We normally just follow the recipe that's on the back of the pea bag.

On a side note, does anyone else have cabbage with their peas for a financially-prosperous New Year? The idea is cabbage is green, so is money. My wife's family never did it, but mine does. And we both grew up in Texas. Just curious if this is a cultural thing...

We have cabbage but you're supposed to put a dime in the peas for prosperity.

I like a little sugar in the peas. Cook ours with the bone left from Christmas ham.

We eat turnip greens instead of cabbage for our New Years meal.
