The year is coming to an end and it won't be long to New Years. What's New Years without a helping of Hoppin' John. This recipe has it all, that is all of those essentials to eat on New Years Day to have good luck for the entire year. You can always throw some dried black eyed peas in your change purse for extra luck ;).

1 medium onion chopped
2 cans of black eyed peas
2 cups of water
pinch of crushed red pepper
1 cup of uncooked quick rice
