The most difficult time for a small business is typically after the holiday season. So while we don’t wan to worry, we will be angling for all the luck we can get. A delicious, Italian tradition is the eating of lentils on New Years Eve to bestow financial health and general good luck in the coming year. See this article  for a brief history on why and where these lentils are eaten, and then pop over to the Barilla Academy for another variation on the recipe. Maybe this tasty dinner will help us in the New Year?

Here at Via Umbria we hope that your New Year involves health and stability, and we wish you all the best in 2015.
