Happy New Year

Hoppin' John

This new year we celebrated New Year's Day with trying two great recipes from the Pioneer Woman website.  The recipes are now going to be a family tradition for us every year.  They are awesome.  The recipes are Hoppin' John (I used brown rice & bacon) and Zannie's Black-eyed Pea Dip.  Both are really good!!  I have made a dip similar in the past that called for 2 sticks of butter and a pound of velveeta, so this was much better.  I hope that all have started a great new year.  We have had a great Christmas Holiday with our girls at home.  On January 6, our youngest goes back to Boston to start her spring semester.  Her last day in Texas has been beautiful.  Looking forward to more post as the New Year begins.
