Are you hosting a New Year’s Eve party or attending one?  Here are some of my favorite appetizers for the gathering!

Bacon Wrapped Shrimp with Dipping Sauce will disappear quickly!

Baked Cheese and Pesto is easy to make – but looks difficult.  It will bring raves!

For a bit of fanciness try this Fresh Herb Fondue.

Need more fanciful food?  This Brie en Croute is incredible!

You can never go wrong with potato chips.  This easy Bacon Horseradish Dip is amazing!  And also great for veggies.

Need fancy drinks?

Try this martini with Buttershots, Tuaca and Irish Cream.  It’s delish.  For a festive champagne drink you can’t go wrong with Ruby Sippers.

For the Morning After

Here are some make ahead breakfasts for easy preparation:

There isn’t much easier than a casserole.  This Breakfast Brunch Casserole is great no matter when you roll out of bed.

Crepes can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days.

This Baked French Toast can be served with raspberry sauce- or any other topping!

Pumpkin French Toast is one of our family favorites!

Have a fun and safe New Year!  See you in 2010!
