Happy New Year!..in March..

as noted by many of my friends i have not been very good about updating my blog so I thought i would start now in March. The next few blog posts will be quick updates with a few pics of the last couple of months and then i will be all caught up and it will look like it never happened. whatevs..

well since we're on january now, my husband insists on black eyed peas on new years day. being from a south american family, i never had that tradition, but have embraced it being married to an oklahoma boy. over the years he's perfected his recipe to make it an actual meal and one that i look forward to.





1/2 quart of chicken stock
1 can of black eyed peas or fresh black eyed peas (fresh have a different cooking method - check googs for cooking method)
1 shallot
1 clove of minced garlic
1 tbsp of tabasco
pinch of salt and pepper
2 andouille sausages, scored (or any sausage of your choice)
2 cups of cooked rice (we used a quick cooking rice)

black eyed peas, chicken stock, tabasco, shallot, garlic, salt and pepper in a sauce pan. andouille in 10" frying pan scored side down until cooked. serve sausage over beans over rice. delish. thanks to P for introducing me to this good luck in the new year recipe.
