Almost caught up!!!

My brothers and sisters usually get together sometime after Christmas so there is no conflict with anybody's schedule, etc.  So on January 1 the family came to our house to party!!  This year it was all about food. :)  My sister, Ann, suggested that we all bring a dish that we had never made before but wanted to try.  She had put together a cookbook with all our favorite recipes including those that came from our mother's kitchen so we were going to decide on some new dishes to add to the cookbook! We had a little Cajun including gumbo . . .

dirty rice . . .

jambalaya . . .

as well as a new sausage/cream cheese dip.

My brother got a new rotisserie for Christmas so he made some "rotisserized" roast. 

Britni tried a new recipe of new potatoes with a little sour cream mixture and bacon on top that was really good!!

Of course we had plenty of desserts including chocolate dumplings, red velvet cake, white chocolate covered popcorn, these yummy macaroons and I can't remember what else but I wish I had some of all of it right now!!



Then in case none of the new recipes were worth eating, we made some reliables and of course we had black eyed peas and cabbage to start the year off right!

The press was there to capture all the memories being made.

My amazing family!!
