Personal Notes:
When my husband and I spent our first New Year's together, he mentioned that his family had a long-standing tradition on eating black eyed peas as the first food to eat on New Year's Day for good luck.

So, we adopted this delicious dish as our own tradition, slightly modifying it and renaming it from the traditional Texas Caviar to "Kansas Caviar" to honor where my husband is from. This healthy appetizer has been a favorite among family and friends!
