New Years Eve Party

 
Happy New Year! Where did the year go? It seems like it was just yesterday we were ringing in a New Year with a New Years Eve Party… It’s been an extremely full year for us, I don’t know about you but I always found New Years Eve kind of sad like you are saying goodbye to an old friend. We’ve made some great memories this year from trips abroad to hiking to waterfalls, to trying new things and catching up with old friends.

The New Years Eve party theme this year is time and metallics. You can’t have a New Years Eve Party without having a time centerpiece to show the passing of the old year and the ringing in of the new year.! We wanted to keep it sparkly and elegant. We covered our dining table with a black tablecloth, added candelabras, silver candlesticks and mirrored cones, a vase of gold and silver ornaments and a clock face take center stage this year.

We added a touch of greenery to add a splash of color like we did in our Christmas tablescape. You can use fresh greens or sprigs of faux evergreen branches.

We scattered crystals here and there around the table to tie in the candelabras ( I actually stole these from my Christmas tree).

We used a collection of silver trays as chargers beneath these beautiful star bone-china plates. These are not matching chargers but ones we have collected over the years. You can purchase them all together to match but we liked the eclectic look here for our New Years Eve Party Decorations.

New Years Eve Party Recipes

 

No New Years Eve party is complete without some delicious recipes.  Something delicious to sip, something tasty to nibble.  Here are a few of our favorite things to serve.  

Wassail 
1-gallon apple cider
1-quart pineapple juice
6 ounce can of frozen orange juice concentrate
27 whole cloves
8 cinnamon sticks

Mix cider, pineapple juice, and orange juice concentrate in a large crockpot. In cheesecloth place, cloves and cinnamon sticks, tie a knot around them with the cheesecloth and add to liquid. Heat. Serve hot. Make sure you take the seasonings out before storing. We like to make this at least the morning before we serve it so it will have plenty of time to mingle.

New Years Eve Party Pizza Rolls

Pizza rolls may not be fancy but they are a delicious finger food that can be passed around on trays easily to your guests.  The filling is simple and these are quick to throw together. Make them ahead of time and freeze them separated on cookie sheets. When frozen, put them in a zipper bag and store in the freezer until you are ready to bake. Simply put them frozen on your cookie sheet and bake them when you need them. 

 

Filling:

Cheese
 
Dough:
2 Cups Organic Unbleached Flour
1 Teaspoon Celtic Sea Salt
1/3 Cup Cream
2/3 Cup Organic Milk
2 Tablespoons Organic Butter
 

Directions:

In a mixing bowl put your flour and sea salt mix together until combined then slice your butter into thin slices and add to flour and salt mixture. Add Cream and milk and stir until it forms a thick dough. Roll out and cut into strips. Add a small dab of sauce (We use Auntie Betty’s Pizza Sauce) add cheese of your liking (I used a Mexican cheese blend I think 🙂 ) Fold dough over and press sides firmly down. bake for 27 Minutes at 350 degrees.
