Happy New Years!

January 1, 2016 By Julie Leave a Comment

Happy New Years From Mommie Cooks!

Happy New Years!  Did everyone successfully bid the past 365 days adieu?

This year we decided to send out 2015 with a New Years Brunch party.  These are my favorite type of gatherings to host because they’re a super easy way to hang out among friends minus the massive amounts of work that are entailed with a normal party.  You provide the space and a few quick bites; everyone else fills in the gaps and brings the post Christmas cheer.

The main dish that our family contributed was a roasted pork shoulder (ok two shoulders).

Add a little flavor, cook them up, shred and place in a crock pot.  Serve with some rolls and Bam.  Done.   I also put together a few desserts just because I’m a sweet type of person. 🙂

Including a pile of muffins.  Lemon poppyseed and carrot cake.  I have SOOO many of these left over. Please feel free to stop by and grab a plateful if you’re in the neighborhood.

And…. a make your own yogurt bar.  Because every party needs a little something healthy.  There may or may not have been a make your own bloody mary and mimosa bar as well.

Just sayin’.

Tomato and orange juice.  Surely that’s healthy right?

Finally, you can’t have a New Years party with a place to state your resolution.  Check.

All in all, it was a true party success.  Now we can look forward to a relaxing weekend followed by the official “sending of the hooligans children” back to school on Monday with a silent sigh of relief.

If all goes well, I should have a new home post up later next week.  I’m working feverishly to finish one last piece before I share it all with you!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.  If you’d like any of the recipes I used for our brunch, I’m tossing up the links below.
