Black-Eyed Pea Ribollita
Ribollita is a Tuscan bread soup that is traditionally made from the previous day with stale bread and leftover vegetables. I made this Black-Eyed Pea Ribollita for New Year's eve. Eating black-eyed peas is meant to bring good luck for the year, and I think we could all use some. This soup is outstanding and I will be making it again. You can use any kind of beans, like cannellini beans, which are often used in Tuscan dishes.

Yellow Eye Bean Soup
These Yellow Eye Beans are from Rancho Gordo. They are amazing heirloom bean producers located in Napa, California. I decided to make this rustic Yellow Eye Bean Soup from The New York Times. These beans are absolutely incredible, and very creamy inside. These beans are rich, creamy, and mild and are traditionally used for New England style baked beans. There is nothing better on a cold night than to have rustic bean soup with some crusty bread.

This Corned Beef Casserole has layers of potatoes, corned beef, thinly sliced shallots, brussels sprouts and I topped it off with some Irish cheddar cheese.

I made this Lemony Shrimp Risotto in my Instant Pot, but have also included the stovetop instructions. I have to say, I love making risotto in the Instant Pot because it's fast and you don't have to stand there and stir it. The lemon adds a bright and tangy note to the shrimp.
