Happy New Year! I have finally returned from the week long food coma that was Christmas with my family in Texas and I am feeling blessed and recharged for a great new year. Eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day is said to bring prosperity in the new year, so here’s a great recipe to start off 2012.
