NEW YEAR'S DAY CASSEROLE WITH CORNBREAD TOPPING
I got this recipe from our hometown newspaper several years ago. It's a very small, southern town, and this is recipe embodies that spirit. And I renamed it because it contains all the key foods we MUST have on New Year's Day! I've made it quite a few times, and done something slightly different with it each time, so it's easy...

Steps:
- 1. First, please note that under the section where I had to pick a cooking method, I chose "bake" because that's the final step, however this recipe involves mulitple steps and stove top cooking as well. Now, on to the recipe . . . Saute ham in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Gradually add chicken broth and cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes or until broth begins to thicken.
- 2. Bring mixture to a boil and add chopped onion, green peppers, and collard greens; return to boil and cook, stirring often, 15 minutes. Stir in black-eyed peas and crushed red pepper. Spoon hot mixture into a lightly greased 13 x 9 baking dish. Note: I'd use a bigger one because I've NEVER gotten this recipe to fit in a 13 x 9 dish. I always end up using a very large, oval-shaped baking pan that belonged to my grandmother (which probably explains why it always tastes so good).
- 3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F, and combine the corn meal mix, all-purpose flour, and sugar in medium bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Add eggs and buttermilk. Stir just unitl moistened. Pour batter evenly over greens and blac-eyed peas mixture. Bake at 425 for 25 minutes or until cornbread is golden brown and set. It is so delicious that I have to warn to let it cool off at least a little bit before you try a bite. I have burned my tongue on this one more than once. :) Enjoy!
BLONDIES
Blondies are made for those of us that love chocolate chip cookies, but don't have the time or energy to bake tray after tray of scooped sweets. They have all the goodness of a cookie, but they come together in one pot, are baked in one pan and are ready to eat in less than an hour, start to finish. This recipe is a great base for any blondie dream you may have. Use chips or chopped bar chocolate, try butterscotch or white chocolate chunks, stir in nuts, coconut or seeds. If you like your blondies sort of brownielike, follow the recipe as follows. For a chewier, cookielike blondie, reduce the eggs by one.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
- In a medium saucepan combine the butter and sugar, and heat over medium until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat, and whisk vigorously until well combined.
- Let mixture cool for about 10 minutes, then whisk in the eggs, one at a time. Whisk in the vanilla.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and stir to combine. (You might still have some flecks of flour. That's OK.) Stir in 1 1/4 cup of the chocolate. Transfer to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate.
- Bake until the very top looks just set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 18 to 20 minutes. Do not overbake.
- Transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 45 minutes. Lift out using the paper, and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 16 pieces.

These moist and chewy treats couldn't be easier to toss together and are loaded with white chocolate chips, Heath bar bits and pecans. Molasses, just a tablespoon, adds an earthy, deep flavor. If white chocolate isn't your jam, sub in semisweet chocolate chips; a combination of both would not be remiss.

Tips:
- Prepare ingredients in advance: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients measured and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the final dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, organic, and locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense blondie. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the blondies until they are just set: Overbaking the blondies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the blondies cool completely before serving: This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
Conclusion:
These recipes offer a delicious and creative way to celebrate New Year's Day. The blondies are a sweet and decadent treat, while the black-eyed pea casserole is a savory and comforting dish. Both recipes are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So gather your family and friends and enjoy a delicious New Year's Day meal!
