Auld Lang Syne

Hooray! Tomorrow is New Year's Eve!

It's supposed to be very chilly here in Denver (high of 19, low of-2), but since this is a pretty date-specific celebration, the show must go on.

In case you too are headed to a party, I've pulled together some of options for easy appetizers. If there is no recipe link, then the recipe is basically just the ingredients I've listed in title.


Easy Greek Dip with homemade pita chips


Bruschetta with fresh tomatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper


Spiced Ginger Cashews


Phyllo with pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan


Greek-Style Potato Skins


Puff pastry with fresh whipped cream and strawberries


Blackberry Cobbler in a Jar

This year, I'm planning on making homemade Snickers and a ginger simple syrup you can add to a glass of champagne.

Cheers to a wonderful 2011!
