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:

... don't forget to make your hot cross bun dough tonight π You can do this two ways: You can make the recipe up to the point at which you have a pan filled with shaped rolls, then you can stick that pan in the fridge. You can mix the dough, then stick the bowl in the fridge and pick up where you left off in the morning. I just mixed my dough, and the process inspired me to send out this reminder email β the smell of freshly grated orange zest in combination with freshly grated nutmeg could...
Hi, Friends. When my son Graham was in preschool, his best friend was a boy named Luca. Having three sisters and no brothers, Graham relished his time with Luca, swimming, riding bikes, and playing with Legos. This was nearly 10 years ago, but I still remember feeling complete relief every time I saw Luca's mother, Michelle, pull into my driveway to swoop Graham away. One day, Michelle asked if Graham would like to join Luca at Chuck E. Cheese's for his birthday. Knowing Graham would be just...
