No Croutons Required - The Winner for December and the Theme for January

Happy New Year to all my readers, friends and family. The challenge for December was to submit a festive photo. The winning entry this month from Ruth of Makey-Cakey is this lovely photo of a Snowy Hawick. Congratulations Ruth.

I will be hosting the January edition of No Croutons Required. The challenge this month is to come up with a soup or salad featuring Black-Eyed Peas. This popular legume is thought to bring good luck and prosperity if served for New Year's dinner, especially along with collard greens. I will except submissions until the 20th of the month.
