My family used to eat hotdogs and sauerkraut for luck. Yuck!
This is my first New Years since becoming vegan. I’m curious as to what you vegetarians or vegans eat for New Years along with any other traditions.
This year I think I’ll eat… collard greens for wealth, black-eyed peas for luck, cornbread because it sounds good, and put on my red underwear for love. :)

That sounds great, I don't think you are missing anything. Except maybe dessert and Champagne!

Actually your New Year's sounds great :) Very southern-comfort (not the booze, either).
I'll probably make a vegan loaf and a few sides, some appetizers too.
I'm having some family over... a lot of the older adults in the family are going to this big dinner party, but the younger adults (18-30) are meeting up at our place. So I need to have a pretty decent spread.
Everyone's psyched because every time I host an event the food is really good (and 100% vegan, and all the omnis invited can't wait, usually they don't have this type of variety), but I'm freaking out already and getting stuff ready, looks like I'll be cooking for HOURS.
Thankfully my brother is coming a few hours early to help out.

I had never heard the hot dogs as good luck. The Red Panty thing is so cute! I had not heard of that either.
I am southern, Here we do the Black-eyed peas & Greens: I use Swiss Chard, as it's my Fav green.
Greens represent Dollars & Black-eyed Peas Coins.. The goal is to eat allot of both so you have a Prosperous New Year. Yeah gotta have that corn bread too yummy.
I make a dish called
Hoppin' Johns
Cooking Blackeyed Peas with celery, carrots & onion(wee bit of garlic). Kind of a stew. Then mixing with cooked rice simmering a while longer to merge the flavors. That along with the Greens & cornbread make a lovely News Years day lunch. My spouse usually gets some sausage with his as he's not a Veggie.
Merry Christmas
&
Happy New Year
Slainté (to your health)

My grandmother, who was Serbian, taught us to eat lentil soup at midnight. The number of lentils you ate in the first minute of the new year was supposed to represent the wealth you would receive in the coming year.
So there's a nice tradition that fits into a vegan life!
Happy New Year.

I think I'm making a big salad for health, some Oregano Chick (using heart-line chik)for compassion, mashed potatoes for comfort and mushroom gravy for flavor, maybe even some homemade cranberry sauce for fun, and a Deep Chocolate vegan cake for passion

Fruit, Perogies, Veggies, Fake meat
My favourite is Perogies and some cranberries! I don't give a hoot for traditions really but that's cause I'm Aquarius!

I have always eaten black-eyed peas and collards, even before I quit eating meat.

I eat vegetables for the vitamins and minerals, carbohydrates, and other good stuff. Happy New Year.

Honestly, if we eat anything special it will most likely be decadent and fattening. :)
