10 New Year's Eve Ideas: Insanely Delicious Whipped Ricotta, Balsamic Roasted Peppers, Easy Marinated Olives, Sugared Cranberries & More
|
Hi Friends, As noted over the weekend, tomorrow morning I'll be heading to my sister's, and in additon to the dog, a hockey bag, 6 humans, and many suitcases, the car will be transporting a bowl of rising dough, for focaccia of course, and a tub of ricotta to make the above-pictured whipped ricotta, which gets drizzled with both honey and olive oil, as well as crushed pistachios. It's exceptional. Later that evening, we'll sip on David Lebovitzβs tangerine spritzes while making resolutions in our pjs and say goodnight no later than 10 pm β my sister likes to be horizontal on the couch shortly after dinner, and more and more, I'm inclined to do the same. Below you'll find 10 favorite nibbles for a NYE gathering, large or small. I'm wishing you all the healthiest and happiest New Year. Thank you, as always, for being here π₯π₯³
PS: You can also turn your focaccia into crostini. Find details in this post, along with many more NYE ideas:

Hi. I'm Ali.

Friends, hello. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday, filled with delicious meals, lots of family time, cozy fires, snowy skies, and maybe a nap or two. If you're gearing up for a New Year's Eve gathering, I hope you feel rested... I'll be spending it in sweatpants on my sister's couch, and I am so looking forward to it. Yesterday, the day after Christmas, I made turkey tetrazzini with leftover braised* turkey leg meat. A few weeks ago, just after Thanksgiving, I shared the tetrazzini...
Hi Friends, I didn't think I'd pop in here till after Christmas, but as I began drafting my shopping list, I found myself thinking about Christmas morning and how, in addition to having something sweet on the table, it is so nice to have something savory, like this, this, or these. Also, I can't tell you the number of times Christmas morning has rolled around, and I have opened the fridge to find zero eggs. Stewart's to the rescue! Below you'll find 10 favorite holiday brunch ideas, both...
Friends, hello! This week I found myself baking for all the various things β cookie exchanges, secret Santa events, teachers' and coaches' gifts.
