January: Healthy Collard Greens and Black-Eyed Peas Over Oats

Eating black-eyed peas and greens on New Year's Day is thought to bring good fortune for the rest of the year (thanks to the peas' resemblance to coins and the greens' to folded dollar bills). Combine these with steel-cut oats for a dish that's packed with fiber, protein and, hopefully, a bit of luck!
