HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Traditional southern "New Year's Day" dinner for us -

Pork Roast
Sauerkraut (cabbage)
Hoppin' John (w/ blackeyed peas)
New Potatoes
Turnip Greens
and French Bread (instead of corn bread because I didn't realize we needed cornmeal & 2014 is going to be the year of "It doesn't have to be perfect, Wendy!")

And donuts for dessert!

Welcome to all the new folks!

This morning we had a layered ham and cheese strata, a traditional New Year's Day breakfast item for us. We ate it in bed while we watched the Rose Parade.

I'm making brownies right now and dinner will be Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches with the Prime Rib slices leftover from Christmas Day Dinner.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Dinner tonight was a small steak with microwaved vegetables (I got the frozen variety and was too lazy to boil a pot of water); and a chicken sausage. No carbs and no added sugar that I know of.

We made some lentil burgers for DH.




I've been enjoying my time off. I wish I had an extra week. Oh well. Back to work next Tuesday.

I thought that audio on the Rose parade was awful.. We could not hear the commentator's over the music. I was very disappointed.

Your breakfast sounds very nice...

We had bagels with chive cream cheese... Round for the circle of life!

We had Kale, spinach and collards for our greens (money), then had pork loin (For living high on the hog), and black eyed peas (good luck). A little rosemary bread and brie on the side, and I was one happy girl..

Happy New Year my dear friends!!

I am sort of excited to get back to normal. We had such a fun holiday with Christmas right up to when we went to bed last night. But today is back to normal for us and I welcome it.

PIO ~ Your pictures are stunning. Here is the easy breakfast crockpot recipe:
Spray your crockpot
pour in one large bag of hashbrowns
pour in one bag of precooked sausage crumbles - you could use any meat or omit
large bag of cheese - I used mild cheddar
Wisk together 1 dozen eggs with a splash of milk. Pour over mixture.
Season to taste
Gently stir and put on low overnight.
My low is really low so it wasn't done the next morning, but an hour on high and it was. Stephanie made it on NYday and her low cooked it fine. Adjust to your own pot

Nan ~ Moonshiner and wings - girl you just make me laugh. We really are cut out of the same cloth. That would so be Doug and I!!

Dean ~ Happy Birthday!!

Wendy ~ I love your attitude!!

Agavegirl ~ I would also love your Lobster mac and cheese recipe. That just sounds amazing.

Allison ~ Your NYmorning sounds as close to perfect as you can get. I didn't get out of my jammies all day. Ahhhh!!

Brandi ~ I thought of you yesterday. Mario Batali was on GMA and was talking about making Thursday also Meatless. Did you see him? And I thought huh.......I wonder if Brandi and David will also go vegetarian 2 days a week.

Everyone that is in this massive snow storm, please stay safe and warm. Prayers are with you all!!

I have so much to do today, but yet here I am. I am putting it off, can ya tell. I have done year end on most of my applications except my accounting module. I had to wait till today for the new year and last donations. So as soon as I get off of here I have to do it. I will be glad when all this is behind me.

We had a very quiet NYeve and day. Just the way I love and wanted it. And the best part was Nebraska beat Georgia in their bowl game. WOOHOO!! We were NOT picked to win so that was an extra bonus. I always say - On any give day any team can win. And we did. There was some hoopen and hollering for sure.

WFDT ~ Bacon and eggs with pumpkin pancakes. Pure comfort food for sure.

Make it a great day all!!

 

[dgbg100106]

Ellen,

I did not see him on GMA, darn it... But yes we are going to two days a week, now. So I truly go meatless for the day, David goes meatless for the evening meal.

I am trying to get him to go meatless for the whole day, but he loves his smoked salmon for breakfast...So we shall see, but even two meals for him is a big step.

We had a huge salad on Monday with Chick peas, almonds, walnuts, lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, celery, bell peppers. David did not even notice that there was no meat until he was about half way through. So he is getting there..

I know closing out the books can not be fun, but heres to getting that done and over with!

Pumpkin Pancakes sound wonderful, do they have lots of spice in them?

 

[PrincessInOz]

Ellen - I'm getting back to normal on Tuesday. I'm sure I'll enjoy it then; but right now, I'm really enjoying the holiday feeling. Thanks for the recipe. That's one heck of a breakfast recipe. I'm seeing lots of recipes for breakfast trifle right now. Sweet, sweet and sweet.


Brandi - We've been having a bit of meat (leftovers) since Christmas. Even DS asked for a meatless meal yesterday.

 

[Nancyg56]

So have any of you tried Bob's Red Mill Muesli? We ate Muesli every morning on the cruise and I wanted to try and make it but it is much cheaper to buy it....

I have not tried it, but I like Bobs products. I try to use them whenever possible

I get a night off cooking tomorrow lol as I get to pick where we go for birthday tea ( oops dinner ) Lol
Yay a long weekend !
On Sunday it will be the beach side festival in a nearby town ( about 15 minutes away ) of Port Macdonnell
There will be lots of people / tourists & food carts around for the day - should be fun !

Happy Birthday! Have a great time at the beach!

Happy New Year my dear friends!!


Nan ~ Moonshiner and wings - girl you just make me laugh. We really are cut out of the same cloth. That would so be Doug and I!!

Happy New Year back at you! It sounds like you have a wonderful holiday, all the way around, and I am so glad!
Yes, we sure do like the same things, don't we? Budy woul dbe in Heaven in your neck of the woods,as would I!Marisa bought us some Apple Pie Moonshine, and my Hubby, who really does not drink.....loves it!

I love pumpkin pancakes!

I am enjoying the holiday too. It has been a welcomed break, and I love it!
WE have entertained a bit during the Holiday, and I have cooked prime rib several times, the last on Christmas, It was delicious, but I am so sick of it! I also cannot look at roasted pork either, so I am a little embarrassed. Tomorrow Buddy's boss and his wife are coming to dinner, and I am making spaghetti and meat sauce, and sausage. They go all out for us, but I think if I have to eat any more red meat, I will faint! They wanted to go out for pizza, but every time we go with them, they insist on paying, and while I am happy they want to be nice to us, it is not right. Jeannie loves the fireplace, so it will be cozy here and we'll have plenty to eat, and some good wine, and beer.

Hope that your dinner went well. And yes, I agree. It's not right when one party insists on paying all the time. Friendships should be two-way streets.


Dinner tonight was noodles. A very simple meal. I just blanched some bean shoots, heated up the Hokkein noodles by blanching them in boiling water; and made a sauce with shrimp, stock, oyster sauce and soya. Poured the shrimp and sauce over the noodles and bean shoots. Simple.

I love noodles. Last night I had 'drunken noodles' from our local Thai restaurant very yummy
Tonight we had roasted chicken & veg
Have a great weekend all

 

[dgbg100106]

Last night was roasted chicken and black eyed peas
tonight is pizza....

Hugs everyone

 

[franandaj]

I've been so tired lately from all the boxes we have been moving. We ordered Chinese two nights ago and last night we had crescent dogs. I am suffering the same big meat overload so I wanted something simple as well.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Dean - Roast Chicken for dinner.

Brandi - Roast Chicken for dinner.


Did the two of you mind meld or something when you were on the cruise???


Alison - Takeaway Chinese sounds great.



I'm heading out to see a movie today. Desolation of Smaug. It's the 11th day of Christmas here and I'm thinking it is time to pack away the Christmas tree. That'll be my job today; or tomorrow.

I have no idea what's for dinner tonight. But I know it won't be roast chicken!

We are still all meat-ed out here.
