Special Holiday Meals: Good Luck Meal

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

Sometimes we feel that we just need a little extra luck, or maybe it is the superstitions of a day like Friday the 13th that makes us a little weary… truth be told, we just need to pray about it. However, a good meal doesn’t hurt either… just for fun, of course!

This is a semi-traditional menu plan that we came across somewhere, and we tweaked it to fit with current-day dishes:

Good Luck Meal

for Friday the 13th or any ‘unlucky’ day

BBQ Pork Ribs

Black-eyed peas, Greens, or a Good Luck Salad ** see below

Hoe Cakes

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

**Good Luck Salad

Pick your favorite salad greens and veggies, arrange them in the shape of a horseshoe, and serve… lol 🙂
