20 New Year’s Eve Party Food Ideas
I have a few tips to get you started to save you some time for your party. Check out these ideas, and you will be all ready to get busy in the kitchen! Whenever possible, make ahead the dishes to save you time.
- Do any chopping for dips and appetizers a day or two ahead and refrigerate.
- Cheese balls can and should be made a day or two ahead as this gives great texture and richer tastes.
- Most desserts and treats can be prepared a day or two ahead as well, and this can take a lot of the party planning stress out of the mix.
- Shop the sales for things like crackers and nacho chips, and remember, when you’re serving meats, keep them warmed to the right temperatures before serving.
- Stock your food serving area with lots of serving utensils and napkins.
