Before I get to sharing two new delicious recipes with you, I must make sure you are sufficiently prepped to ring in the new year! Growing up, we always celebrated New Year’s Eve with friends and family and looked forward to it the entire year. It was so much fun.

With nearly 500 recipes, I know the recipe index can be somewhat overwhelming, so I listed my favorites here. Enjoy!
