John and I don’t usually do anything for New Year’s. By that time every year we are so tired of driving and family and friends and spending money that we’d rather hole up in our own living room with a table full of appetizers, a couple of games, the TV on, and bubbly in the fridge.
I like to pull together a menu of gnoshes, some old favorites and a new idea or two. This year I think Cocktail Meatballs will serve as a new addition. Not new, really, but I’ve never made them.
It’s taken me a while to figure out that my husband really just wants meat. He’ll eat vegetables, dips, a few sweets here and there. But add animal protein and it’s an instant party for him.
I’m pretty sure these will make it onto the old favorites list in New Years future.
