Getting psyched for the New Year!

Thank goodness this year is almost over. I am so excited for 2011 and so ready for some change! In preparation for saying adios to 2010 I thought I would give you an idea of how I’m planning to say good bye.

My outfit:

I’m going for a glammed up casual look. I’m thinking jeans with a sparkly Jcrew top + sweater paired with knee high boots. I’m sure I will throw in a mixture of pearls and diamonds to keep it classy.

Here is the top I am planning on wearing with a sweater on top of it (because really it’s freezing here and sleeveless is just plain silly right now) . You can’t really tell but it has lots of sparklies (I love sparklies..I’m still a kid at heart )

Now the most important thing: What should you serve on New Years?  I’m all about serving  fun appetizers. These are two of my favorites. They remind me of “the fam”  whom I love!
 
Vidalia Onion Dip

 Ingredients:

3 cups chopped Vidalia onions

3 cups shredded Swiss cheese

2 cups Hellman’s mayonnaise

2 teaspoons garlic salt

1/4 teaspoon hot sauce

 Directions:

Put all ingredients  in food processor. Pulse until combined.

 Pour into greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35- 40 minutes until lightly brown. Serve with water crackers

Easy mushroom snacks

1 pkg crescent rolls

Cook next five ingredients in sauce pan

8oz can mushrooms

2 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon chopped onion

 First press rolls in 9×13 dish. Then spread with 3 oz cream cheese on and put mushroom mixture on top. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake in preheated 350  oven for 20 minutes or until brown.

Both of these recipes came from my lovely mother! Check out a recent favorite photo of mine.

I think my mom loves sparklies too!
