new year

The first recorded festivity in honor of the New Year was a long, long time ago. We're talking 4,000 years ago in ancient Babylon.

I love the little extra bit of sparkle during the darkest and coldest season of the year. And honestly, couldn't we all use a bit more sparkle in our lives?

If you love bacon, this will be a good reason to eat a lot more of it this week. Pork is one of the things to eat for good luck in the new year, plus a few other things that the kids might fight you for.

The holiday game in 2020 is #Goals.

Firework stands are opening for the New Years' season.

What else is January 1st for, right?

Sure, champagne and fireworks are cool - but have you ever eaten a whole package of Oreos at midnight on the day before you resolve to eat better and lose weight?

Black-eyed peas are a good luck food that many people eat on New Year's Day, and if you make this dip you can keep the string of luck going for a week or more. With the help of Fritos, which makes it an even bigger win.

It's not just Black-eyed Peas that are supposed to bring us good luck if we eat them on New Year's Day. If you love to grill, throw a pork butt on the smoker too! What else should we eat to have a fantastic 2019?

You would think that the craze would be over by now...

Jack Stallard is a walking inspiration. If you set a resolution to shed some weight this year, this story is one you want to watch.

A few things we need include a dog park with a bar, another Chick Fil A, and a food truck park. What else?
