We've been looking forward to our February soul food menus for awhile now!Our menu for tonight was smoked ham, Hoppin John (thanks for the recipe, Tammy), coleslaw, and biscuits.
We made everything from scratch. The ham was a hit with everyone. Bryan made the Hoppin John and it was our first experience with black eye peas (seriously - I didn't know where to look for them in the grocery store!) It turned out good - everyone tried it and Brett ate most of his. The kids were not crazy about the coleslaw but they all tried it and Lydia ate the carrots and raisins out of it. I don't make biscuits from scratch very often and wasn't paying very close attention to the recipe. I put in baking soda instead of powder and everyone agreed they were awful!
Whoo Hoo!
ReplyDeleteSuch a good idea for the month of February. Glad the hoppin john turned out. Too bad on the biscuits. I've made that mistake too with cookies.
