10 Recipes for New Years at Home

Looking for a dish to kick off your New Year’s Eve? This recipe takes everything you love about a charcuterie board, wrapped up into a garlicky, fluffy roll. We’ll raise a toast to that!

This isn’t your typical salad. Instead, we grill romaine for a complex flavor and texture, then top it off with a lovely pine nut vinaigrette. Your typical caesar salad won’t know what hit it.

We love to celebrate with dishes that let seasonal produce shine. This salad has winter favorites like roasted butternut squash and a delicious pomegranate vinaigrette.

Nothing says “fancy” quite like a filet. We glaze ours in locally-distilled whiskey at the last minute for a bit of fireworks (literally) and for a sweet, not-so-subtle glaze.

To start this dish, we sauté a heavy helping of minced garlic, capers, anchovies, sliced scallions, and olives. Then, we shake things up by adding a glug of vodka to deglaze the pot and finish off our sauce. Cheers to that, y’all!  

This is another recipe that takes notes from bar cart staples. Layer flavors from your favorite bourbon, an orange, and cocktail cherries to create a sauce for flavor-rich pork belly.

Lobster is the height of sophisticated eating, and it’s best when done simply. We grill ours and pair it with a class lemon garlic butter for a savory treat that’s worth waiting all year for.

If a cozy and decadent evening is more your style, trade your fancy shoes for slippers and pop this pot roast in the oven. There’s no better way to slow down and reflect on the year.

Velvet isn’t just for dressing up—in fact, it’s best of all when served up for dessert. A classic red velvet cake delivers over-the-top flavor, plus a beautiful festive hue that’ll make a meal feel extra special.

In Tennessee, we don’t mind trading champagne for moonshine when we have something to celebrate. And that makes these light and pillowy churros the perfect dessert for your countdown to midnight. Don’t worry, we added a little ‘shine to the ganache, too!
