New Year's Eve and New Year’s Day Recipes

Here are some of the Weil Nutrition Corner™ Teams’ go-to recipes for the holidays. Enjoy!

Dr. Weil’s New Year’s Eve Mushroom Lasagna

Lasagna is a pretty popular New Year’s Eve (or holiday) entree. Easy to make for a crowd! I like to keep my lasagnas pretty simple, with just sauteed mushrooms, cheese, noodles, and homemade tomato sauce. I prefer regular lasagna noodles to no-boil ones because I think the texture is better. If you want, add a handful of chopped fresh basil or a few tablespoons of pesto between one of the layers. I know it’s tempting to cut into it straight away, but let it sit for at least 15 minutes after baking to set.

Justine’s Salmon Log Appetizer

Every holiday gathering needs that one appetizer everyone hovers around, and for our family, this salmon log is it! Straight from my mom’s recipe box, it’s been part of our celebrations for years.

Callie’s Popcorn (+ Toppers)!

I love a bowl of popcorn and a good movie on New Year’s Eve, and topping them with healthy spices and herbs helps keep things creative! Try some of my favorites!

I just remember being little and wondering what the strange smell on New Year’s Day was! It smelled like bacon, but at the same time, it was strange! Black Eyed Peas in a crock pot! Everyone was required to eat at least one for good luck! This tradition is embedded in me, and now I cook blacked eyed peas once a year - just in case…
