The end of the year is in sight, and many people are starting to evaluate the amount of weight that they have gained from holiday parties and feasts. However, there is still one more holiday to hurdle before the weight loss goals and New Year resolutions will go into effect. This week’s blog will be all about Jewish recipes that you can serve for your New Year’s Eve celebration.
If you are planning a family gathering this New Year’s Eve then you will want a kid friendly menu, as well as an adult friendly menu. For the kids you will want to have a variety of finger foods and snacks that kids will like such as chips, dips, chicken nuggets and pizza. For the adults you will want to have slightly more complex and intense flavors, such as artichoke dip, assorted cheeses and artisan breads, slow roasted meats and traditional Jewish recipes such as gefilte fish and Matza ball soup.
If you are planning an adults only New Year’s Eve party then you can serve alcoholic refreshments. However, instead of relying on champagne and wine, consider hosting a mixed drink party. This option will allow you to buy mixed drink mixes which will make bartending much easier. To make the party most festive you will want to buy fresh fruit and vegetables to garnish your drinks with and have the appropriate shaped glassware to serve your mixed drinks in. Finally, don’t forget to pick up festive decorations for your party.
