Holiday Traditions

I know technically New Years Eve isn't an actually holiday, but by gum we all celebrate it. In my family we have a tradition. Every year on New Years Eve, my dad makes Fejoada, a traditional Brasilian dish consisting of black beans, sausage, and roast beef; seasoned with onions, peppers, and garlic; and served over rice. It's a more complex for of the traditional black beans and rice. I love this dish, it keeps me in touch with my Brasilian roots. I plan on learning the recipe and continuing the tradition once I start my own family.
