It's crock pot night here. Black beans and rice and Mexican roast.

We decided to go low key on dinner by making macaroni & tomatoes and a salad. Now we can really get into Happy Hour with wild abandon. :mdance:

grandma said we having both veggies with onion dip, egg rolls, ham cream cheese green onion roll up, pop and chocolates I really am going to need the tread mill

We have a New Year's Open House tomorrow so I am preparing our good luck meal tonight-pork roast, greens, blackeye peas and cheesy potatoes.

Making a pork roast with sauerkraut, au gratin potatoes and a veggie. Will have the left overs tomorrow...tradition is pork and sauerkraut on new years day. Hope I get double good luck in 2012 for having it new year eve and day!

Our last splurge of the year is.......... Sushi from our favorite takeout chinese place then finishing it off with homemade butterfinger blizzards..YES..I can't wait!

It's pizza night here.

Weeell...I was planning on Beef Stroganoff but about 1/2 hr. ago Mike decides to mention he doesn't think he's "in the mood" for that...bahahahaha!

So it might end up being a frozen pizza!

Macaroni & Tomatoes...YEEEUUUM! One of my all-time favorite meals from my childhood.:hurray:
But of course no one else in my house will touch them...Boooo! More for me, I say.


{Side note: Growing up we always sprinkled ours with a little bit of sugar.
Not sure why but this was the only time we ever put sugar on anything containing tomatoes.
As an adult, I've heard of folks adding a sprinkle of sugar to pasta sauce to cut down on the acid but I can only ever rem. adding it to macaroni & tomatoes.}

We are doing a number of snack like things to eat. Mini pizzas, cookies, pasta salad, pups in a blanket, and chips and dip.

At this rate, probably just the trail mix I've been munching on all day. Too lazy to make anything.

Fried egg sandwiches topped with goat cheese and sautéed spinach. Cheesecake for dessert made with leftover Christmas meal ingredients-- cookie crust with cream cheese, condensed milk, lime juice filling. Tried to make it a treat without having to buy extra ingredients...we'll see how the kids think it tastes!

I didn't really plan anything or buy any junk food.

I made veggie wraps for us. Cucumbers, grape tomatoes, cut up apples, carrots, and romaine.

I might air pop some popcorn later while watching the countdown with Anderson Cooper.
