🥂 Must-Make Recipes for NYE + New Year's Day! 💖


Hi Reader!

Hard to believe another year is coming to a close! 💥

Whether you're ringing in the New Year at home or celebrating at a party with family and/or friends, the evening is always more festive when there are delectable (and easy!) party appetizers, dips, desserts, and drinks to enjoy! 🎉 🥂

Our family always enjoys a New Year's Eve spread of appetizers, a cheese board, some sweet treats, and fun drinks all evening. 🥳 So I've assembled all of my best cocktails, mocktails, snacks, and sweets into a handy collection for you to reference any time you're entertaining or need something yummy to bring to a party...on NYE or throughout the year! ⤵️

Recipes for a Rockin' New Year's Eve
If you’re in search of New Year’s Eve recipes, look no further! These easy and delicious new year party food recipes range from cocktails and mocktails to appetizers and desserts!

And on January 1st itself, we always look forward to eating The BEST Black-Eyed Peas for luck and prosperity in the New Year!

I'm not typically a fan of black-eyed peas, but this savory soup is loaded with FLAVOR and something I genuinely look forward to every year!

The BEST Black-Eyed Peas for New Year's Day
This savory, delicious soup is flavored with bacon, garlic, and thyme for a recipe that's said to bring luck and prosperity throughout the coming year when eaten on New Year's Day!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The BEST EVER! When I told my husband we were having black-eyed peas for New Year’s Day, he turned up his nose with the, “I don’t like black-eyed peas, they taste like dirt.” One bite of these and he changed his tune. I got a “yummy” sound with most every bite. No longer will the black-eyed pea be relegated to one meal a year. This was the first time I made these and I followed the recipe. I don’t think I would change a thing." ~Samalee

Hope your final days of the year are happy, cozy, and warm! ✨❤️
