I looked up what we made last year and shopped tonight so we can duplicate the menu. Here's what we're having--
:: cheese ball with an assortment of crackers
:: crudites
:: hot Mexican dip and chips
:: Babaloo chicken wings
:: guacamole
:: peppermint bark (I have the ingredients for this and still haven't made it this season. Hopefully I'll get around to it).
:: sparkling cider
Here's the recipe for the chicken wings. They were a big hit last year. I clipped this recipe from a parenting magazine years ago, when Jacob was still a toddler. I've rarely made it, but last year something made me remember it, and it was really good.
Babaloo Chicken Wings
1 package chicken wing drumettes (aka "party wings")
2 T. soy sauce
2 T. sesame oil (or just use regular oil)
2 T. orange juice
1 T. honey
1. Heat oven to 425.
2. Combine the marinade ingredients (soy sauce through honey) and pour over the chicken wings in a glass bowl. Marinate for 1 hour.
3. Place wings in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
4. Set oven to broil. Broil 4 or 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly browned.
5. Wings may be eaten hot, cold, or at room temp.
What are your plans for the evening?

Oh, I'm doing what I love best and heading out for the woods. We have plans to hike into a rustic cabin for the weekend. It has a bed, table and chairs, and a woodstove. The rest must be backpacked in by us and that, my dear, is my idea of bliss! Did I mention it's right on the shore of Lake Michigan? Happy New Year. May it be full of new adventures.
Oh, Lily, that sounds fantastic! Have a wonderful trip and happy new year!
