    All of this food sounds amazing! For me, I'll be having mac and cheese, potato wedges, and buttered green peas and corn.

    We are doing a fondue too!

    Protein packed: steak, meatballs, chicken breast, prawns, and jumbo scallops.

    With a big green salad and garlic toast ... and champagne at midnight :)

    We are having frozen pizza (Tombstone was on sale). Then there will be finger-type food throughout the evening. The kids wanted potato skins so I got some of those and the Smart Ones Potatoes w/cheese & broccoli for me! :laugh: We also have fresh veggies, Texas Caviar (not with canned beans!), and cheese & pepperoni tray.

    Oh and the pizza was a Meal Deal at our grocery store. Buy 2 Tombstones and get cheese sticks or garlic bread, 2ltr soda, Pepperidge Farms cake, and TGI Friday frozen app (hence potato skins) for FREE!

    Sparkling white grape juice is also on tap for our toast later!

    Dang I need to talk a walk to burn some of this stuff off!

    Tomorrow we will have a pork roast with beans. I was thinking of corned beef and cabbage but then I thought better of it. LOL

    I have to work until 8pm and will be enjoying a Fettucini Alfredo w/broccoli Smart Ones meal. :) When I get home to my sweetheart, we will have a few snacks (not sure which ones, apparently it's a surprise until I get home) and toasting to a fresh year with a glass of Reisling. :) Happy New Year all!! :)

    Well...here in Georgia, we have a Peas and Greens tradition. We eat black eyed peas and collards (or turnips) to "bring wealth". Yumms. My mom makes THE BEST peas and greens, so we go down to her house. Best thing about it is I can pig out and it is not really a big deal!! I LOVE me some collards w/ hot sauce. She is also cooking a ham. I am taking a home made spinach and artichoke dip (skinnified) and chocolate cake (which I DO NOT like..ick...so it won't be a temptation).

    I start South Beach, phase 1, tomorrow.

    Being from the south I plan on cooking a southern meal tweaked some so that the cals don't get too out of hand


    Fresh collards and turnip greens cooked with a smoked turkey wing(seasoning), Purple hull peas cooked with a smoked turkey wing (seasoning) and cornbread... Not to forget the smoked turkey wings ;)

    Ditto I'll be doing the same except I'll be making country pork ribs also..

    I had friends down from mainland Australia, so I decided to treat them to a Tasmanian-centric feast using fresh produce from this lovely little island - cheeses, salmon, lamb, bush pepper, vegetables and raspberries. Oh and wines from our friends' vineyard down the road...

    Starters - Platter: smoked salmon, chorizo, brie, antipasto, wasabi cheese, grape tomatoes, pickles, capers, olive dip, hommus, baby beets dip, flat bread & multigrain rice crackers. Served with Moores Hill Pinot Gris and Boags Pure.

    Main - Slow cooked lamb shanks in wine, garlic, bush pepper, chicken stock, rosemary & thyme with carrots and sweet potato mash. Served with Moores Hill Pinot Noir.

    Dessert - Raspberry pavlova. Pavlova covered in passionfruit creme fraiche & fresh raspberries.
    Was to be served with Moores Hill Sparkling.... however we were all so full we've saved dessert for New Years Day! :)

    From an Alabama girl living in Baltimore -
    Country fried steak and gravy, collards, black eyed peas and cornbread. We don't eat like this anymore, but my husband requested the steak and gravy and cornbread as a special treat to end the year.

    Yum was it good.

    Pork and saurkraut in the crock pot. The calories end up being 300 calories for 1 cup saurkraut and 5 oz of pork loin. It is all done in tomatoes and some brown sugar. We have this about once a month. 135 lbs lost so far
