I think we make better food on New Year's because we aren't running around to multiple places.
My first attempt at bread pudding is in the oven and DH is going to make prime rib for dinner. Yum!
What are you making? Do you eat better food on New Year's?

I think I'm gonna put a roast in the crock pot. Baking sounds fun...maybe I'll do that, too!

We have friends coming over for lunch. DH is doing a pork tenderloin, Asian Slaw Salad, Grilled Corn, and Black Eyed Peas. Hopefully the peas will bring us luck this year!

Beef stew probably- nothing fancy. But I made boston cream pie last night.

A ham & mashed potatoes (I have a ton of potatoes that need to get used up!), still have to figure out the rest as we ended up using up all the green beans and salad fixings last night, I'm sure we have something frozen I can dig up or run out to the store.

Probably spinach, black-eyed pea dip, and pork chops.
Here is the recipe for the black-eyed pea dip. It is so good. I made it last year.

We usually have traditional hoppin John, cabbage and corn bread, but We're staying home to take down Christmas stuff and aren't going to my MIL's to eat it. I'm not superstitious, though. Ill probably make some sort of soup today instead.

I made a roast chicken last night because I got out of work early. I always forget how easy it is - in my mind, it seems like so much work!

@betsyboop: We made that this morning too! I don't think I've ever had a New Years Day without it!

This morning we had pigs in blankets, and I have hoppin johns going in the slow cooker. I'll make up some cornbread later. I'm not particularly superstitious but I have eaten them on every New Year's Day of my life, so I just feels wrong to think about skipping it...

I was going to do Hoppin John but we have so much leftover chicken noodle soup we will just eat that! I have a bagel casserole in the oven and we had smoothies for breakfast!

Traditional Korean rice cake soup for lunch and salmon and shrimp for dinner.

@MrsH: It's a black-eyed peas and rice dish. Southern tradition that eating it on New Year's Day will bring prosperity and good luck in the new year (the peas are supposed to represent coins).
A lot of people I know serve it with greens (cabbage in my family) to represent money, and corn bread, which represents gold. I usually cook it with a ham hock but couldn't find one yesterday so I'm using bacon instead.

@lovehoneybee: thanks 
I had never heard the black eyed pea tradition until today. I don't think I've ever eaten them either. Are they yummy?

I may try honey garlic chicken thighs in the slow cooker. I still have to take chicken out though!

@MrsH: Just what @lovehoneybee said, though sometimes we eat them with collard greens instead of cabbage. I actually hate the entire meal, which is why I'm not superstitious about missing it. I try to avoid the whole thing. Ha ha.
So to answer your question, I do not think its yummy. Oh, and you're also supposed to leave at least one pea left on your plate or its considered bad luck. We love our superstitions in the south.

@BananaPancakes: I've never made it but the Pioneer Woman had a recipe in her cookbook!
This recipe, if you decide you want black eyes peas, is delicious though! http://m.cookeatshare.com/recipes/texas-two-bean-soup-443824#CES it's Texas two bean soul from Moosewood. It's vegan (until you add the cheese!) and even my DH loves it! Definitely add the corn, and mix a little like juice with the sourcream. Delicious.

@grizz: ooh that sounds good! Do you have a recipe? Is it expensive to make? I'm always wanting to expand our casserole collection.

Usually we have pork and sauerkraut on New Years Day with my extended family, but this year our family dinner got pushed to this Saturday. This morning I made cheese and blueberry crepes, and tonight I am making stuffed pig stomach.

@Bookish: thanks for the inspiration! I think that's what we'll do too.

@jedeve: it doesn't end up costing a lot at all when we buy frozen shrimp! It's so good and super easy. http://m.foodnetwork.com/recipes/32560

Pork and sauerkraut! It's what we always eat for luck in the new year. This year, I made potato and sauerkraut latkes with applesauce on top. Yum!
