I'm sure everyone is rested from cooking the big meal yesterday,I had planned on having 19 people for dinner.I got up early and started to cook at 6 so everything would be ready.I did start my blackeyed peas in the slow cooker before I went to bed.
The first thing I did was make a carrot cake and that way no heavy feet would make it
fall,
Then I made cream cheese icing,also pumkin pies
We had a great meal and I had help from my son in law and my grand son.I will not bore you with all of the talk,but all picked in and I did not get to tired or have to take any extra meds so it was a great day all around.

this is sweet pea salad,if you like sweet peas you will love this.

No southern meal on News Years is without fatback fried or in beans.

collards I froze this year so I would not have to work as hard to day.
smoked ham all I had to do was warm it for a few hours at 325 and was done with it.

They raided the food befor I got a good picture.
We had a great day and I wanted to share with my gather family part of my day.
