New Year's Eve Dessert Suggestions

Here's part 2 of this year’s New Year's Eve party food ideas. I made a list of dessert suggestions you might consider serving on the 31st. If you have a big crowd, I suggest miniature-sized desserts so everyone can try a sampling of all the choices. If your New Year’s Eve plans are more intimate, make one dessert, and make it fabulous!

Festive Meal Suggestions

Here's my favorite festive dish ideas for your holiday feast. Growing up, meat and seafood were always a part of our Christmas celebrations, so I included several red meat and seafood dishes for you to consider. And vegetarians, I haven't forgotten you! Vegetarian cassoulet, for instance, is hearty and packed with protein. And the side dishes will give everyone a healthy dose of carb-y goodness. If you're looking for new ideas for potato dishes, there is still time to order my first cookbook, "Haute Potato". If you order it today through Amazon or Barnes and Noble, it should arrive before Christmas.

Enjoy time with your family and friends, and of course, eat up! Diet resolutions don't go into effect for another ten days!
