My recipe for Hoppin' John comes from the epicurious.com website. It's under "Hoppin' John with Kielbasa". But instead of kielbasa I use garlic sausage. And I can't wait to start making it for tonight!

Oh, and for the rice I make a garlic basmati rice. I swear I could eat half the Hoppin' John by myself.
