Our Top Live Pretty Recipe Picks for New Year’s Eve & New Year’s Day

Can you believe that New Year’s is just days away? Oh, how 2012 flew by …

As we prepare for an exciting New Year here at Live Pretty full of new life (I’m due shortly with baby #2) and new opportunity, we wanted to stop and share some of our favorite recipes for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day with you.

New Year’s Eve Recipes

Fire Ice Cream – The perfectly simple dessert that will wow your guests.

Crab Artichoke Dip – This dip is perfect for a crowd (and even better on toast the next morning).

Spicy Pecans – Pairs perfectly with a spread of appetizers and cocktails, and an easy treat to bring and share.

Mexican Cheesecake - Simply perfect for entertaining.

New Year’s Eve Cocktails

Two Simple Champagne Cocktails – Chambord Champagne and Elderflower Champagne Cocktails.

Cranberry Mojito & Orange Creamsicle Martini – Two wonderful tastes of Florida.

Grapefruit Martini – A classic Live Pretty martini that uses all the flavors of the season.

Christmas Cookie Martini - Enjoy the last day of the holidays savoring the flavors of Christmas.

New Year’s Day Recipes

Croatian Happy New Year Pork & Sauerkraut – We have this every single year … it would not be New Year’s Day without it. This must be made with Rose’s Mashed Potatoes and Oma’s Applesauce.

Coffee Creamer Scones – Perfect for the next morning and simple to pull together.

Eggnog Pancakes – Use up that Eggnog still hanging around and give your overnight guests an easy sweet treat in the morning.

And, if you are planning a big party for New Year’s, here are some of our top party planning tips.

We wish you a wonderful and Happy New Year!
