Ring in the New Year With a Little Flavor

If you are getting ready to say goodbye to a prosperous or not so prosperous 2015, don’t ring in 2016 without making a list of resolutions and enjoying some good food. Whether you plan to cook up a bunch of tasty delights or to go out to your local salsa and Latin cuisine restaurant, here are some foods you shouldn’t be without for the New Year.

Increase Wealth and Prosperity

Bring luck to your household by eating some greens or spinach. Not only are they full of nutrients and vitamins, they are also very tasty. They are symbolic of money. The more greens you have, the more money you will supposedly enjoy throughout the year. 

Enjoy Success, Good Fortune and Safety

If you want to bring good fortune, safety and success to our household, then it’s time for you to add some fish into your diet. You don’t have to come up with some elaborate fish dish to cook for dinner. You can always make a spread, or go out to have your favorite fillets at a local salsa or Latin restaurant.

Add Luck and Riches

 

One can never have too much luck throughout the year. To increase yours eat some fruit. One popular Mexican New Year tradition is to eat grapes. Now don’t just toss a handful of them into your mouth. The tradition is to eat 12 grapes, one at the start of every hour. Each grape represents one month of the year. If you are not a fan of grapes or don’t have any, the next best thing is to eat a pomegranate. Its seeds are symbolic of riches, so eat plenty of seeds.

It’s never too soon or late to start your own New Year traditions. Whether you plan to spend the holiday home alone or with family and friends, make sure you eat and are doing something you love. Don’t forget to incorporate Salsa Puerto Rican and Latin Cuisine into your plans as well. Call us today at (615) 401-9316 for reservations.
