Happy New Year!

Hoppin' John

Sauteed Kale

Long Grain Brown Rice

This New Year supper was absolutely delish.  We totally devoured it.  Hoppin' John is a southern dish with black-eyed peas, a bit of bacon, celery, onion, and flavored with bay leaves and thyme.  It is traditionally eaten on New Year's Day, as the black eyed -peas are supposed to bring luck and/or prosperity (depending on the source you read - but I'll take either!).  Greens are the typical side dish - these were sauteed in olive oil with plenty of garlic.  Add liberal amounts of hot sauce.

There's a bit leftover for Skippin' Jenny tomorrow!
