Nothing spectacular. I was going to make jambalaya, but my friend that was going help me eat it got called away, so I'm just going to have a sandwich with that fresh bread I'm making, plus some salad, from all those greens and basil.
 
Yesterday's pot roast becomes today's beef stew with some added veggies. I also snagged a cold beef sammie for lunch w/ horseradish and mayo.
 
Leftover Chinese food for lunch - having chicken enchiladas with red chile sauce & grated habanero Havarti cheese for dinner.
A bit of heat to start off 2020 !
 
Traditional southern New Year's meal Greens, Cornbread, and Black-eyed peas.
Black-eyed Peas symbolize pennies, Greens dollars, and Cornbread Gold see a pattern or is it just me

We almost always have pork on New Year's day. I roasted two tenderloins, one with Jamaican jerk seasoning and one with Fines Herbs. We also had roasted carrots, and roasted potato cubes, steamed broccoli and garbage...I mean garden salads.

yes, I do greens with ham hocks most of the time however, on New Years I traditionally use smoked hog jowls. No, cornbread with greens? Lucky you are in California I believe greens without cornbread is against the law in Alabama.

We had a mid-day meal at our neighbors' New Year's Day potluck - they had ham, hoppin' John (a black-eyed pea dish) and collards. So for dinner, I made a few snacks - phyllo pastry cups with spinach and artichoke dip-type filling, pigs in a blanket with homemade honey mustard sauce and stuffed baked potato bites. I made a Black Forest trifle for the potluck.
