Among other traditional New Yearβs Day foods, greens and coin-shaped breads β think rolls and muffins, round sourdough loaves, and skillet cornbread β are touted to bring prosperity in the coming year. This year, weβre sharing a sneak peek at The Heirloomed Kitchen: Made-from-Scratch Recipes to Gather Around for Generations by lifelong Southerner Ashley Schoenith with her take on collard greens and cornbread!
Collard Greens with Applewood Smoked Bacon
Ashleyβs spin on Southern collard greens is a super quick and easy way to get something warm, hearty, and lucky on the table for New Yearβs Day! Flavored with smoky bacon, onion, and a tangy zip of apple cider vinegar, youβll want to come back to these greens all season long. Get the full recipe HERE.
Skillet Cornbread with Leeks
Dress up your New Yearβs Day cornbread with leeks and chopped chives for an extra-special addition to the menu. Serve warm, straight from the skillet, with plenty of butter. (Bonus points for whirling some chopped leeks and chives into your butter in the blender before serving!) Get the cornbread recipe HERE.
Hereβs to good food and good luck in 2024!
