Happy New Year!

This year we rang in the new year with friends and family. My son has been here for a nice long visit and it's been great to catch up and spend quality time.

Of course, there has been lots of food around! New Year's Eve I did manage to stay up past midnight, but just barely. New Year's Day we had friends and family over and I cooked the traditional food.....black-eyed peas, collards, pork and sourkraut, ribs, mac and cheese. Dessert was banana pudding and chocolate cream pie.




I did walk my 3 miles this morning, so hopefully 2012 is off to a good start.

I hope everyone has a great year this year...I'm ready to hit the ground running with cooking for existing clients and continuing with new clients. I have several new cookbooks to spend time with this week and am eager to try new recipes and look for great new food finds.

Happy New Year!
