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

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

    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

    I'm making a batch of lamb meatballs with couscous and yogurt sauce, plus a cheese plate and a chickpea, cucumber, tomato, olive, and feta salad. Couple of types of cookies and apple spice cupcakes for dessert, and several bottles of bubbly for the main event! Tomorrow we're having the traditional ham, black eyed peas, and cabbage for dinner. Probably some rice and gravy as well.

    Well, traditional Pennsylvania Dutch New Year's Dinner...

    Fresh Sourcraut (yicks, I've never written this word, help!) and pork. You cook the pork roast like you would a pot roast, adding the fresh you-know-what midway with some sliced onions and bay leaves. When the pork is falling off the bone tender, you take it out of the you-know -what mixture, remove the fat and bones and then chunk it up. You return the pork to the y-k-w and let it reduce until the y-k-w is brown and sweet. Serve this with greens, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas and apple sauce. Chow chow and shoe-fly-pie if you really want to do it German style. This is for good luck. We are going to have our good luck early!!!

    Happy New Years,
    From, The vegetarian!!!!!

    I made steak stir fry (steak, red potato, red pepper, onion, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, zucchini, and splash of soy). I wanted to get a postive start toward my New Year's Resolutions, which are to continue to improve my eating habits and to be more financially responsible. I eat our entirely way too much which is not very financially responsible on my part. Stir fry is one of the things I will eat as left overs, so hopefully this is a good start toward both resolutions. Hope everyone enjoys their evening!
