    The usual - hot Hungarian sausage, pork roast, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes.

    Chicken and veggies. And I bought frozen chocolate-covered bananas today.

    I'm going to attempt reverse searing my Christmas gifted beef tenderloin with a cauliflower casserole on the side and lay around in a meat coma until 2015 rolls in.

    My Mum is coming over and we're planning to embark on a DVD marathon whilst chowing down on a Chinese takeaway! Perfect!

    At the minute I'm thinking homemade pizza. I'll let the kids pick their own toppings and make their own. I'll have red onion, tomato, spinach, goats cheese and basil on mine with a drizzle of basil oil mmmmyummy! I was gonna have a few glasses of wine too but over did it last night and right now I can't see me drinking EVER AGAIN

    New Years Eve will be breakfast after church this afternoon.....sausages, bacon, grits, eggs, pancakes, and biscuits. New Years Day will be the traditional collard greens, black eye peas, baked turkey wings.

    We order Indian takeout for NYE. Been doing that the last 6 or 7 years now.

    We're actually having leftovers tonight. New Year's Day is our big food day. I'm from PA where you always have pork with sauerkraut to give the New Year good luck and fortune.
    However I HATE sauerkraut so I'm doing Crockpot pork chops with brown rice and a veggie. It's huge hit with my 2 year old. Happy New Year everyone!

    Today we are eating normal foods like it's any other day. For my family it's a good luck tradition to eat pork, sauerkraut and potatoes on new years day. Locally it's common to eat Pork with pierogies stuffed with potato and sauerkraut.

    It's neat to see what others eat traditionally. Heritage and region really mixes things up.

    Probably just a salad with meat leftovers. I'm DEFINITELY having lunch after dinner, though. That might put me just a bit over calories.

    Our tradition is chili and cornbread to accompany a night of board games and movies on New Years Eve. Black-eyed Peas and Collards on New Years Day. My CSA gave us an enormous blue pumpkin/squash during the final distribution, so this year we are roasting a stuffed squash as the main dish.

    Just nailed some reservations for 9pm at this local wannabe tapas place I like. Only creative thought being applied to cooking on this side of the state, and it's small plates so I like it. Now I just hope I don't have to teach them that it's a crime to drown bourbon in sugar when making an old fashioned...

    Hubby and me are enjoying a quiet night in with our new couch and some movies. One last hoorah before cracking down again: wine, cheese, prosciutto, baguette...or as I like to call it, Lunchables for adults. Happy New Year, everyone!

    We are going to family's and she always makes a big spread. I know I'll go over my calorie goal but will be back at it for the new year. New Year's is only once a year....I think it's okay to indulge a little.

    I'm a kitchen widow (my husband's a chef), so I will be alone until he gets home, and then it's movies and pajama time. Alone for dinner, too, so probably just sweet potato, chicken and avocado. Pity me, and my sad dinner plans.

    For the first time in ever, hubby and I both have to work tomorrow, so we won't be going out and partying our @$$es off. Which means dinner is just gonna be some random leftovers for him and a salad with tuna for me. I could make us fruit smoothies as a treat though. Bananas, strawberries, yogurt, splash of vanilla... hmmm.... yeah I think that's gonna be what we do.

    We always do lobster. I'm thinking broccoli and some red potatoes with rosemary and thyme sounds good. Happy New Year to everyone!!!

    So cool to see how everyone is different. We're going to have leftover cauliflower leek soup, grilled catfish, and broccoli I think. Very light (good thing, considering I had a 900 calories lunch).

    You guys made me hungry for kielbasa and sauerkraut though so that's going in the crockpot soon with some potatoes and beer.
