Brunch Recipes For New Year's Day: From Hoppin' John To Soufflés (PHOTOS)

We're fairly certain that Champagne jelly on the brunch table will start your year off just right.

Some of us can admit to ourselves that New Year's morning is not our most shining moment. We like Champagne and revelry a little too much. Message to the rest of you: please invite us over for brunch. We'll need it.

We can tell you for an absolute fact that walking into someone's home and seeing a Champagne jelly on the table will start your year off just right.
