New Year Meal Plan

Let’s Ring in the New Year with some real food cooking in this New Year Meal Plan!

The week of New Year’s always seems to be just as busy for us as the week of Christmas. We don’t go out on New Year’s Eve to celebrate, but instead stay in and celebrate as a family. We’ll put on one of the New Year’s Eve shows, play games with the kids, and have a Fondue night. That’s been the tradition in our house for a few years. Our fondue nights are easy because you just need to do a little prep and everyone chooses what they like for dinner. This year, it’s a cheese fondue night. You’ll find the recipe below.

 

This week, it’s going to be cold here in Oklahoma City. So that means, plenty of warm comfort food! A New Year’s Week meal plan won’t be complete without Black Eyed Peas. The old saying is you will have one day of good luck for every Black Eyed Pea you eat. So we’ll eat them up with Paprika Chicken and Black Eyed Peas and again with a Black Bean Black Eyed Pea and Corn Salsa with Chicken Tacos. I can’t wait to get cooking!
