Cooking for Two
This New Year’s Eve spread meets all the conditions of a good time. The Apricot Bourbon Meatballs are hearty, and the Pear and Onion Tarts are so easy to pop in your mouth. The Mixed Toffee Nuts make a sweet appearance for you to indulge in. The Hot Artichoke Dip warms you right up, and if you’re feeling a little tired, just try one of our Mochaccino Blondies for a quick caffeine hit. We wish you the happiest of New Year’s!
If you need help staying up late at a New Year’s party, these make a tasty way to do it. These are so good! It will be hard for you to eat only one. The combination of coffee and chocolate is hard to beat.
No crust is needed for these delicious mini quiches. The ham and cheese, with the spices, make these great-tasting little “muffins” of goodness. Make them for brunch, or as a perfectly sized appetizer for a party.
These may look small, but they are big on flavor. The puff pastry is the perfect vehicle for the cheese, pear, and onion flavors. They are wonderful right out of the oven or at room temperature.
When we made these nuts, we couldn’t stop eating them. They are so delicious. They are simple to make, so you may find yourself making them often. The toffee is crunchy but not hard. What a treat for the holidays or anytime you are craving …
I have enjoyed this warm dip for several years. I like artichoke hearts a lot, and their flavor shines through in this recipe. The dip is creamy, warm, and very satisfying. You won’t miss the spinach; the artichoke is the star in this recipe.
These little meatballs are flavorful, and the sauce makes them come alive. They are special enough to use for the holidays or a special occasion.
These will add a wonderful festive effect to your New Year’s festivities. They taste light and sweet, and remain cold with the addition of frozen grapes. Happy New Year!
This delightful cookie is one of Bethany’s favorites. It’s a quick and easy recipe. The cookies are soft and chewy, but also have a crunch from the nuts. An all-around perfect cookie
I thought rolled-out cookies were hard to make and weren’t all that exciting to eat. Bethany proved me wrong! They are not hard, and our recipe tastes great. We decided to do snowflakes and frost them in different colors. They do take time to complete, but I believe that they are well worth it. They would make a special treat or an awesome gift.
