I’m going to fall back on all of the superstitions, rituals, and plain old prayers I know to will 2021 into being a good year for everyone. I’m starting off the week with comfort food in the form of Chicken Noodle Casserole, filling in the middle with Freekeh Vegetable Soup and Spring Rolls, and then ringing in the New Year with Hoppin’ John, a Southern meal intended to bring prosperity and wealth. I’m hoping these recipes will bring a bit of unity as we eat our way around the world and the cultures that make up our country. I, and the rest of the Simply Recipes family, wish you and yours a very happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!
