What's for Dinner, Mon., Jan. 1, 2023, New Year's Day

[NJCher]

Butternut squash soup. Not happy with this soup and am doctoring it up. Might have to engage the consultation services of the RG because nothing I've done so far makes it any better.

Zucchini bake: It also has scallion, garlic, lotsa' basil, mozzarella, and parmesan.

Now, dessert: My neighbor just dropped by with a few boxes of Belgium chocolates. Yum. I have had no sweets so far this holiday season. But I am planning on a dark chocolate truffle filling and an ameretto cream. Only 140 calories but who knows how bad the blood sugar will zoom.

My neighbor was all dressed up for Christmas: Christmas hat, scarf, etc., but the dog was the best. The dog, a furry white little charmer with a vigorous tail wag, had on a hand knitted coat (I assure you my neighbor, a therapist, did not knit it) that was red, white and green. Also a bow. Crazy happy to be out seeing the neighbors. Dogs: just so much fun.

2. The zucchini bake and dessert sound fabulous. The dog sounds adorable.

Dinner is simple: pate, brie, baguette, cornichons, and sparkling wine.

Have a Happy, and delicious, New Year.

5. Nice!

Had hoped to find pate & other interesting things for NYEve but didn't, so NYEve was boring, and no interesting leftovers. May open small bottle of prosecco if/when daughter & son in law visit.

11. I am most fortunate in that my King Soopers, Costco and Trader Joe's all

carry very nice pates. And I can make a pretty decent one myself. And Prosecco is always in order!

12. Lucky!

I frequent 1 regional grocery store, and they had better varieties prior to covid. Trader Joe nowhere near, is close to friend's place which I visited occasionally years ago, but I'm now staying home (because I prefer to do so!)

3. Grilled ribeye steak, baked sweet potato

and green beans.

[Callalily]

4. Coq au vin, brown basmati rice,

Leftover black eyed pea salad from yesterday's good luck dinner!

6. Red beans and rice

with Swiss Chard for cooked greens (olive oil, garlic and pepper flakes). A little blue cheese for DH and brie for me as an appetizer.

Keeping it simple. The beans and rice are a big batch, so some beans will end up canned for future working-late meals.

7. I've got a rump roast tendering up in the slow cooking oven,

along with potatoes and carrots and onions. Add in a heaping bowl of Hopping John, and I'll call our New Years Day good. Anything for good luck this year! (LOL)

8. black eyed peas and ham, collard greens, and cornbread

Our usual New Years dinner.

9. 15 bean soup with cornbread. I didn't have any blackeyed peas except

what ever is in that soup.

I used my new Insta-Pot to cook it and it turned out just fine.

10. Nothing traditional here - we had a low-country boil w/shrimp, corn, potatoes and sausage. Berry cobbler for dessert.
