Plum wine is sweet and delicious!. Marinate some chicken breast strips in tabasco then bake them in the oven!. Healthier than fatty wings!. Serve with celery sticks and blue chees dressing!. Or melt a package of cream cheese in a can of beanless chile, stir together good and serve warm with taco chips!. Or layer refried beans, salsa, chorizo (mexican sausage), and cheese in a baking pan!. Heat it in the oven and then top it with shredded lettuce, tomatoe and celantro!. Serve with chips!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
