Always makes me happier when I watch your videos. My grandson Ethan loved your smash burgers and I loved to make them! Lost Ethan last week 02/19/2003-12/21/2022. Thank you cowboy Kent for some smiles! God bless you in the coming new year!
Boy, that's rough, Chico; I am so sorry! My heart and prayers go out to you and all of his family. God bless you all with the memory of Ethan and the good times you had.
You asked us to share our traditional New Year's Day menu. I am 72 years old and for as long as I can remember our traditional menu rarely varied: pork ribs (roasted or grilled with nothing but S&P), Hoppin' John over rice, turnip greens or collards with ham hock, stewed tomatoes over Hoppin' John and or greens, fried okra with corn bread! I can smell our kitchen as I type this! The very best from my family to yours! Thank you for all that you guys do. You make our lives richer than it would otherwise be.
My mother used to drop a single dry black eye into her New Year Day’s cornbread batter. Getting that piece of cornbread with the black eye was supposed to be a good luck sign for the New Year.
My New Year's Tradition has become cooking a big pot of Blackeyes, a couple of pans of cornbread, and taking them into town and feeding homeless folks. It started several years ago, when I was unemployed and worrying whether my meager savings were going to last until I found another job, but I cooked some Blackeyes and cornbread and took it to a few homeless camps, just to remind myself that others had it far worse than I did, and to wish for prosperity for all of us. The next year, I had a job, but I did it again, and one fellow remembered me from the year before, which also meant that he had been out on the streets for the whole year. Now I cook Blackeyes every year, and on other weekends when I get a chance, I cook Pintos and cornbread for my homeless friends. I was nervous as hell about dealing with homeless people at first, but now, it's one of the most meaningful things I do.
God Bless you. I lost a job I loved after 18 years. It's wonderful to remember to be thankful and share what we have even when life has us on the ropes.
When my grandad was a boy, his family was very poor and traveled around Texas picking cotton to survive. He said one month all they all had to eat was a 50 lb. sack of black eyes. He said they were sure tired of black eyes by the end of that month. LOL But he loved them still. I'm always reminded of him when I see black eyed peas cooking. Thanks for a great video with some sweet nostalgia. Oh, and, like grandad, I'm a cornbread man.
Traditionally, in our household, noodles are a necessity for a New Year event. It signifies a long and prosperous life. May it be that way for everyone here. Blessings.
YES! Cornbread (on the side) and Black Eyed Peas - good anytime, but especially on a cold blustery New Years Eve!!! Bravo to your video editor, Shan's jog between the hay bails was synchronized with the music! :) Happy New Year to the Rollins' family and all their fans. May it be a far sight better than that last two and God bless you all.
I'm from south east Texas. My mama taught me that the traditional New Years meal included the following for the blessings of Health, Prosperity and Wisdom Ham for Health because a pig was fat and healthy Cabbage for prosperity because the green leaves resembled our money Black eyed peas for wisdom because of the "eyes"
New Year's Day - Ham, black-eyed peas, sautéed cabbage, and cornbread. In cleaning out my mother's estate, I found her recipe for pear chow chow that I had been trying to find for years. Tucked into an old cookbook. Can't wait to make some next year. We used that on our peas. I heard the story behind the peas goes back to Reconstruction after the Civil War. Cow peas, black-eyed peas, purple hull peas, were all considered cow feed, and the Union soldiers didn't take any of them when going through the South. The farmers and slaves would rummage through the fields and gather the dried peas. Having dried peas meant you would always have food. Any kind of greens represented money. Cornbread is the staple bread of the South.
I play in a band, and we played last New Years Eve at a great BBQ restaurant here in Bangor Maine, called Smoke N Steel. At midnight they came around with plastic "shot glasses" on trays, full of these very same deleicous black eyed peas. I had never seen this lol. The owner, from the South, said "it's for good luck in the New Yae, drink that black eyed pea soup like a shot". I was suspicious lol. I had one. Then two, then - I bet I had ten shots. wow! so good! Now I can make my own here at home! Thanks my friend, love all the videos. Happy New Year!
Every New Years since the late 1970's , we save turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving and sometimes Christmas. We make turkey enchiladas for New Years Day. Thank you for sharing your recipes with all of us.
You two really worked hard on that video since you were so cold, Thank you for all you do for us! Got one of your cookbooks for Christmas and looking forward to making many new meals with it. I was watching a history channel here this week and they explained that when the Union troops came to the south, they took everything they could from the farmers except the black eyed peas. Apparently they did not like them or thought they were animal food. Thus the southerners looked to them as food for the winter, fed their animals of what was left and felt that they would bring good luck. I know that my grandfather 5 times removed had 30,000 acres in Darlington County, SC and the Union not only took his grain but milled it on both of his mills. The generals stayed in his home and took everything in it but did not burn the home where it is still a museum to this day. It is called the Jacob Kelley House. I heard some interesting tales about my family on our visit. I always grew up having to choke down at least 12 of the dreaded peas but now enjoy them anytime we make them. Looking forward to next weeks video, glad you are doing well and hope you and Shan and the pups have a wonderful 2023! Best regards from the Ham, Birmingham, Al that is.
I made this recipe today. Substituted chipotle powder for the ancho Chile powder. My yankee wife, what thinks black eyed peas are cow feed, loved it. You got a good recipe here.
Now that sure does look delicious! Thanks for passing this one along Kent... along with everything else that you do my friend. Wishing you and yours all of the very best for the New Year!
I cover my beans with water, bring to a boil & boil for 10 minutes, let them sit for an hour, pour that water off, & then do the broth & seasonings/sausage like you do. They cook so much faster that way! Your recipes/food/personality are always great to watch. God bless you and yours! 🙏💕🙏
It’s amazing how much heat stays in the covered pan with dense peas. I made split pea and ham soup last week. Boiled the split peas in broth for a few minutes and left covered while I left for a few hours. They were still steaming when I took the lid off. Shaved lots of cook time. It’s all about the water absorption!
cook them with baking soda. cooks quicker every single time for me -- for everything -- vegetables, lentils, beans. somehow raising the PH of the water with baking soda enables more quicker cooking. Nixtamalization is a famous example of it with corn.
@@DDL2728 ya, i learned about it a while ago and I was surprised at people DYING from not cooking corn properly, if, it's a staple of their diet (no meat or other vitamin sources). This b-vitamin deficiency can lead to death. And it's simply averted by cooking in a high ph (usually ash solution or ph) solution to make the kernel open up -- through nixtamalization -- to make the b-vitamins available -- Voila, no more death. Just becuase we can put something in our mouth, chew it and eat it -- even though it has the vitamins, doesn't mean our body can easily absorb it to survive. it's crazy. I've actually been trying to find another way to raise the ph level of the water besides ash or baking soda that is edible 'cause for me I'm sensitive to salt. Too much salt I'm not a fan of. I haven't found any alternatives to baking soda. But baking soda is really a integral part of the kitchen, IMO.
just had TEXAS CAVIAR (cold BEP salad) at supper....love BEPs... grew up on the OLDE POLISH SOUTHSIDE OF MILWAUKEE, (1949-1971) MOVED TO TEXAS in 1971 and been here since... love BEP.... tradition back in the motherland is PICKLED HERRING on N Y EVE...
My Grands (grandmother) was as southern as could be, and I eat black-eyed peas in her honor every New Year's Day. I do miss her, and so appreciate Kent. Thanks for this recipe and Happy New Years to you and yours!
Great video. My mom & dad raised me in Oklahoma (& Louisiana & Texas) chasing the oil patch. Really enjoyed the memories. And. we always enjoy black eyed peas.
Our tradition for New Years has always been blackeye peas with salt meat, and with either cornbread or rice (depened which my mom wanted to cook) and cabbage. With tomato relish and sliced onion on the side. After I grew up and started my on family we would fry some chicken legs also.
Rural Mississippi here 😊 Happy Forthcoming New Year's Ya’ll 🎉 Enjoy your videos. It's black eyed peas= coins, greens/cabbage=folding money and pork=the pig's hooves goes forward (luck in the coming New Year) and cornpone made with yellow corn meal= gold We have all of theses in some form or fashion for our New Year’s Day meal ❤️👍 PS- never heard of mixing greens 🥬 and black-eyed peas together in a dish.
I mkae a black eyed pea casserole similar to the green bean one we have one thanksgiving. I use a can of black eyed peas with jalapenos, a can of cream of potato soup and the canned french fried onions. We have this every year on New Years Day.
Those of us up North also love Black Eye pea soup. Especially good on these cold below zero winter days. For New Years, the Family always want a table of shelf safe grab and go foods, cheese, pickles, mini pies, and snacks. The table is set up at about 4pm December 31 and lasts until about 1am January 1.
The tradition of black eyed peas for southerners is interesting. Black eyed peas were raise for livestock and slaves in the south. When Sherman came thru he took all of the food he could find for his troops. The live stocks, vegetables, everything but the black eyed peas because he thought them unfit for human consumption. When he left the staving residents and slaves were forced to eat the peas and it saved hundreds of them from starvings.
This looks delicious, Kent! We usually fix a pot of Black Eye Peas...for luck! We also have Turnip Greens...for wealth! And we throw in some leftover Ham from Christmas dinner...for health! Add a skillet of cornbread, and nothing is better!! Lol That’s our traditions going back to my Great Grandparents New Years meals! Be safe over New Years! God bless you and Ms Shan and all the taste tester crew in the New Year!
We are from Tallulah, Louisiana northeast corner of the state. Our New Years tradition is black eyed peas, cornbread, and either greens or fried cabbage. Love watching your videos. HAPPY NEW YEARS!
I have been watchin your channel since ya'll started and I must say that you and Shannon are God sent to help us folks remember what our ancestors used to make foods that warm our hearts like in days of old. So many of your recipes I've been taught when I was knee high to my gran and she was only 5'2" hehehe end closing I say May GOD hold you and Shannon in his hands and bless you both
Thanks to God for your life. Every new episode with you and Shan is a heart lifter for me in NYC. And that’s not just BS. I recently went home to Indiana and made lard biscuits and gravy for the family inspired by you.
Thanks for the video first off. Now for what I make for the family for new years. We have black eyes peas, some greens, whole smoked ham, cabbage soup, buttermilk pie, Mac and cheese, green beans.
@KentRollins. Hello, dear sir and madam. I sent you an email to verify this was legit! Lol! I'm always a bit skeptical when it comes to winning something. It doesn't happen to me very often!
Our New Year tradition was Scots Broth: Take a lamb shank, add a ground turnip, a few ground carrots, ground leeks, peas and pearled barley, in a large pot, fill water, and simmer pretty much for ever. We also had tattie scones (thats potatoes for all you Sassenachs).
I guess I'm a southern boy been havin black eyed peas and cabbage with some coinage durn near my whole 70yrs for New Years traditional meal. Happy New year Kent and the family along with the whole video viewer ship
Funny that the idea of beans bringing good luck by representing the money you will earn in the new years is so universal! Here in Italy the staple new year food is Lentil soup, usually cooked with either stinco (pig hock) or cotechino (a type of very thick sausage), and there's the same tradition that eating a lot of lentils at New Year's Eve will bring a lot of money in the year to come
Thank you sir for braving the cold to bring this recipe to life! I will be trying this recipe this year. Usually I do pintos w/ham hock and cornbread but this looks amazing. Probably gonna sub the beef for deer hamburger this year. Again, thank you and wishing you a healthy and prosperous 2023!
My mother, God rest her soul, would make black eyed peas every new year for me, I miss her and and I miss them, if she could, she would kiss you right now for bringing back such a sweet memory, God bless you!
I might try this recipe some other time of the year but my New Year's tradition will continue unchanged Blackeyed peas, mustard and turnip greens, and cornbread. My peas have smoked ham (usually ham hocks), onion, W sauce, a capful of liquid smoke, salt and pepper. My greens are cooked fresh with with 3 slices of smoked bacon and my cornbread is southern style with onions diced in it and a can of creamed corn as well. served in a bowl sliced cornbread buttered (hot) peas served on top so the broth soaks the cornbread. being a type II diabetic I only get to make my cornbread twice a year these days: New Years morning and Thanksgiving. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
We were at my mother-in-law’s on New Year’s Day (grouting tile in her shower) so I didn’t get to cook my NYD black eyed peas. When we got home, we saw this recipe and I knew we had to make it today. It’s coming along nicely. BTW: the correct way to pronounce that W word is “Lea & Perrins” 😎 Any other bottle just isn’t worth it.
I love how your recipes embrace our American culture (and respect our neighboring cultures like Mexico) without relying on politics or religion. Just knowledge, good food, and good vibes.
Thank you, Happy New Year. See you in the New Year. God Bless and stay safe. EDIT: Black Eyed Peas with fried cornbread. Mini egg rolls with all the greens and an apple in them.
Happy New Year to you & Shannon. When I was young, my folks had a huge garden, & a good portion was dedicated to black-eyed peas. She always put in a bit of bacon grease & sliced okra. Serve that with cornbread & pan-fried potatoes, & you'd think you were in Heaven!
I'm a cornbread "dipper"! - Thanks for another great year of videos, and cooking inspiration. Health and happiness in 2023 Kent and Shannon. - LOVE you guys - Cheers!
Every New Year's Day I make Hopping John soup with pork sausage, bell pepper, onion, garlic, crushed tomatoes, blackeyed peas, rice, mixed greens, cajun seasoning, salt and pepper and serve it with cornbread. Been our tradition for about 20 years or more.
Happy New Years to you, Shan, the pups, and to all the folks you help out with those tasty meals and kind heart of yours! Thank you for your channel I look forward to them every Wednesday!
Wow! Just amazing to see how amazing this channel is. The confidence in Kent's speech, the great filming... Everything just works together to make some of the best food related content on youtube.
It is so wonderful to see you well and cookin' up some goodness. May God Bless you and your family. May this new year bring you all of the blessings and continue to fill your spirits with joy!
Purple-hulled peas are a different pea than blackeyes. The pea itself eats about the same, but the hulls are definitely purple when they're ready to pick. My grandmother used to boil the fresh (not dried) hulls, and sugar and pectin, and make jelly out of them!
Yes, Black Eye peas are different than Purple Hull peas in look and taste. They are certainly similar. When I was younger (like 60 years ago) my mother and grandmother would go to the local farmers market and get a bushel of Purple Hulls. I would get the “fun” of helping to shell them. Everything is fun when you were a kid…. at least before smart phones.
Same species, different cultivar. Most people are familiar with the California Blackeye. We used to grow purple hull peas in the south and there are other varieties as well of the same species.
I crumble my cornbread right into the peas or beans! Here is a favorite of mine when I was young: Sweet milk, cornbread crumbled in the milk with whole green onions.🎉
Wow! I never had Blackeyed Peas with so many seasonings and stuff in them. I just simmer mine overnight in water with a pound of diced raw bacon, a diced onion and a dash or 2 of Spice Islands Old Hickory Smoked Salt. Then I serve it over honey cornbread. I can't wait to try your recipe. Thank you for sharing it. I'm waiting for Amazon to ship me your cookbook. I know I'm going to enjoy it. Happy safe New Years to you, Shan and the furbabies.
This reminds me of growing up in Alabama and New Years dinners of pan fried pork chops, turnip greens, black eyed peas, corn bread, banana peppers and sweet iced tea (or just "tea" as it's known down there). I do think I will be making that this year. Thanks so much for reminding me how much I loved those dinners. 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful 2023!
Hey Kent that looks so good! I've never tried it with sausage in it, so I'm going to for New Year's Day. One thing that I do is to add in a big old tablespoon full of Tony Chachere Creole Spice Mix. It gives it a little more oomph. Not that I'm doubting your seasoning. No, sir - that is some delicious black eyed peas you have there. Happy New Year to you and Shannon and I hope that 2023 is a year full of joy and dreams coming true for you both.
You are an amazing soul, bud! I had my black eyed peas soakin when the video dropped! We used the rest of the Christmas ham and bacon instead of beef and sausage. Christ be with you, ours turned out fantastic!
Black Eyed Pea soup looks delicious. I’ll definitely have to try that recipe. Glad you’re feeling better. Happy New Years to you Cowboy Kent & Shannon from my lady Denise & myself. Looking forward to seeing you two & more recipes next year. ❤
Always makes me happier when I watch your videos. My grandson Ethan loved your smash burgers and I loved to make them! Lost Ethan last week 02/19/2003-12/21/2022. Thank you cowboy Kent for some smiles! God bless you in the coming new year!
God bless you and your grandson. ❤️
so sorry
Boy, that's rough, Chico; I am so sorry! My heart and prayers go out to you and all of his family. God bless you all with the memory of Ethan and the good times you had.
My prayers go out to you and yours.
I'm so very sorry to read this, 🙏🏻 for you and your family

My mother used to drop a single dry black eye into her New Year Day’s cornbread batter. Getting that piece of cornbread with the black eye was supposed to be a good luck sign for the New Year.
I like that, never heard of it, but going to do it next year
Our New Year's tradition was Cooked Cabbage; to ensure you would have money through out the New Year. I'm blessed; seems it has always worked for me.
My New Year's Tradition has become cooking a big pot of Blackeyes, a couple of pans of cornbread, and taking them into town and feeding homeless folks.
It started several years ago, when I was unemployed and worrying whether my meager savings were going to last until I found another job, but I cooked some Blackeyes and cornbread and took it to a few homeless camps, just to remind myself that others had it far worse than I did, and to wish for prosperity for all of us. The next year, I had a job, but I did it again, and one fellow remembered me from the year before, which also meant that he had been out on the streets for the whole year.
Now I cook Blackeyes every year, and on other weekends when I get a chance, I cook Pintos and cornbread for my homeless friends.
I was nervous as hell about dealing with homeless people at first, but now, it's one of the most meaningful things I do.
God Bless you. I lost a job I loved after 18 years. It's wonderful to remember to be thankful and share what we have even when life has us on the ropes.
When my grandad was a boy, his family was very poor and traveled around Texas picking cotton to survive. He said one month all they all had to eat was a 50 lb. sack of black eyes. He said they were sure tired of black eyes by the end of that month. LOL
But he loved them still. I'm always reminded of him when I see black eyed peas cooking. Thanks for a great video with some sweet nostalgia.
Oh, and, like grandad, I'm a cornbread man.
Cabbage, blackeye peas and spiral ham for New Year's day dinner...down here in Louisiana the peas are served over rice
Traditionally, in our household, noodles are a necessity for a New Year event. It signifies a long and prosperous life. May it be that way for everyone here. Blessings.
YES! Cornbread (on the side) and Black Eyed Peas - good anytime, but especially on a cold blustery New Years Eve!!!
Bravo to your video editor, Shan's jog between the hay bails was synchronized with the music! :)
Happy New Year to the Rollins' family and all their fans. May it be a far sight better than that last two and God bless you all.
Hearty and delicious!
Grandma always made black eyed peas, collards, and corn bread. It was always one of the best meals of the year.
Good eating for sure
Black eyed peas cooked with salt pork and we add greens for the same reasons you said, Mr. Rollins. Good fortune and wealth.
I'm from south east Texas. My mama taught me that the traditional New Years meal included the following for the blessings of Health, Prosperity and Wisdom
Ham for Health because a pig was fat and healthy
Cabbage for prosperity because the green leaves resembled our money
Black eyed peas for wisdom because of the "eyes"

That is how I cook a little this, a little that and a whole lot of onions and meat, and thick broth. From an old vet. Love your videos GOD bless.

Every New Years since the late 1970's , we save turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving and sometimes Christmas. We make turkey enchiladas for New Years Day.
Thank you for sharing your recipes with all of us.

Black eyed peas, ham, cabbage, and corn bread! Every year of my life on New Years Day ❤
I was wondering if anyone except us Okies ate cabbage 🥬 with their black eyed peas and hog jowl or salt pork for good luck on New Years day. Yummy 😋🤤
My mother always picks black eyed peas cabbage and ham on New Year's Eve and a slab of cornbread
Stew and soup perfect for the weather 🥶
Black eyed Peas, Ham, Cabbage and some good ol cornbread...that's our New Year's Day tradition.. Happy New Year's to y'all

Peace, good health and happiness to you and Shannon for this year and as far as we can see. Thanks for all I have learned from you.
Our pleasure and thanks so much
We always have white rice with our black eye peas and collards. The rice is for peace and harmony in the New Year.
Sounds good to me, Happy New Year
Our tradition for New Years has always been blackeye peas with salt meat, and with either cornbread or rice (depened which my mom wanted to cook) and cabbage. With tomato relish and sliced onion on the side. After I grew up and started my on family we would fry some chicken legs also.

PS- never heard of mixing greens 🥬 and black-eyed peas together in a dish.
Fixn to make mine soon! With Chunked Ham Steak and Collard Greens. Southern (No Sugar) Cornbread.
My mom is from Korea, so for New Years we always eat rice cake soup, but I can totally get on board eating black eyed pea soup too!
I mkae a black eyed pea casserole similar to the green bean one we have one thanksgiving. I use a can of black eyed peas with jalapenos, a can of cream of potato soup and the canned french fried onions. We have this every year on New Years Day.

Sounds good
God bless you kent please keep my grandmother in your prayers she's fighting for her life I'm not ready for the good lord to take her yet
We are from Tallulah, Louisiana northeast corner of the state. Our New Years tradition is black eyed peas, cornbread, and either greens or fried cabbage. Love watching your videos. HAPPY NEW YEARS!
Thank you. I miss Oklahoma and farme life
Happy New Year Shannon and Kent…. And the doggies
I have been watchin your channel since ya'll started and I must say that you and Shannon are God sent to help us folks remember what our ancestors used to make foods that warm our hearts like in days of old. So many of your recipes I've been taught when I was knee high to my gran and she was only 5'2" hehehe end closing I say May GOD hold you and Shannon in his hands and bless you both
Thanks David so much and Happy New Year
Thanks to God for your life.
Every new episode with you and Shan is a heart lifter for me in NYC. And that’s not just BS. I recently went home to Indiana and made lard biscuits and gravy for the family inspired by you.
So f his mom and dad right? Lol
Thanks for the video first off. Now for what I make for the family for new years. We have black eyes peas, some greens, whole smoked ham, cabbage soup, buttermilk pie, Mac and cheese, green beans.
I love black eyed pea soup. I serve mine over cornbread. You and your lovely wife stay safe be happy. Never miss your videos I love them.
Thanks so much for watching and Happy New Year
You were actually correct in calling them beans. As that's what they are. They are, like all beans, a legume. Love the addition of the green chile.
This is my favorite with a nice helping of corn bread.
Hoppin' John, Cabbage, hog jowl, and cornbread! Yum!
@KentRollins. Hello, dear sir and madam. I sent you an email to verify this was legit! Lol! I'm always a bit skeptical when it comes to winning something. It doesn't happen to me very often!
Our New Year tradition was Scots Broth: Take a lamb shank, add a ground turnip, a few ground carrots, ground leeks, peas and pearled barley, in a large pot, fill water, and simmer pretty much for ever. We also had tattie scones (thats potatoes for all you Sassenachs).
Peas + Okra !! Black eyed Peas going in Insta pot, will add the Green Okra later. Great Southern dish.
I guess I'm a southern boy been havin black eyed peas and cabbage with some coinage durn near my whole 70yrs for New Years traditional meal. Happy New year Kent and the family along with the whole video viewer ship
Funny that the idea of beans bringing good luck by representing the money you will earn in the new years is so universal! Here in Italy the staple new year food is Lentil soup, usually cooked with either stinco (pig hock) or cotechino (a type of very thick sausage), and there's the same tradition that eating a lot of lentils at New Year's Eve will bring a lot of money in the year to come
Thank you sir for braving the cold to bring this recipe to life! I will be trying this recipe this year. Usually I do pintos w/ham hock and cornbread but this looks amazing. Probably gonna sub the beef for deer hamburger this year. Again, thank you and wishing you a healthy and prosperous 2023!
Thanks Floyd so much and Happy New Year
My mother, God rest her soul, would make black eyed peas every new year for me, I miss her and and I miss them, if she could, she would kiss you right now for bringing back such a sweet memory, God bless you!
I might try this recipe some other time of the year but my New Year's tradition will continue unchanged Blackeyed peas, mustard and turnip greens, and cornbread. My peas have smoked ham (usually ham hocks), onion, W sauce, a capful of liquid smoke, salt and pepper. My greens are cooked fresh with with 3 slices of smoked bacon and my cornbread is southern style with onions diced in it and a can of creamed corn as well. served in a bowl sliced cornbread buttered (hot) peas served on top so the broth soaks the cornbread. being a type II diabetic I only get to make my cornbread twice a year these days: New Years morning and Thanksgiving.
Thanks for sharing your recipe!
We were at my mother-in-law’s on New Year’s Day (grouting tile in her shower) so I didn’t get to cook my NYD black eyed peas. When we got home, we saw this recipe and I knew we had to make it today. It’s coming along nicely.
BTW: the correct way to pronounce that W word is “Lea & Perrins” 😎 Any other bottle just isn’t worth it.
True american for a true american recipe ! Good job Guy !
Happy new year to you and your family !
I love how your recipes embrace our American culture (and respect our neighboring cultures like Mexico) without relying on politics or religion. Just knowledge, good food, and good vibes.
Just joined and had to subscribe I really enjoy your show your cooking and your spirit. May God continue to bless you and your family
Now Kent .... you fell short you have to have garlic in blackeyed pea hoppin john.. truly makes a difference
Thank you, Happy New Year. See you in the New Year. God Bless and stay safe. EDIT: Black Eyed Peas with fried cornbread. Mini egg rolls with all the greens and an apple in them.
Sounds great, Happy New Year to you
Blacked eyed peas with Elk and pork...... That's what I could make this year
Sounds great to me
Happy New Year to you & Shannon. When I was young, my folks had a huge garden, & a good portion was dedicated to black-eyed peas. She always put in a bit of bacon grease & sliced okra. Serve that with cornbread & pan-fried potatoes, & you'd think you were in Heaven!
Now that does make me hungry
I pray 2023 is a better year for y'all. Happy new year to you and yours!
Everyday is a Great Day Above the Grass, Thanks so much and Happy New Year to you
It’s an honor for us to continue to watch your videos Sir. Happy and healthy New Year.
It is our honor that you do, Thanks so much for watching and Happy New Year
I'm a cornbread "dipper"! - Thanks for another great year of videos, and cooking inspiration.
Health and happiness in 2023 Kent and Shannon. - LOVE you guys - Cheers!
Happy new year . Nothing better in the cold then warm soup 🍲 God bless
Every New Year's Day I make Hopping John soup with pork sausage, bell pepper, onion, garlic, crushed tomatoes, blackeyed peas, rice, mixed greens, cajun seasoning, salt and pepper and serve it with cornbread. Been our tradition for about 20 years or more.
Happy New Years to you, Shan, the pups, and to all the folks you help out with those tasty meals and kind heart of yours! Thank you for your channel I look forward to them every Wednesday!
Thanks so much for watching and Happy New Year
Always had Black-eyed peas and cornbread growing up in OKC.
Love it! Thank you, sir!!!
Wow!
Just amazing to see how amazing this channel is.
The confidence in Kent's speech, the great filming...
Everything just works together to make some of the best food related content on youtube.
Looks delicious. Blackeyed peas, collard greens, and cornbread, yum!
Glad you're feeling better. God bless you and Happy New Year to you all!
Can't forget the cabbage
It is so wonderful to see you well and cookin' up some goodness. May God Bless you and your family. May this new year bring you all of the blessings and continue to fill your spirits with joy!
Thanks so much and Happy New Year to you
Purple-hulled peas are a different pea than blackeyes. The pea itself eats about the same, but the hulls are definitely purple when they're ready to pick. My grandmother used to boil the fresh (not dried) hulls, and sugar and pectin, and make jelly out of them!
Yes, Black Eye peas are different than Purple Hull peas in look and taste. They are certainly similar.
When I was younger (like 60 years ago) my mother and grandmother would go to the local farmers market and get a bushel of Purple Hulls. I would get the “fun” of helping to shell them.
Everything is fun when you were a kid…. at least before smart phones.
Mike made moonshine with them on the "Moonshiners" tv show lol
I came to say the same. Purple hull and black eyed are different. If I see Tony from ruston la I'll set him straight. I graduated from latech.
Same species, different cultivar. Most people are familiar with the California Blackeye. We used to grow purple hull peas in the south and there are other varieties as well of the same species.
I crumble my cornbread right into the peas or beans! Here is a favorite of mine when I was young: Sweet milk, cornbread crumbled in the milk with whole green onions.🎉
That does sound good
Wow! I never had Blackeyed Peas with so many seasonings and stuff in them. I just simmer mine overnight in water with a pound of diced raw bacon, a diced onion and a dash or 2 of Spice Islands Old Hickory Smoked Salt. Then I serve it over honey cornbread. I can't wait to try your recipe. Thank you for sharing it. I'm waiting for Amazon to ship me your cookbook. I know I'm going to enjoy it. Happy safe New Years to you, Shan and the furbabies.
Greens, black eyed peas, hog jowl, and cornbread.. Good New Year's fixins.
I grew up in Pennsylvania and we would have pork and sauerkraut.
This reminds me of growing up in Alabama and New Years dinners of pan fried pork chops, turnip greens, black eyed peas, corn bread, banana peppers and sweet iced tea (or just "tea" as it's known down there).
I do think I will be making that this year.
Thanks so much for reminding me how much I loved those dinners. 🙂
Hope you have a wonderful 2023!
Thanks Allyson so much and Happy New Year
Hey Kent that looks so good! I've never tried it with sausage in it, so I'm going to for New Year's Day. One thing that I do is to add in a big old tablespoon full of Tony Chachere Creole Spice Mix. It gives it a little more oomph. Not that I'm doubting your seasoning. No, sir - that is some delicious black eyed peas you have there. Happy New Year to you and Shannon and I hope that 2023 is a year full of joy and dreams coming true for you both.
Cornbread hand corn butter and black eye peas cooked with hambone Mmmmmmmm.
Happy new year
You are an amazing soul, bud! I had my black eyed peas soakin when the video dropped! We used the rest of the Christmas ham and bacon instead of beef and sausage. Christ be with you, ours turned out fantastic!
God bless you Thanks so much and Happy New Year to you
Love the New years Blackeyed Peas my favorite
Put the cornbread in the bowl and pour the black eyed peas over it. Happy New Year's Kent!
Black Eyed Pea soup looks delicious. I’ll definitely have to try that recipe. Glad you’re feeling better. Happy New Years to you Cowboy Kent & Shannon from my lady Denise & myself. Looking forward to seeing you two & more recipes next year. ❤
