You stay up late to celebrate one second. Chances are you'll get hungry along the way. Preparing a New Year's Eve meal that allows hours of dining joy is the way to go. For this reason you might want to cook up something big, like a prime rib roast or a turkey. You might also head towards some traditional barbecue in the form of brisket, pulled pork or BBQ ribs. Interestingly enough, last years top 10 recipes for New Year's Eve include something of all of these.
