New year recipes

These were easy and so cute! I made 1/2 a recipe piped with tip 12 and got 25 mushrooms.

Very popular in Asian restaurants, can be used as a appetizer or main dish, both work very well.

Sweet cherry peppers stuffed with lemony tuna, capers, and optional anchovy, finished with a balsamic vinegar drizzle. These bite-sized Italian-style appetizers are the life of any New Year's Eve party and ready in under 30 minutes.

Spiced shrimp with broiled polenta stacks lemon-sage shrimp onto crisp-broiled polenta rounds, finished with crumbled prosciutto. An elegant, quick New Year's Eve appetizer or small-plate main.

This bacon and tomato wafers go very well, tastes well too! Last year, did it before New Year coming!

Easy bacon cheddar cheese ball with cream cheese, scallions and pimentos. Make-ahead New Year's party appetizer ready in 15 minutes, chill overnight.

I like this shrimp stuffed mushrooms, all are healthy.

New Year's Eve polenta squares crisp tube polenta under the broiler, then top each bite with a tangy sun-dried tomato, caper, and parsley pesto. A make-ahead cocktail-party appetizer that feeds a crowd.

It can be a very good appetizer after dinner! Welcomed by everyone!

Spanish pan con tomate with Serrano ham slow-roasts plum tomatoes for a sweet, garlicky spread piled onto toasted baguette and topped with thin slices of jamón. A classic tapas party platter.

These stuffed jalapeno peppers are "fried" in the oven to cut the fat in a big way. A mixture of refried beans and cheese creates a warm and gooey inside with the cornmeal delivering a delicate crispy outside. Perfect for New Years or Superbowl gatherings.

Sweet baby bell peppers stuffed with a slightly spicy and garlicky mix of cream and jack cheese. Fairly easy to prep and only 10 minutes cooking time.

Homemade salted eggs brined in rock salt water for three weeks until the yolks turn firm, golden-orange, and richly savory. Just three ingredients and patience. Serve quartered with rice or congee.

A quick and easy way to use up your leftover by making this delicious spread.

It is a great appetizer, very nice cheese with asparagus, at New Year, always popular!

A great appetizer for hungry friends, this was a real hit at the 2012 New Year's Eve Celebration
