We're grazing on side dishes, lol. We've discovered that being three girls and no longer a larger family, we can't have everything we loved to make for Christmas Dinner and NYE, so we split all the fun stuff up between Christmas Eve & day and NYE and day. We'll have cottage cheese with pineapple, chilled shrimp, some kind of a cheesey thing (haven't decided which, yet), pickles, spinach dip......whatever my daughter says we haven't done yet and still have ingredients for!0

For the past 15-20 years, we stay home, watch the ball drop with fondue for dinner and homemade bean dip for late night snack.
Very Boring -- We do not drink when people will be drinking or on holidays.0 -
Generally when we stay home I make finger foods and we graze through the night.....devilled eggs, sliced mozzarella w/ tomatos and roaster red peppers....still haven't decided what to do this evening.
And now I've added Sausage Balls to the menu, but before all that a nice big salad!!0 -

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 wings0 -

This has given me a great idea because we are big salad eaters but sometimes want to "graze" for the night and I hadn't thought on salad nights to also fix a lil finger food to go with it..
THANX!0 -
Finger Foods is whats on the table, but im eating Faux Pasta[Shiritaki Noodles] & some Calamari[not fried!] & some salad, no dressing, chicken wings and stuff like that. Not such a bad eating day considering all ive had so far was 400 calories!0

I am serving twelve at home. I am making roast pork tenderloin http://allrecipes.com/recipe/rosemary-roasted-pork-tenderloin/
and marinated salmon http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Marinated-Wild-Salmon/Detail.aspx for the meat dishes.
For sides, I will do a mixed green salad, roasted brussels sprouts and oven baked potato medallions. Maybe a risotto too. I think I picked all these because they all had some lucky componet - fish, pork, greens, rice and for the potatoes, I am making them shaped like coins, so I count those as lucky food too!0 -
I'm having marinated grilled pork chops, steamed broccoli and sweet potato fries. I'm not a cabbage person so I'm making some turkey chili for tomorrow so if I'm hungry later on I'll have a bowl of that for an evening snack.
The marinade I use is really simple; 2 parts olive oil, 2 parts vinegar, 1 part adobo seasoning (most of the time found with the hispanic foods). It's fantastic on grilled chicken and pork.0 -
I want to come over if you are doing fondue! LOL
Today is actually hubby's birthday and he HATES fondue so we are doing homemade potato soup. Put it in the crock pot this morning and I will eat my 1 large serving for about 500 cals and he will be eating on it all night! Enjoy and Happy New Year!0 -
YUMeverything sounds so good, have a great new years....we are just staying home watching a bunch of old movies with the kids and ordering papa murphys they have lite pizzas with thin crust and less cheese that is really good for a lot less calories. the kids dont like it as well but we will get one regular crust and one thin lite pizza......0
