{new year's ideas}

 I love a reason for a good party, and New Year's Eve is one of the best! It's the best night to stay up late with friends and family, eat yummy food, and ring in the new year!

Here are a few celebration ideas that I found and love...

 My roots are Southern, and I grew up knowing that eating black-eyed peas on  New Year's is supposed to give you a year of good luck and prosperity, so I couldn't resist adding a couple of recipes with black eyed peas in them.  Yum!
