Cajun Delights
With 2010 coming to an end, I am planning on hosting a New Year's Day brunch buffet for my family and friends. It will be quite a spread and packed with delectable Cajun and Creole favorites, with plenty of black eye peas for good luck, and Bloody Mary's for those still feeling the effects of their New Year's Eve celebration. Bon Appetit and Happy New Year!
And if you're wondering what to do with that ham bone in the freezer from Christmas dinner, here's a way to use it for your New Year's celebration. Cajun tradition has it that if you eat black eyed peas and cabbage on New Year's Day, you will have good luck all year! Here's an easy, delicious recipe for slow cooker black-eyed peas that will have you adding this fabulous dish to your table at any time of year! Le bon manger'!
Slow Cooker "Good Luck" Black-Eyed Peas
1 pound dried black-eyed peas 1 tbs. vegetable oil 1 large red onion, chopped 1/2 cup each, red and green bell peppers, and celery 2 tsp.'s minced garlic 1 can diced Ro-tel tomatoes w/ green chilies 1 quart water, (more, if needed)1 tsp. dried thyme 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tbs. Cajun seasoning Few good shakes Tabasco 1 tbs. Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp. yellow mustard 1 cup ham, chopped 1 ham bone, (with some meat left on) 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup green onions, tops included, sliced
Saute the onions, bell peppers, celery, and garlic, in the vegetable oil, until soft. (about 10 minutes) Combine all ingredients in slow cooker, except the parsley and green onions, and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low, for 7 to 8 hours. Remove ham bone and add the parsley and green onions in the last 30 minutes, stir well, and maybe add a little more hot sauce. Cest bon, cher!
New Year's Bayou BoogieBack by popular demand, here's a little clip of Andre Thierry and Zydeco Magic that will get you in party mode to ring in the new year! A little Zydeco for those of you who may be snowed in or otherwise can't get out to celebrate. Grab a glass of champagne and crank it up cher, and let the good times roll! Out with the old and in with the new!
Wishing you all a very happy, healthy, and prosperous new year, filled with good times!
Merci beaucoup for coming by and for all of your lovely comments!
Happy 2011, Ya'll! Lassiez les bon temps rouler, cher!Cheers mon amis! Posted by Marguerite at 4:32 PM

Sounds like another great spread on your buffet table. I'm sure a good time was had by all.
I passed through Lafayette at lunchtime on New Year's Eve and had a quick meal at Prejean's. My wife was afraid they would put alligator in the food so she opted for baked potato and a salad and I could not persuade her otherwise.
At least I had my oyster Po'boy (delicious) and some spicy gumbo with duck and andouille sausage.
Hello Marguerite my beautiful Cajun friend. I'm back to blogging (well, a little anyway) and wanted you to know you are one of the few blogs on my new blog roll. You are a favorite and I love you so much. And have missed you! Please swing by http://boozytooth.blogspot.com sometime and say hello!

Kathryn Magendie said.Happy New Year! - Just made my cornbread - GMR's preparing black eyed pea fritters! and we're sauteeing the cabbage -- :-D
GYPSYWOMAN said.wishin' you and yours a new year filled with delicious food and drink and then, there's all that music and dancin'. wishing you all of that and even more peace love and light.
Velva said.Wishing you and your family a safe, happy New Year.
Your food spread for new Year's brunch is awesome. I do have a ham bone in my freezer and dry black eye peas. I think I will make your recipe. Growing-up, making black eye peas for New Year's was unheard of and now, I am feeling like I am missing out on something really good.
Kat said.I am looking forward to another year of Cajun music and food! Oh, how I wish I were your neighbor!! You can cook, and like someone else said, you should have your own cooking show. I hope your new year is the best yet. Love.
Drick said.another fine menu, your friends sure are lucky, why they really don't need the peas now do they. always have them on New Year's day along with greens for prosperity and rice for success and so on - oh, all the things we do to ensure a good year - best wishes to the start of 2011
California Girl said.Happy New Year Marguerite. I bet it was a blast in the bayou!!
Velva said.I am checking back in with you to let you know that I made your slow cooker black-eyed peas, Cajun style. They were awesome! Thanks for another great recipe.
Shammickite said.Happy New Year to you and your family Marguerite, your new Year's buffet looks scruptious, wish i could be there to enjoy it with you and your friends!
T. said.I didn't make black-eyed peas, but I did make gumbo, a recipe gleaned from your treasure trove of Southern recipes on your sidebar!
One question: how big is your kitchen staff.
Marguerite said.SBo- Hi and welcome to Cajun country! I'm delighted that you stopped by! Merci beaucoup and a Happy New Years to you, too, cher! Cheers!
ellen- Thanks, one of these days, you'll just have to drive over here and join us! Happy 2011! Merci for stopping by!
Pooch- Sorry I am so late in answering your question. I see from your other comment that you found it! Thanks for trying it! Hope you have a great New Year, cher!
Trish- Thanks, glad you liked the spread! It's always a good idea to eat first! lol Happy 2011! Should be a great year!

P.S. your black-eyed pea recipe.
Delightful is putting it mildly!

What sets the Magic Bullet blending set apart from other blenders is its unique design. Unlike traditional blenders with a large pitcher, this appliance features a tall and narrow cup that fits directly onto the base. This allows for more efficient blending as the ingredients are pushed towards the blades. The Magic Bullet blending set is incredibly easy to use. Simply place your ingredients into the cup, attach the desired blade, and twist the cup onto the base. With just a press of a button, the powerful motor will blend your ingredients to the desired consistency. After blending, you can switch out the blade for a lid and store your creations in the fridge, eliminating the need for additional containers. Overall, the Magic Bullet blending set is a versatile and convenient kitchen appliance that can handle a variety of tasks. Its compact size, interchangeable cups, and easy-to-use design make it perfect for anyone looking to simplify their kitchen routine. Whether you're blending smoothies, creating sauces, or grinding spices, the Magic Bullet blending set is sure to become your go-to kitchen companion..
Reviews for "The Magic Bullet Blending Set: Small in Size, Big in Performance"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to try the Magic Bullet blending set after hearing so many great things about it, but I was ultimately disappointed. The motor seemed weak and struggled when blending even simple things like smoothies. Additionally, the containers were not as durable as I had hoped and I ended up with cracks in them after just a few uses. Overall, I found the Magic Bullet to be overhyped and not worth the investment.
2. John - 1 star - The Magic Bullet blending set was a complete letdown for me. First of all, the blender blades were not sharp enough and I found myself having to blend things for much longer than necessary just to get them smooth. Secondly, the noise level was unbearable - it sounded like a mini jackhammer in my kitchen! Lastly, the plastic containers stained easily and were difficult to clean thoroughly. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient blender.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Magic Bullet blending set, but unfortunately, it fell short in many areas. The motor was not powerful enough to handle tough ingredients like ice or frozen fruits, which resulted in chunky and uneven smoothies. The containers were also quite small, making it difficult to make larger batches or share with others. Additionally, the blender seemed to overheat quickly, which made me question its durability. Overall, I was disappointed with the performance and functionality of the Magic Bullet.
4. Mike - 2 stars - The Magic Bullet blending set did not live up to my expectations. Firstly, the blender struggled with even basic tasks like crushing ice or blending soft fruits, resulting in lumpy and inconsistent textures. Secondly, the containers were not leak-proof, so I constantly had to worry about spills and messes. Lastly, the blender had limited speed options, which made it difficult to achieve the desired consistency in my recipes. I regret purchasing the Magic Bullet and would not recommend it to others.
