Hoppin Juan

My grandma always made Hoppin' John on New Year’s Day when I was growing up in Virginia. I now live in New Mexico and decided to put a hot Southwestern spin on the recipe this year, hence the name. It’s simple and tasty, and has some heat. I only added two jalapenos, but you could add more if you like it hotter. If you don’t like hot food, you might want to eliminate the jalapenos completely. My husband and I both loved it.

Step: 1

Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat; cook and stir onion, red bell pepper, jalapeno peppers, and garlic in hot butter until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir cooked rice, black-eyed peas, diced tomatoes with habanero peppers, bacon, salt, and black pepper into vegetables. Cook for 10 minutes to blend flavors, stirring frequently.

Avoidance on late-night snacking and cravings , it is much necessary to include some easy foods (or what one may perceive as off limits ). Meaning , if we always order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really will the junk food and should have just pleased it in the first place."

Because it comes to eat on evening , much eat or eating too much of the bad item of food can lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the flip side, a daylight food that is not eating to much food than satiating not make leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an eat bad food late-night snack even closer to sleep .
