new years food ideas

Serve up easy to eat finger food like Nadia G.s pierogies. Try her classic potato cheese filling or experiment with one of her other suggestions, like a mixture of minced mushrooms and fried ground beef.

Individually, champagne and truffles are both synonymous with luxury, but Nadia G. puts champagne inside her dark chocolate truffles, making these celebratory spheres top notch.

Meshugana is the Yiddish word for crazy, and Alie and Georgias cocktail has all kinds of crazy coconut flavor. To make their sweet and stylish sipper, shake a mixture of coconut rum, coconut creme, vanilla infused vodka and a teaspoon of egg white (for a bit of festive froth), then pour into a chocolate rimmed glass.

Bite size pieces of fried chicken make a perfect party snack. Nadia G. serves it up with dipping sauces like maple syrup, barbecue sauce and honey mustard.

Crispy bits of bacon add an unexpected (but very welcome) crunch to Alie and Georgias meatballs, which surprise twice with a minced date and blue cheese center.

Ruby red cranberries make an ideal seasonal ingredient star for holiday cocktails. Tyler adds fresh orange juice and zest to his homemade cranberry syrup for a bubbly beverage that brims with sweet tart flavor.

Make it a devilish evening with Nadia G.s spicy fried chiles. Serve her green onion and dill dip alongside to cool the heat.

In the spirit of New Years Eve, Nadia G. serves up this decadent layered dessert (appropriately) in whiskey glasses, which make excellent individual sized portions for your guests.

Take your bubbly up a notch for the holidays with vodka and cinnamon schnapps.

Give your party some exotic flair with Nadia G.s unique fusion take on a dim sum staple.
