Black-eyed peas and cornbread with a side of green
We like Vegetarian BBQ Riblets, saurkraut and mashed potatoes.
To fit with my Mexican tradition of menudo for New Years, I've decided to make my favorite Vegetarian Posole Stew. Traditional menudo is made with beef tripe and/or pig's feet, hominy, and California or New Mexican chile pods. The Vegetarian Posole Stew is the perfect vegetarian alternative, and it's delicious!

Why Hot Dogs Sauerukraut and dumplings just like always except today we use Smart Dogs by Lightlife which is Vegan and has no fat and cholesterol and to quote my meat eating hunting brother in law when my sister cooked them for him "Did you cook these a bit different. They taste a little bit different." and he proceeded to eat 4 of them.
Vegetarian paella and champagne!
I'd love thin crust pizza covered in fresh veggies: sliced tomatoes, onions, peppers, cooked eggplant, and garlic. That's all.
When celebrating with friends that evening I LOVE to bring edamame potstickers to the gathering!
Homemade vegan blueberry pancakes with molasses, and iced white tea for a cool drink. Don't forget the oranges :)
Totally in line with our Italian heritage: Pasta Lenticcie. Grandma served it on new years to bring prosperity and health to the family, and now I have an uncanny craving for it every NY eve. Don't forget the extra virgin olive oil drizzle finish.
Because we always go hiking on New Year's Day, I need something that can be made quickly when we get home. I combine all the elements of good luck in one dish I call Island Hoppin' John. Greens, black eye peas, rice, and tomatoes make a hearty, happy meal to start our year off right!
Grilled Salad Pizza (featured in VT) would be divine. I made this pizza for supper and it was the most delicious pizza I've ever made. My fiance was so lost in the symphony of flavors that he didn't hear a word I was saying!
heirloom beans and cornbread!
I make homemade, fresh black-eyed peas with onions and garlic and homemade cornbread!! Delicious. Simple and wonderful, and apparently lucky!
In San Antonio, tamales are the traditional Christmas Eve and New Year's Day feast. Instead of the typical pork tamale, my family has fallen in love with "Bean Tamales" and that is what we use to celebrate these two special days. There are some commercial restaurants in Texas that make bean tamales, but they are relatively easy to make from scratch and you can make them as spicy as you want when they are homemade. I hope you will try this wonderful South Texas treat!!
The spinach, Feta and Tomato Quiche is my favorite as well. It is easy and quick and absolutely delicius. In fact, I am preparing to makie it now and was looking for the receipe because I could not locate the issue.
I turned Silver Palate's Caribean Black-eyed Peas and Rice into a vegetarian dish, using Fakin Bacon, a few drops of Liquid Smoke, vegetarian broth and partially cooked long grain brown rice. It makes a great one pot meal with lots of flavor. Combine that with cornbread and greens steamed and then dressed with olive oil and balsalmic vinegar. All you need is a a French Apple Tart and the New Year starts off right.
Living in Georgia I always make the tradional Southern New Years black eyed peas & greens. Eating this meal insures a prosperous new year.
I like to keep it simple with a bowl of organic vanilla yogurt topped with organic raspberries. Then I go for a run in the frosty Maine air and begin the New Year feeling invigorated and clean.
My grandmother is German and it has always been a tradition to eat jelly donuts after the new year begins.
We have celebrate the New Year with a Mexican Fiesta: vegan tamale pie, bean taquitos, and whatever else we feel like throwing in the mix. Mmmm.
I always make Black eye pea Hash with baked brown rice, jalapeno cheese cornbread, and a tangy slaw... us southern folk gotta have black eye peas for good luck and cabbage for money :)
People always say it's an African American or Southern tradition to eat Black-Eyed Peas for good luck on New Year's Day. My family has never followed it. However, thanks to Bryant Terry's recipe for "Creole Hoppin' Jon," I'm really looking forward to making this dish a family tradition, starting in 2010! Here's my pic of the results from the first time I made it: http://tinyurl.com/yf6snvc
Our New Year's tradition is take out Indian food, and of course champagne
Depending on how lucky I am, and how generous my Mom is with her holiday baking, leftover pumpkin pie is the perfect start to the New Year.
Oatmeal pancakes with peanut butter and real maple syrup.
I have happily been a vegetarian since 1984! For Thanksgiving, I have a baked sweet potato, a grilled vegetable salad, and sourdough cranberry muffins. A great Thanksgiving meal without meat.
Every year, I make the Black Bean and Quinoa Chili from the January 1995 issue of Vegetarian Times for "First Night" and there is generally just enough left over for a late brunch when I wake up on New Years day. Unfortunately, the online recipe database doesn't go back that far... between that and several other favorite recipes from that issue, it is becoming very battered!
I grew up in the South, where it's considered good luck to have black-eyed peas and greens on New Years Day or soon after. The last couple of years, I've been using the ingredients in Indian food. I'll make black-eyed peas in coconut curry sauce and saag paneer, which is great with collard greens.
