what's on the menu for your New Year's meal .. .. as has become our tradition we will welcome the new year with black-eyed peas, collard greens, pork chops and cornbread ..

Oatmeal and coffee.

Back bacon and tea for breakfast, we'll see what happens later....

Slow cooking Italian sausage that is heavy on the garlic. Adding my homemade sauce to it in a bit then putting it on low slow for another 4 hour.
But Jim’s traditional southern meal sounds great. I may have to start driving in his direction with my plate and fork.

Our usual traditional meal is baked ham, blackeye peas and cabbage, but this year we are going with fried chicken strips, potato salad and pork and beans.

Sounds like we are having fish. Ok by me.

sorry, tooooo late .... do have about a half of a pot of black-eyed peas left .... I'd like to hear more about your Italian Sausage

For lunch I rode over to a small country store about 5 miles away. They cook 3 meals a day, always good.
I had hog jowl, mashed taters, cabbage, black eyed peas, with a piece of cornbread and a glass of sweet tea.
Got steaks on the grill at the moment and the wife is fixin some fries, will wash it all down with a cold brew.

We don't have a "traditional" new years day meal, it's what ever I decide to cook. Today it was steamed broccoli, baked potatoes, sautéed mushrooms & onions over Filet Mignon and some pumpernickel rolls.
It were yummy

Ham and beans with Texas Corn Bread. It was great. Some Red wine to was it down

Late to the party but we had grilled 2” thick New York steaks and my wife’s fantastic twice baked potatoes. It was great!

well what's on the menu for 2022 .. ..

for us, pulled pork BBQ, collard greens, blackeye peas, and cornbread ...

Haven’t thought about tonight but last night we had grilled New York steaks, baked potatoes, salad and apple turnovers with vanilla ice cream for desert.

Just got back from the little country store about 5 miles away. They cook.
Today's lunch.

Looks good but other than the beans I'm not sure what is on the plate on the right?

PURE southern

Red beans, rice, & ham. Corn bread. My wife cooked this from scratch every Jan1st for 50 years. Unfortunately, I don't have her cooking skills and it's just me now, so I do the best I can with Zatarains beans and rice mix.

Zatarains makes some good products.

There were turnip greens, boiled cabbage, and stewed potatoes.
Was good, too...
