Chili cheese dogs are a great all-American meal. They are nutritious, easy on the wallet and they make a great meal for the winter months. And children love them.

Hoppin’ John, the classic meal to serve on New Year’s Day, is a soul food dish that has African, Caribbean, and French roots. While eating black eyed peas for good luck in the new year is a tradition with roots from the American South, the custom actually goes all the way back to the Babylonians.
