Looking for a new black eyed pea recipe for New Years Day. Saw one for Black Eyed Pea Chili on this website. Has anyone tried it and how would you rate it for a New Years Day Pot Luck ?

Hi: I just checked with the Food Editor at Relish magazine (they're Spry's sister magazine that focuses on food) and she said she really loved both the Black Eyed Pea Chili and the Mississippi Caviar recipes. Go for it!

thanks,

Thank you so much for checking this out for me. I've already bought all the ingredients so I could make a "test" pot ahead of time.
Also, I had already cut out the recipe for Mississippi Caviar from one of my Relish magazines.
My husband is from MS so I thought it would be an appropriate dish to take to pot luck at our friends house.
She always fixes Hoppin' John Soup for New Years so I think the Black Eyed Pea Chili and MS Caviar will be a great addition.

Thanks again and have a great holiday !!
