In the southern United States it's specifically black-eyed peas that bring good luck, but elsewhere people tend to cook whichever bean or split pea is their favorite.
This is the time of year when my thoughts turn to French toast. Cold winter mornings, lazy Saturdays, and not to mention the ready availability of eggnog.
Compared to pancakes or waffles, French toast is somewhat labor-intensive and can be tricky to master. But the final results are so, so worth it.
