Well down south we grill all year long, so we always have a nice grilled NY strip or Ribeye, along with a grilled lobster tail, loaded baked potato, grilled aspargus & homemade garlic bread. Always use medium/hot coals on the charcoal grill & season the steaks lightly on each side with Montreal steak seasoning......For the asparagus, add some sliced garlic & baby bella mushrooms along with a good bit of butter - wrap in foil & place on back corner of grill........simple & romantic......finish off with a nice cheesecake or chocolate covered strawberries & champagne.......

Answer 4

Something simple that you can make ahead of time and just enjoy the evening watching music shows, hanging with friends or however you like to spend it.

Toss and bag a salad, make and freeze a lasagne, cut up some fruit (strawberries, oranges, bananas, pears, etc) and pieces of croissants or cake (white or yellow, no frosting).

Then on NYE, serve salad and bread with butter-garlic sauce to dip while lasagne cooks. For dessert, a chocolate fondue with fruit pieces and cake or croissants. And don't forget the bubbly - or sparkling juice, if you prefer!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! =)

Answer 5

Most people have black eyed peas for luck and ham. Does not have to be a big ham, it can be sliced ham. And how about adding some canned S&W Sweet Potoatoes. They already have lots of brown sugar and cinnamon in them. Delicious.

My husband and I are going to have rib eye steaks and baked potatoes. Black eyed peas for a side dish.

Answer 6

I am making corned beef in the crockpot myself and having Reubens. I have read in the past that it is good luck to have pork and sauerkraut on New Years but lordy, lordy, I can't remember where I heard that.....
If you are eating late you may not want to eat anything heavy. How about Chicken caesar salads and crocks of french onion soup. Now that sounds good.

Answer 7

cook some comfort food, it is probably cold outside where you live. try the recipe for chicken divan found on www.food.com. it is a creamy chicken dish that you can serve with noodles, rice, or potatoes. or how about not cooking at all? get a crab and some lemon and a fresh baked baguette and enjoy with a glass of crisp white wine. enjoy!

Answer 8

I bought a lobster tail for mine:) i was just getting ideas on how to prepare!
traditionally, they say you should eat black eyed peas on new years--- something about it representing money so you have a prosperous new year.

Answer 9

Surf N Turf is always a winning combo.

Answer 10

Comfort food. Whatever you both like best.
