Chef's Note: Unfamiliar with grits? Polenta is a great substitute.
Nutrition Nugget: Since Ann and Lesley live in the South, this meal is a spin on a traditional Southern new year’s day meal for fortune and good luck in the coming year. Greens, and particularly collard greens in the South, represent economic fortune in the new year. The more greens you eat, the larger your fortune. Legumes also represent money for the coming year and black-eyed peas symbolize good luck. Regardless of superstition, collard greens and black-eyed peas are nutrition power houses and what better way to start the new year than with yummy nutrition super stars in your tummy!
