New Year's Eve Dinner

[kwg]

What is everyone having? We are having a couple plus 2 kids over and I am getting nervous :tongue_smilie: and feeling uninspired.

 

Would love to hear ideas- we don't eat chicken of beef often; fish is fine though .

Would love to hear ideas- no meat or fish only though.

 

Baked potato bar for the kiddos (done in the crockpot)

 

Steaks on the grill for the adults. :) Kids can have steaks too but usually they have a blast decorating and eating their potatoes.

 

We'll watch the ball drop in NY and then turn in early at 11 p.m. :)

We're just going to do appetizer type stuff. Bacon wrapped scallops are definitely on the list :D Not sure yet what else!

[kwg]

They both sound good! Maybe I should serve meat....I think both guests eat it..just not hubby. :lol:

Steak and salad, bread. Some kind of a chocolate tortey-kind of dessert (if I get the gumption up and get away from the computer to get something done that is...)

We always do finger food and call it our junk food night. I serve my family food like chicken wings, shrimp, cheese and crackers.

We're going to order Chinese food and watch Despicable Me on DVD. It will be a wild and crazy night! :001_smile:

I'm thinking nachos, all decked out in beans, tomatoes, olives, etc. We do it about once a month. Dh and kids love it, and it's a fun, sit-on-the-floor-together type meal. I assemble it all on a baking sheet and heat it through. We all sit in the living room and dig in.

and then to bed early!

We're going to my brothers. SIL is doing Mexican----taco bar, rice, beans. Easy and relatively inexpensive.

[newbie]

Chinese here too.

Cheeseburger soup and beer bread that was posted in a thread about soup earlier this month. I thought my family would love it!

We do Hoppin' John New Year's Eve. I get sparkling apple cider for the children (sparkling wine for us) and I have some cordial glasses that look like mini wine glasses and the children drink from them, they look forward to it all year LOL. I know Black Eyed Peas are supposed to be for the day, but we set out appetizers and finger foods so I can watch football all day on the first [grin]
