Hoppin Johns with Field Peas: This is a classic Lowcountry Dish and I only eat it with Field Peas and Fat Back. I have so many memories of this dish and definitely indulge beyond NYE whenever I can.

Cornbread: Whether you like it savory or sweet, drizzled with honey or molasses, cornbread must be on the menu and taste best cooked on a cast-iron skillet.

Ham Perloo: You have to have pork for prosperity, why not have it with some have. As the granddaughter of a hog farmer from the Lowcountry, I fully approve of this dish and suggest adding eggs for breakfast the next day.
