Mr. Juggling Act and I rarely go out for New Year’s Eve – I’m not a big fan of the crowds and the idea of heading out to a “first night” celebration in single digits is so not appealing.
But that doesn’t mean we don’t celebrate in our own small way.
I love making a delicious fondue or steaks and settling in for a nice quiet (late) meal after the kids have gone to bed. It’s like going on a date without the hassle of finding a babysitter (or cleaning the house before she comes!)
Last year, I made this champagne fondue and it was amazing! Served with lots of yummy things for dipping, it was the perfect way to celebrate.
Directions:You can use extra long toothpicks, or skewer cut in half. Thread on one tomato, then half the basil leaf – add the bocconcini then the other half of the basil leave so it’s wrapped around the cheese. Repeat until all your appetizers are assembled.
Plate onto a platter and drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with sea salt.
I hope you enjoy your New Year’s Eve friends – it’s been an amazing 2013 and I hope 2014 is a tremendous year for you!

Love Caprice salad. Ever try reducing your balsamic vinegar ? Makes it thicker & yummier ! Worth the extra bit of time. Make a lg. batch & bottle it as gifts too ! Def going to make these bites& the pot stickers !
