Cheers to a New Year’s Eve Party


*Horns Blowing* Confetti flying through the air, landing in your hair, on the floor, in your drink ; ) Then before you know it the clock strikes MIDNIGHT, you’re dodging party horns and the crowd screams Happy NEW YEAR! Well not quite but almost!

I love New Year’s Eve. It’s a time to reflect on the year we’ve had and to dream about the year to come. It’s a time to gather. To eat, drink and be merry! Whether you’re hosting an intimate event with just a few friends and family or a lavish to do with the entire neighborhood {it could happen}, here are a few suggestions of our tried and true recipes for a few luscious libations and tasty treats that you can whip up in no time flat.

Cheers! Salute! Bottoms up ; )

Bellini Surgelato {Frozen Peach Bellini}
Cham-Pom Spritzer
Champagne Slushi

And a few tasty treats to tempt your palate…

Datteri Ripieni {Cheese Stuffed Dates with Prosciutto}
Olive Fritte {Fried Olives Stuffed with Cheese and Herbs}
Peperoni Croccanti {Crispy Bell Peppers Stuffed with Herbs}
Baci! Auguri a tutti! Here’s to an extraordinary 2011!

    Happy New Years Paula!
    Dates and prosciutto are a great idea. I just tried to do a bread with walnuts and dates and cookies with dates and chocolate. I need that idea for appetizer.

    Happy New Year! Those drinks and apps look so delicious! Bacon wrapped prunes ran in my family. Have a good one.
