The amount of end-of-the year work didn&#8217;t make matters easier&#8230; Anyway, now that I have missed a holiday post (I never knew how to do these, anyway&#8230;) and my Christmas cooking plans, the least I can do is share with you some festive food ideas for New Year&#8217;s Eve (and, in our case, for the several free-from-work days preceding it)<span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This time, since we don&#8217;t have guests and don&#8217;t go anywhere (it&#8217;s our favourite way to spend New Year&#8217;s Eve, anyway), I can prepare literally whatever I like (or rather whatever WE like, but the cook has the last word, doesn&#8217;t she?), as long as it means&#8230; snacks! Rolls, wraps, spreads and other kinds of fingers food are\u00a0perfect for the way we love to spend end-of-year holidays, i.e. sipping wine or champagne, reading books, binge-watching new shows&#8230;and snacking, of course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I haven&#8217;t decided yet exactly what I&#8217;ll cook, I hesitated a lot and finally made this shortlist. Everything<span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">\u00a0I&#8217;ve chosen is either easy or\/and quick or convenient (i.e. keeps several days in the fridge (or even can be frozen), can be reheated, prepared in advance, etc.). I think all these dishes can be served at a big party and are at the same time perfect for a calm long winter evening on the couch, without any guests. I hope you will find below some useful ideas or inspiration&#8230;.. Have wonderful holidays and a Happy New Year!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>COLD SNACKS<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7173\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7173\" style=\"width: 430px\"
