Baby back ribs and hot dogs in sauerkraut. Maybe mashed potatoes. Last year we added a pork roast but that was a little two much for the 2 of us.

We're having a ham, glazed glazed with maple syrup, ketchup and sriracha, courtesy of Jacques Pepin. We'll probably have roasted sweet and white potatoes with a ton of garlic, and brussels sprouts.

Smoked ham, black-eyed peas, turnip greens, cornbread. I'll probably make something else to go with it since DH doesn't like peas, greens, or cornbread! We'll eat at home, just the two of us.

We will eat at home. He hates to eat out. Probably won't be traditional this year. I have no idea what I'm cooking.

I’m in the same boat as Sherry. We both prefer a home cooked meal, I’m just not sure what it will be yet. Probably black eyed peas for my DH, but since I’m not a fan, I’ll have something else...if the deck weren’t buried in several inches of snow, I’d be inclined to have a cook out, that sounds so good!!!

Baked ham with hash brown casserole & pineapple casserole. My husband wants me to add black eyed peas & collard greens-both in a can, fine. Looking forward to the Rose Parade!

I have yet to meet a vegetable I don't like. He probably likes maybe 7 or 8 (and then as little as possible of them). I have always cooked turnip greens, blackeyed peas, and okra with ham for New Years. I cooked that last week though, when I was out of ideas. I think it will be ham, broccoli, and scalloped potatoes. I also adore to eat out. If he eats out, it is too saltly, too spicy, too hot, too cold, takes to long to serve, ect. I have yet to go to a restaurant, that he doesn't complain about. If not while we are there, then sometime in the future (usually after I suggest going again).

ETA: He loves Burger King hamburgers, which I HATE.

Watching TV with bubbly. Whatever is in the cabinets for nibbling.

Lurkkirish, we have no snow, but it is very cold (at least for North Alabama). To me anything under 70* is freezing! If it wasn't, ribs on the grill sounds great!

We always go out. This year it will be a favorite Italian restaurant about 25 minutes away. They have a lovely garden behind a window, during Christmas, it is decorated with lights and assorted decorations. We go with another couple.

This year we'll be coming back to my house for dessert. My friend is limited in what she can eat, so I am making a carrot cake.

Beef Wellington. My stepdaughter watches "Hell's Kitchen". She's doing the cooking. To make it legal she'll have blackeye peas on the side lol.

Kenn, at least once, I will try Beef Wellington. And scallops.

We will have a pot of cranberry beans made with a ham hock. (No one like black eyed peas.) My boys prefer the refried beans made with leftovers.

Cabbage, I'm thinking of roasting slices...Dinner at home.

who knows what else...

The Big Guy may smoke some ribs or something..

I have eggnog that needs to be used...maybe bake a bundt or loaf cake.

I am making Hopping John this year (which for those of you who don’t know, contains BEPs), with a side of turnip greens and a small pan of cornbread. It will be just DH and me as it looks now. And it will be very cold. Perfect for staying in and watching ball games and relaxing.

I received an Instant Pot for Christmas, at my request. So far I love it. I plan to cook the peas and the rice in it. Maybe the whole shebang, I don’t know yet. Well, not the cornbread.

We'll be taking my MIL out for breakfast to celebrate her 88th birthday. (She was born on New Year's Day). Later DH & I will join my mother for dinner and a few hours of working on a jig saw puzzle together.

If she goes as overboard as usual, we'll have 2 pork roasts (1 fixed with sauerkraut, 1 just roasted), boiled potatoes, gravy, pear/apple sauce, roasted brusselsprouts, cranberry jello salad and some decadent dessert.

Current plans are to have the following at my house.

Ham

Black Eyed Peas

Sweet Potatoes

Green Beans

Collard Greens Southern Style

Mashed Potatoes

Macaroni and Cheese

Homemade Hot Rolls or Cornbread

Pineapple Fruitcake

Our traditional New Year's dinner...corned beef with cabbage, potatoes and carrots; black-eyed peas; turnip greens; and cornbread. We always have this meal at least twice a year: January 1 and March 17.

love the idea of sweet potatoes, i may have to go back to the grocery store....

Jambalaya, cole slaw, and black eyed peas (out of a can -- only time of year I serve them).

New Year's Day may be pot roast with savoy cabbage and potatoes.

New Year's EVE is always a variety of cheeses, olives, fishes, wines, and heart of palm/millionaire's salad.

Black eyed peas, slaw, broccoli cheese casserole and cornbread.

It's a perfectly good reason to have Hoppin' John and collards, a dish we both love and have fairly often. The local collards are really nice this year, too. I'll make a skillet of jalapeno corn bread, too.

It will be just the two of us; it's been non stop social activities since before our Xmas cocktail party plus our house guests just left today after a week. The sprites will spend NY's eve with us but will be collected in the morning.......and we will be on our own!

We'll be on our own too, at least that's the plan....

We try to reserve New Years Day for just the two of us. Prime rib with au jus, roast potato, caesar salad. Very quiet.

Black eyed peas and cornbread here. And greens, too! A dry Prosecco will probably be involved.

Black-eyed peas and cornbread for sure. All other menu items are up for discussion.

Many of you must live in the south because I don't know what blackeyed peas are. I've heard of them but I don't know why they're different than plain peas. The German tradition around here is sauerkraut but I don't always have it.

Black-eyed peas are a southern tradition, going back to the Civil War. When the Union troops marched through the south, they took all the food. They left the black-eyed peas because they were only fed to livestock. In order to survive, the southerners cooked and ate the black-eyed peas. Eating them on New Year's Day "ensures" that you will not go hungry all year. (Oh, and we love them!!)

Black eyed peas/ field peas. can be fresh, canned, or dried.

I make Turkey for Thanksgiving and Ham for Christmas for everyone. I don't really care for either. New Years Day I get to have my favorite dinner. I buy a really nice Prime Rib and roast it. I always have roasted Brussels Sprouts and a loaded baked potato.

Western pork ribs and sauerkraut in the crock pot overnight, then steamed dumplings on top later.

My friend puts brown sugar on her sauerkraut. Mom never sweetened our kraut so I guess that's why the sugar just doesn't sound good to me. I do like it baked in the oven so it gets nice and brown, but the crock pot does an ok job.

Nothing very traditional here for NY Day. When I cooked for more than just myself New Year's brunch was more of feature than dinner and a breakfast strata was usually on the menu. I may still make a smaller version as I love it and the leftovers are just as good......maybe even better. That with a Bloody Mary are a dandy way to start the new year :-))

I have just returned from a group family Christmas in Mexico where we were wined and dined within in an inch of our lives and so I am feeling a bit over-fooded (if that even makes sense!) and will likely not be making much of an effort for any more big meals for a while. I have a hambone stashed in the freezer so a batch of split pea soup sounds very appealing. Particularly since I came back to a good 50 degree temperature change. Oh, I miss the beach and sun and bathtub temperature water already!!

We don't do New Years DAY, we do New Years Eve. I still need to go to the grocery store, which I dread because of all the snowfall we got last night. The roads are pure H e double hockey sticks. My two boys had to go to work (nobody told my youngest the shop is closed today: probably because they couldn't get there...), and can't get over how many cars slid off the roads or are stuck. Anyway, I need to buy everything to put in a huge pot of chili. Then for dessert, I'm making a ton of Oliebollen.

January 1st, I'm back to eating Keto (high fat, low carb) again.

Tomorrow for New Years eve I will be making a chicken, sausage, tasso gumbo. AND burying the money!

New Years day I will be making a stuffed pork Tenderloin, stuffed with jalapeños and cream cheese. Blackeye peas with diced ham, steamed Cabbage with butter lemon sauce, and a small sweet potato casserole with pecan praline topping. AND digging up the money!

That's the awesome bacon wrapped stuffed pork Tenderloin by La Boucherie. They make wonderful meat products.

The saying that I have always been told is Cabbage and Blackeye peas at the New Year means health and wealth.

We love both so that's a good enough excuse for having them. Lol

On New Year's Eve we have a spread of Pates, antipasto and cheese and crackers served with pickled red cabbage and regular pickles. We eat this at our home usually just with our son.

We will probably have a bunch of seafood for a late lunch on New Year's Day at home. Any shape form or flavor of seafood will suit me just fine. For dessert I'm looking forward to mixed berries with yogurt. DH will want ice cream with his fruit. We will eat a mix of these and other leftovers for our light supper.

DH will want to go out for breakfast to Denny's probably way too early for me but I'll go along because he enjoys it so much. :-).

We used to go for dim sum every regular New Year's Day and Chinese New Year's but I can no longer tolerate the MSG or sugar at all so that is a no-go. I miss all the dim sum dumplings. I really should try to figure out how to make them without using any flour besides rye flour, the only one I can tolerate.

Raven...I looked up your recipe. I'd never heard of stuffing a pork tenderloin with cream cheese and jalapenos. It looks pretty...betting it's delicious!

Hopping John with collard greens and thanks for mentioning corn bread, will cook some up. We are all about beans and greens here, trying to down play breads but it's New Year's!

In laws used to do an open house on New Year's with home made sushi so we will go out for sushi tonight.

Raven, that pork loin recipe looks fabulous!!! Looks to me like everyone will be having great food, no matter what your tastes are!!

Pork roast cooked in krout with kielbasa and hot dogs, whipped potatoes, green beans, homemade applesauce that the boys will make in the tiny crock pot, homemade hot dog buns. I made a two ingredient peanut butter and a chocolate fudge and there's some fruits if anyone wants sweets after dinner. Tonight the kids are being allowed to stay up. We have board games planned and will have a tray of assorted cheese, crackers, grapes, fudge, chips and dip, fresh veggie tray and gingerale. I dig out last years goofy hats and horn blowers .

We will be home with all the electric fireplaces and heaters going and be toasty warm and happy. Both my adult sons will be here for the night tonight, they suggested I get the sleeping bags out and allow the kids to camp out in the family room with them tonight. Fun

I've made a big pot of gumbo with shrimp, crabmeat and sausage and a black-eyed pea salad. I'll make the cornbread tomorrow and probably several apps and dips. Might need to make (or buy) something sweet.

We like turkey anytime. I have a quarter of one thawed so that's what we are having. Plus all the trimmings.

Ham, cabbage salad, cornbread, black eyed peas, and a fruit salad. Just for me!

Fried oysters.

Growing up, we usually had a nice ham dinner. However, I've noticed since we've lived in CA most people have a nice dinner the night before and don't seem to do anything special on New Year's Day. I tried to keep up my childhood tradition but now that it's just the two of us, I guess I don't care anymore. I haven't planned what we're having but I suppose Lucky will be open if I need to buy something.

Crockpot osso bucco with lemon orzo and asparagus. It's cooking now, so I'm heading out for a walk to the beach.

We were at a gathering of my wife's family in Vermont for New Years. I was volunteered to cook dinner on New Year's eve. I wasn't quite sure what to make but the two previous nights there was Jambalaya, then Chicken Enchiladas, I felt I had to go in a different direction. At first I was planning and buying ingredients to make an Irish Beef Stew, for about 25 people, but after getting back to the house from the store and remembering that I had brought a container of the spice blend Ras el Hanout, I decided to change it up and make Moroccan Beef Stew. Whatever that is, :-)

I had purchased about 13 lbs of sirloin roast, plus onions, carrots, parsnips, green peas, and yukon gold potatoes, I decided that the onions, carrots and parsnips would work, but I should not use the potatoes and should instead use sweet potatoes. Fortuitously a nephew had brought a large box of carrots, winter squash, and sweet potatoes from his nearby farm, so i felt I was good to go.

I cubed the meat, and liberally sprinkled it with the spice blend, plus some cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, which were probably in the blend but not enough, and left the meat sit in the walk-in-fridge/unheated garage overnight.

The next afternoon I started cutting up the vegetables, and browning the meat, and started two pots simmering with the meat and onions. After a couple of hours, I also cubed a butternut squash, and roasted it, and then added all of the vegetables to the stew, and cooked it another 45 minutes.

Someone else helped out by making a large rice pilaf, (although couscous would have been a better option) and although I felt the stew wasn't quite thick enough, everyone raved about how good it tasted. After a little more refinement to the recipe I think it will be a real winner.

Bob, your dish sounds divine. Did you make your Ras el Hanout or can you recommend a pre-blended packaged mix?

I happened to be Christmas shopping at World Market, and found the spice blend there. I was slightly disappointed that the blend merely lists it ingredients as: spices, tumeric.

This website seems to be the same product:

https://www.worldmarket.com/product/world+market%C2%AE+ras+el+hanout+spice+bag.do

where the ingredients are listed as:

Made with
cardamom, cumin, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, allspice, dry ginger,
chili peppers, coriander seed, peppercorn, sweet and hot paprika,
fenugreek, and dry turmeric

The family member we were visiting had previously given me a version of the spice blend, (although I forget where it was from) and I feel that the World Market version was not as good as the previous one I had. The World Market version seemed very tumeric-y.

Some of the recipes I've seen for this spice blend sound amazing. I have everything on hand but the fenugreek....I may have to make my own. Your dish just sounds so delicious.

We ended up having brunch, trying a new recipe for waffle iron hashbrowns. They're never crispy enough for us, so that was the appeal of the waffle iron; much better. Worked wonders even! I just wish I had used the mandoline guard and not shredded my thumb. ouch. Still hurts. Belgian waffles, hashbrowns, bacon, orange juice, and milk. Some spiced cider later on.
