New Year’s Black-Eyed Peas For Good Luck

Ingredients

1 pound dry black-eyed peas
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups water
2 (32 ounce) cartons chicken broth
1 pound smoked ham hocks
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
5 pepperoncini peppers
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground thyme
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Place the black-eyed peas into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let soak, 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse before using. Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in 8 cups of water and chicken broth; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Stir in soaked black-eyed peas, ham hocks, tomatoes, pepperoncini, bay leaf, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer until peas are tender, ham meat is falling off the bones, and the broth is thickened, about 3 hours.

Remaining Active in the Winter

Do you find it challenging to keep active when it’s cold outside? At Marketplace Physical Therapy, our physical therapists will help you find ways to stay active no matter the weather conditions!

One of the most critical steps to take is to wear suitable outdoor clothing, including:

Choose tightly woven, preferably wind-resistant jackets

Learn to “layer up” in light, warm clothing

Cover your head, hands, and feet with hats, gloves/mittens, and insulated/waterproof boots.

The most common injuries related to cold weather happen from falls on icy sidewalks, steps, driveways, and porches. Do your best to keep your steps and walkways free of ice with sand, salt, or cat litter. If you plan to run or walk on snowy, icy surfaces, attaching snow or ice spikes to your boots or running shoes will help you maintain traction to reduce the risk of falls.
At Marketplace Physical Therapy, we will guide you through proven strategies to minimize your risks of injury while helping you stay active this winter!
