Foodie Friday: Celebrating With Champagne


How is this year over with already? For me personally, it wasn't a bad year, but it wasn't the best either. In my mind, each year needs to be celebrated.  It's a chance to remember the good times, learn from the bad ones, and toast to the possibilities of the New Year. No matter how you spend NYE, try to make it special. This last recipe roundup of the year features my favorite, champagne and sparkling wine. If you are home alone, watch a movie and treat yourself to Champagne Carmel Popcorn. Looking to impress? Try the Sparkling Chocolate Truffle Champagne Cake. Cheers to you, my friends! Have a sparkling NYE.


HERE: 16 Celebration Worthy Recipes

Blood Orange Champagne Mule
These are your basic Moscow Mules but with the addition of champagne and blood oranges. Aren't they beautiful?

Oysters Rockefeller
Could there be a sexier, more sophisticated or celebratory dish than oysters? Any way you fix them, they say "celebration." This classic recipe will get the party started.

Prime Rib Roast with Horseradish  Champagne Cream Sauce
This picture perfect dish is NYE perfection! The sauce calls for Champagne Vinegar. But if you are celebrating, use the real thing.

Champagne Risotto
I made risotto for the first time this year. Have to say, it was a huge success, but it didn't have champagne in it....just lobster. This is a must make soon.

Fizzy Sorbet Cocktail
I think that I would serve this as dessert. This recipe had to included, because it is just too pretty not to.

Creamy Champagne Lobster & Prawn Pasta
Now this is a celebration in a bowl! Get the delicious recipe

Chocolate Champagne Truffles
This recipe is proof that you don't have to be a chocolatier to make truffles at home. Even my sweet Mom made truffles, and she was not a fancy cook. You can get the edible gold flakes in time for NYE at Amazon.

Citrus And Avocado Salad With Champagne Vinaigrette
Why serve a regular tossed salad on the last day of the year, when you can serve this beauty? Supplement dinner with a punch of Champagne vinegar (which is made with the same grapes).

Champagne Alfredo with Crispy Prosciutto and Shrimp 
Doesn't this just sound special? Champagne makes this dish bubble, but the little bit of starchy pasta water adds the real magic to the sauce. MMMMM!

Champagne Caramel Popcorn
My evening could begin and end with this recipe. We received an Air Popper for Christmas. This is going to happen next week.

Chicken Au Champagne 
A restaurant quality meal made with champagne in a cast iron pan. This recipe looks quite doable for the average cook.

Champagne Macarons
Oh go ahead and show off a little. Aren't these a
 beautiful bite?

The Well Stocked Bar For NYE
From basics to how much champagne to stock. Find expert tips here.

Almond Champagne Poached Pears With Almond Whipped Cream
Gluten Free
I am not a big pear or fruit person, but these look super elegant. Not to mention that they are made with almond champagne! I have a feeling that any type of champs would do nicely.

Blackberry Champagne Punch
A chic cocktail that is pretty and packs a punch of holiday spirit. Said to be super easy to 
throw together.

Sparkling Chocolate Truffle Champagne Cake
I have saved the best for last. This decadent cake has my name (and yours) all over it.
