With New Years Eve only a few days away I have started to think about some snacks for the football games New Years Day.

Usually on this day I set out a buffet style meal that lasts most of the day.   I start out in the morning with some small Danish, fruit, a juice drink, anything that can sit out as the family emerges from the night before indulgences.

People are in and out of my home all day on New Years Day.   Friends of the children, our friends, neighbors, we have an open door policy.

Toward afternoon I usually set out food that is more appetizer style.  I try and keep it simple as I enjoy the football games also and don’t want to be in the kitchen cooking all day.   All the cookies that are left over from Christmas get put out, as does slices of ham, cheese and bread for sandwiches.  The different dips and cheeses get set out with the crackers or chips to go with them.

If I have the time and inclination I might make a pot of chili for later in the day, but usually after snacking all day the guys aren’t real hungry.

Starting the year out with a clean refrigerator is a plus for me.   That way I can start fresh with new recipes and new ingredients.

Have yourself a safe and Happy New Year.
