HollyDay Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 We are once again planning an at home New Year's Eve. I do not like driving out that night. We usually have finger foods/snacky type foods and play board games or watch a dvd. I need some suggestions for food. No one wants meatballs this years. Dh said he is tired of cheeseballs. Dds don't like dips. We are thinking about making homemade pizzas. So, give me some great ideas please for snacky things please......

Denisemomof4 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 we are doing a wing bar (dh and I will have buffalo with blue cheese dipping sauce, we'll have several other types too.... haven't done the recipe search yet... tomorrow is shop day) and I thought we were going to have a baked potato bar with several toppings (chili, cheese, butter, sour cream, chives, and anything else anyone wants) but dh instead is making a Lithuanian dish with potato and meat. We are going to do veggie trays and escargot, but I'm assuming your kids don't want escargot. :lol: And we still have an assortment of goodies that I want GONE so we can start our healthy eating again in Jan. Potato skins are also awesome, and to do them right, they must be home made. Real bacon bits, cheese, onion, sour cream, scallion or chive.

chrissymama Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 We always do fondue on New Years Eve. We always do a cheese fondue with bread and apples and chocolate fondue with berries, bananas, pound cake, marshmallows. Sometimes we also do a meat fondue, but it is a pain in the neck, so we often skip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisIsTheDay Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 We're having another family over. We're having a taco bar, queso dip :ack2:, and a bean dip that's similar to Texas caviar. I'm also making a Sopapilla Cheesecake, and my friend is bringing an appetizer. This all is the snack food; they're coming over way after dinner! Oh, yes, and margaritas.:cheers2: I think they are bringing at least one of their college boys to drive home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Doubt I will even stay up for New Years (am NOT a night owl but a morning person). Do plan to make tamales from scratch after watching Rose Parade and getting homesick for my native S. California! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Kate Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 It will just be the kids and me, so we are ordering pizza and then having chocolate fondue for dessert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 It's fun to do build-your-own-pizzas. We use the homemade pizza dough, but roll one crust out into 6 smaller circles. Everyone chooses their own toppings and bake. We eat cheesecake on New Year's day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeacefulChaos Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 This is actually the first NYE that I'll be keeping the boys up. :) Usually I'm chaperoning our youth lock-in, but it isn't all night this year (the bums! the adults just didn't want to do it bc it's Saturday night and we have church the next day :001_rolleyes: ) so I don't feel like its worth it to get a babysitter for the kids all night when I'd actually only be gone from 7-12:30. If they were having it all night, I would so be there. :) Anyway, I'm just going to do some sweet treats here...marbled treats (graham crackers with semi-sweet and white chocolate melted/swirled on top, refrigerated and then broken apart) and puppy chow. Or whatever you call it. :) I think we'll play board games after DD goes to bed, and turn on the tv to see the ball drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Bump :) Dh and I are kidless this evening, and are trying to plan our own menu. So far I'm thinking mushrooms in garlic and wine, pasta, maybe some fish...but I just don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeBlessings Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Pork roast cooked slow with cabbage, diced apples, and honey. I would usually cook mashed potatoes with this, but I'm on the Specific Carb Diet and can't have them so I may not. I'm sure the rest of the family would still love to have them though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our bil and sil sent a goody tower from Harry & David so we'll be breaking into that. One box an hour until midnight. The kids can't wait!
