New Year's Eve Recipes

H A P P Y   N E W   Y E AR !!!

Celebrate good times, come on!

Nobody wants crappy food to celebrate the changing of the year.

Check out my favorite New Year's Eve recipes here for appetizers, soups, salads, side dishes, and main dishes.

These are some of my favorite recipes to ring in the New Year:

  • Cannellini Beans with Kale Pesto - In the south, black eyed pea soup is traditionally served to represent good luck.  The greens in it represent money.  This is a twist on that bean recipe
  • Easy Whole Beef Tenderloin - easy, pricey, always goes over well (unless you're vegetarian)
  • Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms - award winning New Years Eve Appetizer.
  • Buttery Shrimp with Worcestershire Sauce - dreamy and tangy and creamy shrimp to bring in the New Year
  • Simple Seared Scallops - Scallops are always a level up dish that people love.
