Planning a New Year's Eve Dinner Party

Planning a New Year's Eve Dinner Party

Want to make this New Year's Eve special? Skip going out to a fancy dinner and bring the party to you. While throwing a party may seem like a lot of work, there are several benefits to hosting the festivities at your house. Driving on New Year's Eve is never recommended, and bars and restaurants tend to fill up quickly. If you don't make reservations far in advance, you run the risk of having to wait hours just to be seated. Hosting a NYE party at home is a cost-efficient and convenient way to ensure all of your friends and family are together while ringing in the new year.

Make the Meal Memorable

Planning a New Year's Eve Dinner Party | Bob's Red Mill Blog Whether you're preparing for a sit-down dinner party or just want to create a few dishes to curb your guest's appetite, make sure your NYE meal is memorable! Here are a few of our favorite standout meals to make for your event.

Gluten Free Prosciutto Fig Goat Cheese Tartines

  A French, open-face sandwich, this gluten-free tartine can be served as a main dish or as an appetizer. Using our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour, this tartine has a chewy cracker-like crust that flawlessly complements the tasty toppings. Goat cheese, figs, prosciutto and arugula top a warm crust, creating a sweet and savory meal that everyone will be talking about! If you're not a fan of one (or more) of these toppings, simply replace them with your choice of meat, cheese and veggies!

5 Ingredient Almond Crusted Halibut with Lemon

  Easy, flavorful, nutritious and memorable! This entree is a great meal to make for any gathering. Fresh halibut is always a crowd-pleasing entree. When seasoned with tasty ingredients like butter, lemon and almond flour, it becomes a dish that everyone will remember. With only five ingredients, this meal can be cooked and served in less than 30 minutes, making it the perfect "day of" dish for your NYE party. Don't know what to pair it with? We recommend rice pilaf and grilled veggies!

Cannellini Octopus

  When choosing an entree to make for your New Year's Eve dinner party, octopus is an elegant and impressive main to make. While octopus may be more of an exotic meal than your guests are used to, its a flavorful protein that many will remember. In this recipe, buttery cannellini beans and spicy chorizo are paired with freshly seared octopus to create a dish bursting with flavor. This meal can be served as a tasty main or in more modest portions as an appetizer.

Lamb Chard Ragu

  Colder weather calls for warmer meals. When planning your New Year's Eve party, make sure you check the forecast for the day. If colder temperatures are setting in, then opt for a warm entree. For those cold winter nights, try making this hearty and filling Lamb Chard Ragu. Can't find chard? Don't worry, the chard in this recipe can easily be swapped with beets, greens or kale!

Focus on the Details

Planning a New Year's Eve Dinner Party | Bob's Red Mill Blog While the entertainment, atmosphere and food all play a huge role in a successful New Year's Eve party, to make your event even more memorable, focus on the details. Whether it's passing out fortune cookies with New Year predictions or simply creating a themed soundtrack that everyone can dance to throughout the night, these tiny details will be what separates your New Year's Eve party from the rest.

Plan to Get Festive

Party hats, horns, streamers and sunglasses are all a must when purchasing festive props for your New Year's Eve party. These fun accessories will give a festive feel to the evening and keep everyone's spirits high. Easy to find online or at the dollar store, props boost the party's atmosphere and make for the perfect attire for pictures. Creating a festive hashtag is also a great way to celebrate the night. Easy to use, guests will love tagging their posts and stories from the night and watching a recap of the party the next morning!

Provide Entertainment

Although fun, when we talk about the entertainment, we're not talking about hiring a clown or providing a fire show. We mean something fun that your guests can do to stay busy. Put the festive props you purchased to good use with a photo booth or picture corner. Guests will love gathering together and snapping pictures to remember the night! Last but not least, make sure you can watch the ball drop at midnight! Set the TV to the right channel, get the music ready, and maybe even provide fun New Year's poppers or silly string to spray off when the clock strikes midnight! Remember, throwing a NYE party doesnt have to be difficult. With the right food and atmosphere, youll have no problems pulling off a night to remember!
