The celebrations continue this week, and the new year starts on Saturday. Nicole, Charlotte, and Danna have a couple of recipes to share that will make for a tasty good time.

The ladies wanted to pay tribute to Colombia because Danna is Colombian-American by making Natilla, a Colombian pudding. This luscious dessert is trendy!

Traditions have people making recipes with certain foods during the holidays. A staple for good fortune, black-eyed peas are used in the Cowboy Caviar recipe.

View the YouTube video linked below of the ladies making these delicious dishes.
