As we near New Year’s Eve I wonder what will you be eating this evening while celebrating the start of a New Year and a New Decade? I shall be home with my children and my husband celebrating right here while we watch the ball drop on Times Square via ABC on the east coast. Here are some quick snack ideas for your evening of celebration:

Veggie Sticks – really simple & fast snack; just cut up some carrots, celery, cauliflower, and broccoli and lay on a platter with a bowl in the center filled with Ranch Dressing.

Graham Crackers w/Peanut Butter - this is good for the kids, I don’t really care for it; just take some graham crackers and snap them off into the small size rectangles add peanut butter to them and stick 2 small rectangles together to make a PB & Graham Cracker “sandwich”.

Shrimp – easy and fast to serve. My daughter and I love anything with Shrimp in it.

Chips ‘n Salsa w/Melted Velveeta Cheese – hello waste of a good week of working out, but this snack is so delicious! Simply take a block of Velveeta cheese and melt it either on top of your chips or in a bowl, then pour your favorite salsa into a bowl or on top of your tortilla chips and eat up with the cheese! Be prepared to sulk after when you realize how many calories you just ate up!

Those are just a few of my fave snack ideas, what are yours? Have a happy and safe New Year’s Eve my friends, until 2010 …

Make it a Happy Day!
