Our holidays always consist of the same foods: deviled eggs, collard greens, mac and cheese, ham, turkey, stuffing, yams, cranberry sauce (real cranberries this year thanks to MommyCG), baked corn, and a bajillion desserts. Corn bread and potato salad were absent this year. We save the chitlins and black eyed peas for New Year's.

Deviled eggs! I forgot about those! Sometimes we do sweet potato casserole w/ the marshmallows.
Growing up, my mom had to eat chitterlings because her father loved them. She hates them and probably hasn't eaten them in 40 years. My grandmother stopped cooking them after my grandfather died. I don't know anyone in my family who actually still eats them.

Daag, how did I forget the deviled eggs? I ate a couple of servings and packed the Significant Other and me two plates that included deviled eggs. My plate was intentionally better than the plate that I packed for the SO. 
Lesson that SO remembers every holiday: Pack your own plate so you won't be stealing DrPhil's awesomely good leftovers. SO is more into chitterlings and other dishes that SO's family cooks but my family does not cook.

New Years is typically black eye peas, cornbread, and neck bones. Now I will probably continue the neck bone tradition because those are really good and not as much work as chitterlings. lol
Speaking of healthy soul food, Patty LaBelle has a cookbook too and I've heard great reviews about it.
