Good Luck Gumbo
In many places, including the American South, black-eyed peas are eaten for good luck on New Year's Day (some people even hide a coin in the stew, but I wouldn’t recommend that!). Scramble fan Sara Emley created this black-eyed pea gumbo (a Southern spicy stew) for her family and friends to enjoy on January 1. While it may not be a traditional gumbo, I think you'll agree that this comfort-stew is perfect for any day you need some healthy food or just some extra good luck!
