HI Ladies...well my hubby and I are hosting our first new years eve this year..totally informal..we still have no furniture and the house isnt set up yet but we want to have like an open door thingy. I was thinking of making our d ourves (sp) but I dont know what except pigs in a blanket. I dont know how else to make this special except for alcohol. Does anyone have any suggestions? What to make? what to have? what to buy? All suggestions would be so appreciated! Thanks so much in advance!

Make dips, veggie platter, mini franks in a mustard guava sauce(this is easy 1 jar guldens 1 jar guava jelly heat together throw in weenies and done!) you can also buy meatballs from price club or BJ's and mix grape jelly w/B-B-sauce for sweet and sour meatballs! Hope this helps and good luck!

I make pizza dip for all winter parties we have and attend, and always get compliments on it...
Ingredients 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup sour cream 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 1 cup pizza sauce 1/2 cup pepperoni 1/4 cup chopped onion 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper 1 package shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 2 In a small mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder and oregano. Spread this mixture into a 9-inch glass pie pan, and cover with shredded mozzarella. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the cheese. In a food processor, chop pepper, onion and pepperoni until they are in small pieces (I do all 3 ingredients together to save time). Spread evenly over pizza sauce. 3 Bake for 10 minutes. 4 When the dish is removed from the oven, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the dish. 5 Return the pie pan to the oven and bake until the mozzarella cheese has melted.
Serve with bread sticks.
Enjoy! I'm sure your party is going to be a huge success!

The TGI FRidays brand of spinach artichoke dip is good-- you buy it frozen and microwave it. Serve it with Tostitos. They also sell at most delis bruschetta- you buy it already made and then you slice bread toast it and put the bruschetta on top.

Price club/ costco sells really good frozen Orderves. If you don't feel like cooking alot, they are great, just pop them in the oven for a while. I buy the Variety pack which has the cocktail hotdogs, cheese puffs, mini spinach things etc.. They also sell awesome wings there ( also can just pop into the oven) The party stores have great new years things like trays and paperware and decorations. They have cute plastic champagne glasses too
Good Luck!

If you want something that looks fancy but is really easy try a veggie flower basket. All you need is a flower pot, shish-k-bob sticks , your favorite veggies, a bunch of parsley and a small peice of floral foam. -Put the foam in the bottom of the flower pot -Stick all you veggies on the shish sticks -Stick the sticks in the foam -Place the parsley around the top of the pot to cover the foam. -You can put little ribbons on the sticks if you choose. I'll try to get a picture on before new years. (That's some stick, huh?)
