I'm going to do black eyed peas, in a soup/stew/"concoction." I learned about the tradition, years ago, from a former colleague who grew up in North Carolina. I've always loved any combination of bean-with-bacon, or pork-'n-beans.
There's no exact recipe that I follow. The first time that I made it, I looked at several recipes. They're pretty similar, so it's easy to wing it. I do buy the dried peas, and soak them overnight, as opposed to using canned peas.
It's traditionally served with rice, but that's too heavy. I have frozen shrimp, so I might make a small "cocktail," to go along with the BEP.
Happy New Year, all!!!
