And just like that, the end of 2021 is here! That went fast, huh?!
2021 was definitely a mixed year. Some ups, some downs but it’s another year in the books. It was certainly exciting! So, as we look back on the year, let’s sit back and relax with a nice cocktail or drink in hand and enjoy some yummy food to go with it!
I’ve put together a list of some of my favorites to eat both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Some use some leftover champagne, some you should drink champagne with! Either way, you’ll certainly find something you like here!
I can’t wait to hear which ones you made in the comments below! Happy New Year!
