spinach with yellow-eyed peas and fried eggs from Eats Well With Others

Let’s get some good New Year’s juju up in this joint.

Here’s how it’s gonna go. I’m gonna give you this rockstar beans and greens recipe that will bring you ALL THE LUCK when you eat it on January 1st. AND I’m gonna tell you about this rockstar monthly snack box subscription that will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, not only because it is full of totally scrumptious good-for-you no-guilt healthy snacks…but also because for every snack box that is sold, a meal is donated to a hungry child in the US.

SHAZAM! And that’s how we’re gonna get our good karma in this year. By stuffing our faces with things like Tuxedo Popcorn, Maple Fudge, Ginger Twist Tea, Rosemary Sea Salt Shortbread, and Sweet Potato Popchips.

And spinach and chickpeas with a fried egg on top.

Karma tastes good.

This monthly snack box subscription I’m talking about is called Love With Food. Each box costs only $10 and arrives at your door full of unique, hard-to-find healthy snacks. Let me tell you, getting a box full of food in the mail is always fun. Love With Food also partners with various food banks so that for each box sent out, a meal is donated to someone who needs it. Another fun aspect of Love With Food is that by reviewing the organic and all-natural snacks you try each month, you can earn points that you can then use to buy more of the snacks you love from Love With Food’s online store. It’s really a win/win kind of situation, if you ask me.

Love With Food is currently running a holiday special such that with any order purchased until 1/1/14, you will receive a $15 gift from Soap.com or Little Black Bag. In addition, by using the code ‘HOLIDAY2013’, you can get $5 off your next purchase.

To get you even more excited about this, I am giving away a 3-month subscription to Love With Food! All you have to do to enter is leave a comment telling me what your favorite gift you got someone this year was. For additional entries, you can like Love With Food’s facebook page and leave a separate comment telling me that you’ve done so.

Every country has its own set of lucky foods that one should eat on New Year’s Day in order to have a prosperous year ahead, but by far my favorite is the south’s greens and beans tradition. Traditionally, these are black-eyed peas and collard greens, but I went with some yellow-eyed peas and spinach for this hearty smoky healthy dish. You can use whatever you have sitting around your pantry! This is my submission to this month’s Recipe Redux, the theme of which is Good Luck Foods!

Spinach with Yellow-Eyed Peas and Fried Eggs
 
Good for you and full of great smoky flavor, this greens and beans dish topped with a fried egg is perfect for a lucky New Year's!

  • 28 oz canned diced tomatoes
  • 3 cups vegetable broth

  34. I’ve never even heard of yellow-eyed peas, for some reason! This looks hearty and homey… would you believe that as soon as I typed that, my stomach made the most obnoxious grumbling noise ever? Well it is after midnight, so I suppose I deserve that.

    My favourite Christmas purchase this year would probably have to be Chip Kidd’s new book, which teaches kids about graphic design. I got him to sign it to “Irina’s parents,” ha!

    Hope you’ve been well, Joanne!

  35. Love with Food sounds like a great concept – they need to come to Australia (or England, given I’m heading there next year) 🙂 And I don’t eat enough yellow eyed peas. Must rectify that!
