There have been ups and downs, highs and lows, but we hope that as our loyal subscribers, you ate well this year. Excellent entrées, delectable desserts, and amazing appetizers really do keep us looking forward to the future. And during this year's countdown, you're guaranteed to be chowing down in style with this New Year's Eve party menu! Want more from About.com Food?
