Here's another new year's day good luck recipe, but my husband likes it at anytime of the year.

Ham & Beans

1 pound of navy beans
2 smoked ham hocks
1 quart of chicken broth
1-2 thick slices of onion
1 garlic clove, chopped

In a large bowl of water, soak the beans over night at room temperature. Next morning, drain the beans. Place drained beans in a crock-pot and add the ham hocks, chicken broth, and onion & garlic. Cover and cook on low for about 5 hours, or until beans are tender. If salt is needed, salt beans at this point. Serve with hot buttered corn bread. Deeee-lish!
