If you're cooking a nice dinner tonight...

[miniroller]

Steaks! We really like this recipe, but will do inside on the grill pan:
allrecipes.com/recipe/14554/sirloin-steak-with-garlic-butter/
Still deciding on sides, so I'm hoping for help from this thread
ETA: sorry on app; thought this was ML, but I'm steal stealing ideas!

[swest]

Prime rib with twice baked potatoes, I am so excited!

[kategm]

Grilled flank steak with chimichurri, roasted cauliflower, and hot crash potatoes

[halfpint]

I probably shouldn't be answering this, but we just do favorite heavy hors d'oeuvres on NYE. Tonight we have mini quiche, a cheese and fruit spread, grilled pineapple, shrimp, apricot/chili meatballs, tomato/brie tarte, and some other pastry-based apps, plus some basic veggies and dip.

Lobster. .

[vtdiamond]

I'm planning to pick up some kind of seafood at the store this afternoon. I'm considering either lobster, crab legs or salmon.

[MadamePresident]

Last year we did steak. I had a fussy kid, our friend's daughter threw up mid dinner. This year we are having whatever and getting together later in the evening.

[acr]

Minced Beef Wellington, roasted asparagus, & sticky toffee pudding.

We try to pick a different cuisine each NYE

[shelbyann]

We are also doing steak. I have two giant ribeyes thawing right now!

I bought some fancy crispy onions and we will do roasted garlic also as toppers. Good crusty bread and brown butter green beans on the side.

[CloudBee]

Probably bacon wrapped filets. I'm going to Whole Foods after the gym this morning to grab a fancy cake. I may change my mind on the entree once I see what they have to offer.

[meltoine]

Every year I go to Whole Foods and pick an assortment of nice sausages, prosciutto, cheese, pate, and a baguette and some kerrygold. We make some bearnaise sauce to dip the sausage in and it's awesome. And easy, which is nice because we wait until the kids are in bed, and who wants to start cooking a fancy meal at 8:30? Lol

we're doing this too. I went to Trader Joe's yesterday and grabbed some things

coconut shrimp
mushroom turnovers
crostini with marscapone cheese, fig jam and proscuitto
brie with apricot jam 
something else I have already forgotten

[preppy]

I just put beef stew in the crockpot:) We have champagne for tonight as well.

[sent]

Trader Joes stuffed chicken breasts. My husband likes to bake these on "special" days. I'm going to make their cornbread stuff with corn and sausage. He likes the corn and sausage in there. DD will eat none of this. We will do appetizers first. DD loves the TJ's chicken samosas so that will be her meal with some rice or pasta.  Nothing really fancy about this meal, but this is the extent of fancy in our house right now.

[rikki]

Crab legs, lobster, shrimp and undetermined sides -- they were all on sale for very cheap in the Midwest prices

[pinkdutchtulips]

3 cheese stuffed shells w all the sides, tiramisu and prosecco

[caramia17]

My H is on call. Therefore, Caramini and I will go to Whole Foods when I pick her up and I will buy delicious sushi and macarons for us and drink champagne when she goes to sleep.

Traditionally, I do poultry (duck, cornish game hens, proscuitto wrapped stuffed chicken breasts, etc.) on NYE and pork on NYD (some old wives' tale about chickens looking backward when they peck the ground and pigs looking forward).

[glitzy07]

Can I come over to anyone's house? We're having frozen pizza. lol

[moopoint17]

Steaks and a spinach salad for H and me!

[Deleted]

We are having people over and doing heavy apps.

We are making:
Smoked pork sliders
Bacon wrapped dates
Bacon wrapped water chestnuts
Cream cheese stuffed mushrooms
Cheese and crackers
Maybe baked Brie with peach preserves

Other people are bringing apps and/or desserts as well.

We will also have peppermint bark and trail mix for desserts.

[nextbigthing]

We were going to go out, but poor DS is sick so I'm going to cook after he goes to bed

Steaks with roasted garlic
Scalloped potatoes
Roasted brussel sprouts
Good crusty yummy bread

I will have to look at the store and find something for dessert.

Happy new year MMM

[brooklyn]

I'm incapable of cooking, and we spaced on making reservations, so we're most likely ordering pizza, Chinese, or Indian

This is making me want more bacon wrapped ______ tonight.

Beer & butter poached lobster tails with beery risotto. It is awesome.

[linz]

We're going out to eat but last year I got a package from Omaha Steaks. It was steak, twice baked potatoes, and dessert I believe. 

Year before I made steak and lobster. H and I had never made lobster so that was fun trying to figure out cutting it up.

Because bacon is awesome and everything should be wrapped in bacon! You're welcome!

Homemade shrimp alfredo.

DD and I just shredded the parm.

It's easy, the kids will eat it. H is at work until 830 so something that's decent both early and late it is!

Lots of wine in my future too.

We're taking the kids to McDs playland for lunch. Happy New Year to us...lol!

[Deleted]

H just texted me to ask if he could make tater tot casserole for dinner tonight :-(

[dancingirl21]

We are doing the most unhealthy kiddish appetizers. Pizza rolls, mozzarella sticks, spinach/artichoke dip, boneless buffalo chicken bites. And apple crisp for dessert.

I feel kind of bad I am not doing a big, fancy dinner but eh, I just want to make it easy and watch a movie.

[matildasun]

We are having garlic shrimp, crusty bread, cheese, prosciutto, capicola, olives and other snacky things.
