I will admit, we haven't been eating a lot of new, creative fun foods recently. I've been trying to keep it simple so we have stuck to a lot of plain meals or stuff I've already posted.
So, New Years Eve. We love to have snacks. Past years I've done soup and then snacks but, really, that's a lot of food. Instead, I planned a variety of snacks that we ate at 6:30 for dinner and then, everyone could snack on whatever they wanted the rest of the evening.
Now, here's the other thing. I was burned. out. on. cooking. I told Darryl that I didn't want to cook anything - just buy premade stuff. He said . ."ok!" LOL I did end up doing a combo of both which was perfect.
So, here's our almost perfect snack list:
Bacon Crescent Wraps - this recipe goes way back. Like 20+ years I've been making these and we love them.
Mini Pigs in the Blanket - These are simple yet so tasty.
Apples and Homemade Caramel dip - this dip is just cream cheese, brown sugar and vanilla so it was super easy.
Chicken Drummies - These came out of a bag in the freezer from Schwans (Thanks to Nana). A new favorite and so easy to make. Josh loves them :-)
Mozzarella Sticks - I bought the TGIFridays brand and they were soooo good! For real.
Mini Quiches - I purchased these, and have in the past, but this time, neither Darryl nor I were impressed with them. I won't buy them again.
I also had Corn Chips and Spinach dip, Tortilla chips and Queso Dip, cheese and crackers, and a can of spray cheese for Darryl (which is also the boys favorite things HA)
Guess what, I didn't even bake a thing. I bought some holiday Lofthouse cookies (they were on sale!) and some mini cupcakes that we love.
Look, no pictures :-) HA! I meant to take pictures of our spread but I never even got the camera out. I can tell you that I plan on trying out various new recipes in the coming weeks from main dishes to snacks to lunch ideas. You will probably see this list of food again in a few weeks at our annual Superbowl Sunday Fun Food day so I'll take a picture . ..maybe ;-)
