With the weather what it is here…one day hot, one day, snow…I’d love to take off for New Year’s to some Wilmington NC real estate…not gonna happen this year. So we will stay at home and make the best of it.
For New Year’s Eve dinner, we are having another Shaw’s *Get Inspired* recipe, for pepper crusted steaks. As a side dish, I want to make a recipe I saw on the Katie Brown Workshop, which is potatoes stuffed with Gorgonzola. The recipe can be found on this page. Who knew I’d ever use a Katie Brown recipe, but this one looks yummie!
For New Year’s Day, we have to have a dish called Hoppin’ John…which consists mostly of black-eyed peas and rice. According to southern tradition, serve Hoppin’ John with a dish of greens, and you will have luck and prosperity in the New Year. We also serve a roast chicken or duck with the Hoppin’ John and greens (usually spinach for us).
What are you planning for New Year’s Eve/Day?
