    New Year Greens

    Dec 31, 2013 ·

    Eggs and Greens Bake
    Growing up in the Georgia, our New Year's tradition was to consumed collard greens and black-eyed peas on New Year's Day for year long health and wealth.
    According to tradition, black-eyed peas represent tiny coins and symboliz wealth and financial rewards, greens being the color of cash, made you wealthier, so eating a meal with both of them would bring you health and wealth.
    I still hold on to these traditions, but this year I'm preparing my greens in a whole new way, I'm baking them with eggs nestled in them. This recipe was adapted from a recipe I found in Bon Appetit's May Issue, Company Eggs. The original recipe used chard and heavy cream, I traded them out for collards and coconut cream.  Delicious, Delicious, Delicious!
