    Collage with 4 appetizers and the words "12 elegant appetizers."

    There is just something special about New Year's Eve celebrations! There is some reflection of the prior year and hope for what is to come in the new year; fun drinks and delicious food!

    I always have visions of getting dressed up and going somewhere fancy to celebrate the new year. But the truth is, that kind of a New Years' celebration has only happened once in my entire life! And that night wasn't even the best time.

    The reality is that most of my New Years' Eve parties happen right in my own home, and instead of a cocktail dress I am wearing yoga pants and a T-shirt. But it still feels festive and like a special night of celebration because we have really great food! Little bites of goodness turn an ordinary night into an extraordinary one!

    So put on your slippers, get comfortable, and pick a few of these amazing appetizers to make your night spectacular!
