I love food and don't apologize for it. I make all of Auntie Jane's Good Stuff myself using only the best quality and don't substitute artificial ingredients.

New Years Dinner
I am having a large dinner on New Years day. Just got finished the turkey from Christmas and not sure what my menu should be. Have you any ideas on what to cook? Much appreciated for your expert opinion. Janice
You could go with a buffet or sit down dinner. Crockpot beef stew with red wine and bacon, along with carrots and other seasonings. Ingredients:
* 1 lb. bacon, cooked, reserve grease * 3 lbs. beef, cubed * flour * 1 1/2 cups red wine * 1/2 cup chopped onion * 2 ribs celery, sliced * 2 carrots, diced * 4 to 8 ounces sliced mushrooms * 2 cloves garlic, chopped * 1 bay leaf * salt and pepper
Preparation: Slowly cook bacon in large skillet; remove to crockpot. Dredge beef cubes in flour, brown in bacon fat. Transfer meat from skillet to crockpot. Saute vegetables and garlic in bacon fat; remove to crockpot. Gently stir beef, vegetables, bacon and wine. Add bay leaf and salt and pepper to taste. Cook on low 7 to 9 hours. This over rice or mashed potatoes is great.
Another suggestion would be a ham with scallop potatoes.Maybe a potatoes salad and green salad. A veggie and pickle platter. Pies are always a favorite in my family.Happy cooking.
