Morning LW's!!!  Anything planned for New Years Eve?  Whatever you have planned please be Safe!!!!

Our family and a few friends get together around 8:00, have snacks,  play games and then we have sauerkraut and pork at midnight while we watch the ball fall. It's always a fun time. I feel so blessed that all my girls and their families still look forward to this.

 
Breakfast:  80 Calorie Cherry Yogurt

Snack:    Nature Valley Gluten Free Almond Crunch...YUMMY Nuts

Lunch:    Vegetable Beef Barley Soup

Dinner:   Not sure Yet

Snack:    A few bites of this and that

Midnight Celebration:  Sauerkraut and pork

I haven't been awake at new year for I can't tell you how many years. And it all seems to happen just fine without me, lol.  We do have friends coming over for dinner but they will be long gone by then.

Is sauerkraut and pork a northern thing?  What kind of pork?  Is that like our blackeyed peas, collards and ham hocks for good luck in the new year?

The sun is out here for what seems like the first time in days.  But it is cold.  I plan on driving anyway but waiting for a little more solar gain. 

decaf protein coffee  33g
low carb wrap, half cheese toast, half cinnamon toast
lemon tea protein  13g
leftover pork stir fry
lemon tea protein  13g
santa fe chicken (crock pot, chicken, black beans, corn, salsa, cheese) salad, cheesecake

The Sauerkraut was delicious!!  I had one of my jars of sauerkraut break on the way home so I had to grab another one and the store shelves were almost bare so it must be a tradition in our area. I put Pork Chops,  kielbasi, and hot dogs in it.  I gave all of the left overs away this year.  DH and I always put some in the freezer but then end up throwing it away when we need freezer space...lol.  If we get hungry for it I'll just make a little for us.  My sister brought her wonderful cookies and I sampled way to many but I sent the left overs home with others (regretting that this morning....lol)

It sounds like you had a good NY's eve.

I use to watch the Grankids when there was about 3 of them but my DD's finally realized they have a lot more fun playing games with the family and listening to all of the kids fight....LOL.  I think we had 22 last night.  DH and I were the first to leave and were in bed about 1. 

The spacing looks pretty good on my end.  Are you still playing candy crush?  On my IPad I can change the time  and get more lives without bugging any one.

I am soooo craving Wendy's Chili!!! 

Sounds Good...even the M&M's!!

We are dog-sitting New Years Day until Sunday.  The kids and grandbabies are invading my parents' place in NC.

Is the weather nice in NC this time of the year?  I'd have a hard time staying home if my girls were all going.  It kills me not to be able to go to the competitions as much any more because I enjoy being with them but they need me to watch the little ones and I'm bummed all weekend.

You did good for it being New Years Eve. No special traditions?
