Easy Recipes to Ring in the New Year!

There’s something comforting about the quiet of New Year’s Day. After the rush of the holidays, it feels good to slow down, take a deep breath, and spend time with the people you love most.

For me, this day isn’t about big resolutions. It’s about gathering around the table, catching up with family and friends, and enjoying good food together. The simple things - a warm meal, a shared laugh, a moment to be fully present are what make this day feel special.

Every year, I find myself making the same favorite recipes. Not because of tradition, necessarily, but because they just feel right for the season. A crisp and savory black-eyed pea salad, tender greens with just a little kick, and golden skillet cornbread - all comforting, satisfying, and perfect for sharing. You’ll find all three here:

• Black-Eyed Pea Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing

• Spicy Southern Collards

• Skillet Cornbread

No matter how you celebrate, I hope your new year begins with warmth, connection, and something delicious on your plate. Here's to more moments around the table in 2026.
