new years goodies

[ChristmasCheerSpredr]

So what special thing are you making to take to a New years party? We are hosting again this year, our friends and their kids, the kids have a pj party of their own and the adults play games. Last year, the kids told us to be quiet (that was funny!). It seems to work out really good for all of us. there will be about thirty of us this year.

anyhoo- was wondering what you were making for the holiday, we are doing potluck with us providing the meat, dh is smoking some pork roasts for pulled pork, I made caramel corn tonight to munch on, and a cherry almond dip also. Will make up people chow as well.

Well, let's see ... I'm making some black-eyed pea salsa and some regular salsa. Fresh salsa is yummy! Just whiz it up in my food processor. Hmmm ... I'm liking the cornedbeef and cabbage idea!

I wish that we had somewhere to go for New Year's....wait...maybe not...it has been snowing almost everyday since Christmas EVE!

So...we are cuddled up at home!

New Year's Eve...DH is making his world famous Gumbo! I can't wait! HE has not made this for two years.

We are staying home and taking it easy for NYE. We had a wedding to attend yesterday and a gift opening today so needless to say it's been a whirlwind week. Did we really host Christmas less than a week ago?

For NYE, nothing specific is planned.

For NYD supper, we are going to my ILs. My MIL is making a turkey. Yummy! I'm taking dessert but can't decide what to make. It's going to be very casual. Sugared cranberries are a nice afternoon treat. I could just make those, but I'll probably take something else too. There will only be 5 adults and 3 children (6.5y, 3.5y, 9m). :snow:

Sucre à la crème is a fudge or candy. One recipe I found said it just used white sugar, brown sugar and cream. Sounds good to me. I may have to try this.

:happynewyear: We had 26 on our list of people coming over, then it dwindled to 15 of us due to flu ect. Our menu changed a bit due to this. We did still have smoked pulled pork that dh did, I whipped up taco salad when I found out only one side dish was coming due to illness, so we had that, party potatoes, and every kind of dessert and candy imanginable. :heartsNY:

Our mini Thanksgiving dinner went well!!! My gravy was great again, I am sooo becoming a gravy expert!!!

For tonight I have the corned beef and cabbage already in the crockpot, we have some leftover turkey breast still from last night and some leftover sides.

I just picked up some potatoes (Red and Yukon) so I can boil and bake them!!

I picked up the "predesigned" snowman sugar cookies from Pillsbury at the grocery store today. They were on clearance for $1.50 and there was a coupon machine with $1.00 off 2 so I bought 2 and paid $1 each for them-Can't beat that!!!

Plus I didn't get a chance to make Pistachio Pie for Christmas and have all the ingredients so I will probably make that today also!!!

Have a MAGICAL New Year!!!!
