THANK YOU and HAPPY NEW YEAR
First we want to thank all of you for a wonderful 2017 and for your amazing support! We very much look forward to what 2018 has in store for EH Design and sharing our journey with you! We wish nothing but the best for you and your families in 2018!
Now let's get to that menu...
I am not a chef by any stretch of the imagination and will stick to design BUT I can follow a recipe and love me some good food and drinks! I love it even more when the recipes are easy.
We have gathered up our favorite appetizers and drinks that we will be serving on NYE this year.
Beverages
Champagne with Sugar Sticks
Let's start with the beverages because let's be honest, it's NYE! There are so many champagne drink recipes out there. We like to keep it simple so grab your fav champagne and add a sugar stick to it to dress it up! Simple, pretty and no fuss!
For those of you looking for a champagne cocktail, here are some of our favorite sites where you're sure to find something to your liking:

Main Dish
Taco Soup
This is seriously a winter go to for our family. It's also a huge crowd pleaser and can feed a bunch of people. Another thing we like about this recipe is that you can assemble it the night before which lets the flavors come together. Serve with tortilla chips or corn bread - delish! One modification we make to this recipe - do not add water.

Appetizers
Roasted Shrimp Cocktail
To make it even easier on yourself, use frozen shrimp or shrimp you don't have to peel and purchase the cocktail sauce. We love this cocktail sauce - Heinz ZESTY cocktail sauce.

Cheese Plate
We love a good cheese plate for so many reasons! Not only can you put cheeses and crackers on the plate but incorporating fruits, meats and nuts takes it to a whole other level. We love the snackability of a good cheese plate and also love the many flavors this adds. Iowa Girl Eats has created the perfect cheese platter AND shows you how to do it, what to get and how much to get!

Dessert
Sparkling Grapefruit Sorbet Floats
There is nothing like a good dessert! When it's super simple and includes alcohol, I'm all in! Check out this amazing dessert by Better Homes and Gardens.
