Happy New Year my friends!!! New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day is my absolute favorite holiday. I love celebrating and reflecting on the close of one year and starting the next with a new slate. Although every day is a new beginning 😊

2019 was a year of personal growth and adventures thanks to my commitment to my 54 Before 54\. I plan on 2020 being a continuation of all that I discovered in 2019, so on this first day of January I tried two new recipes - vegan black eye peas [https://thewanderlustkitchen.com/vegan-black-eyed-peas/](https://thewanderlustkitchen.com/vegan-black-eyed-peas/?ref=lisaromerodugal.com) and wild rice, cabbage & chickpea pilaf from Forks over Knives, [https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/wild-rice-cabbage-chickpea-pilaf/#gs.p11xyf](https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/wild-rice-cabbage-chickpea-pilaf/?ref=lisaromerodugal.com#gs.p11xyf). So delicious!!!

I had so much fun in the kitchen this morning, my husband busted me dancing while cooking and took a video of me 🙈. (Video posted on my Instagram, lifewithlisa9)

Dessert was a refreshing Apple Pie parfait using homemade apple butter. It was the perfect ending to a delicious meal. Recipe for the parfait is from steph\_on\_ww and apple butter recipe from [http://rachelshealthyplate.com/crockpot-apple-butter/](http://rachelshealthyplate.com/crockpot-apple-butter/?ref=lisaromerodugal.com)

Lisa, the black eye peas remind me of my late mother-in-law. She lived in Maryland, and she was adamant about eating black eye peas on New Year's Day. Thanks for sharing and taking me back a few years.
