Luck & Money

        Collard, turnip, and mustard; greens are a cornerstone of good Southern eatin'. A recent study even measured the effectiveness of greens against the prescription drug Choloestyramine for lowering and blocking the body's cholesterol. Wildly enough, greens beat out the drug by thirteen percent! And mine ain't made with no damn ham hocks or fat back either.
        It being the new year and all, I figured it was about time to return to this classic dish. Growing up, my Mama always made sure I ate my black eyed peas and greens for good luck and a fat pocket. If we can foretell my year from the way I gobble up these black eyed pea cakes and sweet, smoky greens, in 2015 I'll be fuller than a tick and sittin' in high cotton!

As with most things, it is better to get your hands a lil dirty to form these cakes

Don't you dare waste any of that good pot likker!
