    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!

    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.

    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!! ;)

    Fondue is a fabulous idea!

    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 ;)

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    im eating Faux Pasta[Shiritaki Noodles]

    Thanks for listing this new food I've never heard of. I googled it and am going to try some. I'm hopelessly addicted to pasta and it will be nice to have a 0 calorie substitute.
