New Year's Eve Dips, Appetizers

[Guestabc]

I know, I know we are all sitting by the fire and enjoying our Christmas Food coma........ However New Years Eve is close and we have a tradition of just noshing on Dips and Appetizers, as we don't go out with all the silly people. So share some of your favorite dips and nosh!

This is one we found at Krogers years ago and they don't seem to carry it anymore
( I would post photos, but I have made it twice since Monday and it is all gone, LOL )

I was good with my food intake this Christmas, so I don't mind thinking about New Year's Eve. For us, simply shrimp scampi and perhaps some bacon wrapped scallops are all that's needed.

My favorite dip is cream of tacos...put a block of velveeta cheese, 1 can of rotel, 1 can of chili, and 1 can of ranch style beans in a crockpot and cook until the cheese is melted. Add a tub of sour cream a little before it's time to serve so it's not still cold. Eat with tortilla chips until food coma sets in.

Favorite appetizer is sausage balls. Mix a roll of breakfast sausage (or 4 for a big batch!), some bisquick, and cheddar cheese. Roll up in little balls and cook on 350 until the sausage is done. These are mandatory at any family get together and you can't cook enough.

I am still in baking mode from Christmas. I think I will do some butterscotch cookies,a pecan pie, whipped cream, and some cheesy popovers (probably mozzarella or beer cheese).

New Years has always been black eyed peas and cornbread for as long as I can remember.

Guess it will be the same this year.

Not sure, but New Year’s Day will include kielbasa and kraut.

Bacon wrapped bacon...

A cheese platter is always a winner. Some grapes go well with it.

I quite like a nice pate and maybe a hummus dip.

That’s the way we usually go, tonight we did one hard cheese and one soft cheese with crackers and grapes.
As a warmup for prime boneless
New York’s with smashed roasted fingerlings, salad and a lobster tail. Finishing up ‘17 in really light style

Went with our usual cheese board, three cheeses, Morbier, Bell Creme brie and a Scottish aged cheddar, charcutarie platter, added a fruit tray which we've never done before, that was a winner. A few different dips and spreads, pomegranate jelly and various appetizer. Bowls of nuts and chips, pickle plate, mixed olives, pate, chocolate covered coffee beans... Had five new recipes we'd never done before for our unsuspecting guinea pigs.

A new hummus, eggplant tartare, bacon wrapped bacon, fried halloumu with salsa verde and pickled onion, a smoked salmon brushetta. All from a new book by a local chef who's restaurants we often eat at and we'd also done a class of his a few years ago so we had a pretty good idea what we were getting into.

Happy New Year

Thanks Owen!

I could go for a hot dog or two.

As we were sampling and trying ti figure out how best to do the bacon wrapped bacon my daughter and i both thought they were very reminiscent taste wise, of a hot dog.
