What stage of life are you in right now?

  • Bar/Club hopping – do you bounce from place to place to ring in the new year
  • Party at home – do you prefer to celebrate at home or at a friend’s house
  • Stay home and chill – you and the family, some food, and watching it all on tv

I’m a mix of the 2nd and 3rd options now. I much prefer a smaller gathering of just a few close friends, some amazing food and drinks with the tv/music on in the background. And a bedtime of no later than 2 am. Please, this lady is too old to hang the late hours.

Below I’ve put together some of my (and your) favorite foods to serve on New Year’s Eve and day!
