 lb frozen black-eyed
