Ring in the New Year with 4 Show-Stopping Appetizers

​

​

Hey Reader,

I know we're not even to Christmas yet, but about we need to start thinking about New Year’s Eve. If you're not there yet, that's fine - bookmark this to look at in a few days.

I feel like everything is sneaking up on me this year, and I need to plan ahead a bit. This year it's my turn to bring the appetizers, and these are my family's faves.

Bonus? I can make them ahead of time and enjoy the company instead of spending the night in the kitchen.

Countdown to Midnight with These Four Apps

​Brazilian Cheese Bread is cheesy, fluffy, and impossible to resist (have you had it at the Brazilian steakhouses?). These little bites pop out of the oven golden and airy, perfect for munching while counting down to midnight.

Pull, tear, and savor every gooey, garlicky bite of Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart Bread. It's loaded with cheese and garlic butter, plus it takes just a few minutes to prep.

I love making Non-Traditional 7 Layer Dip for parties. Layers of beans, veggies, cheese, and a few surprises make every scoop exciting. Serve it with chips, and it's guaranteed to be gone long before the ball drops.

​Semi-Homemade Chicken Empanadas are crispy, golden, and stuffed with cheesy chicken goodness. Using a few store-bought shortcuts keeps them stress-free but still feels homemade.

Appetizers don’t have to be complicated or take all night. Which one will you try first this New Year’s Eve?
