Black Eyed Peas, Collard Greens and Sausage Pizza

How are we over halfway through January already?

I was planning on ringing in the new year with this Black Eyed Peas, Collard Greens and Sausage Pizza or what I like to call Soul Food Pizza. But let’s be honest I reminded you that it’s my busiest time of year for work so it’s a little hard. And then we lost my dear Granddaddy last week so I have not really been on social media or up to blogging. Oh and to top it off I also just got over the stomach bug.

All that being said I then had to remind myself of my new word for the year – refresh! So today is a new day – it’s a new year!

I had this pizza about a year ago at a restaurant called Slice in downtown Birmingham. I thought wow what a crazy combination of things on a pizza – but I thought heck who from the South doesn’t love some soul food? I’m talking collard greens, bacon and black eyed peas…oh and let’s not forget some of my favorites Conecuh sausage and white cheddar cheese.

Last year during this time I shared this Black Eyed Peas and Collard Greens Soup. I was deciding between making a Black Eyed Pea Salsa or this pizza. But you know my kids and how much they are obsessed with pizza. So even this is supposed to be a dish for New Year’s Day  (ie the Southern good luck for the year tradition) but I am pretty sure that it will be excellent for any time of year.
