Happy New Year
Orlando Intuitive Healing & Kathleen Quinlan wish you a Happy New Year!
A classic New Year’s menu might include dishes that are believed to bring good luck, like:
- Collard greens – The color of fortune, collard greens are often considered a good luck food on New Year’s Eve.
- Cornbread – The vibrant gold color of cornbread is thought to symbolize wealth and money.
- Hoppin’ John – A hearty Southern dish traditionally eaten on New Year’s Day, Hoppin’ John is meant to bring good luck. For extra fortune, you can throw a clean penny into the bowl and whoever finds it will have extra fortune in the coming year.
- Lentils – In Italian homes, lentils are a symbol of good fortune because they resemble ancient Roman coins. They are often served with pork, another notable luck-bringer.
- Pork – In many cultures, pigs are believed to symbolize prosperity for the coming year because their snouts always root in a forward direction and their meat is rich in fat.
- Whole steamed fish – In Chinese culture, whole fish is often served steamed at the unity dinner because it is believed to bring prosperity.
- Jiaozi – In Chinese, the word for dumplings, “jiǎo zi” (饺子), sounds like “jiāo zi” (交子). 交 (Jiāo) means “exchange” and 子 (zi) is the midnight hour.
Other New Year’s Eve staples include champagne, noise makers, and confetti.
This is the perfect New Year’s Day dinner menu. It includes skillet cornbread, easily seasoned mustard greens, spicy black-eyed peas (Hoppin’ John), hot cooked rice, and a stunning caramel cake. Spicy Southern Black-Eyed Peas: Salt pork and ham flavor this tasty dish of black-eyed peas, also known as hoppin’ John.
