You can always make simple side dishes like a tray of cheese and crackers!. That is always a hit!. I would get a tray of vegetables and dip!. Something simple you can make is salsa and cream cheese with chips!. I love that dish!. My mom makes that a lot for parties she has and it is a hit!. I buy the 1/3 less fat cream cheese, a jar of mild salsa, and chips!. I put the cream cheese in a bowl and pour the salsa on top!. You can have fruit on the table like grapes, watermelon, oranges, bananas, apples, and pineapple with a yogurt dip!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
make a coffee ice cream punch--- so delicious!. You mix coffee ice cream, milk, a little alcohol if you prefer, and ice!.
for appetizers, you could do blanched asparagus with a dill-sour cream dipping sauce, salted pecans, cheese straws!.
for sides, chilled potato salad, green bean bundles wrapped in bacon, a green salad with strawberries, pine nuts and balsamic vinaigrette!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
