Question: Very casual get-together!. What kind of munchies should I put out!?
I'm 21 years old and just bought a condo with my boyfriend!. We're going to have our first little get together with some of my co-workers (who are close in age to me, 19yo-23ish)!.!.!.

I'm going to be very busy all week AND on saturday (I am a full time college student, and I work full time)!.!. saturday morning I have a class as well as a study group to attend!.

What are some easy but yummy things that I can put out for people!?
I'm going to make a buffalo-chicken dip (it has no chicken in it but you dip chips and/or crackers in it and it tastes like hot-wings! Its SO yummy!!, You can add a can of chicken - like chicken salad chicken - but im not big on meat)!.!.!.!.

And I'm also going to put out cheese and crackers, and a bowl of regular potato chips with some salsa for dipping!.

An easy and fun punch that's always a big hit:
Put a bag of frozen strawberries or raspberries in a round cake or jello mold!. Fill with Sprite or Ginger Ale and freeze overnight!. The next day, place mold halfway in warm water to help loosen the resulting ice cube!. put it in a punch bowl full of sprite or ginger ale!. Plop in scoops of sherbet!. Delicious and easy!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can always buy frozen mini-quiches or cream puffs or stuff like that!. If it's a casual get together, little comfort foods are always a hit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'd pick up a platter of little sandwich rollups - costco or even supermarkets have them!. I'd also cut up some fresh veggies!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Spinach artichoke cheese dip is also good!.

I think a nice beg tray with some Ranch or blue cheese dip sounds good!.

Looks like a pot of chili would fit right in there!Www@FoodAQ@Com

for drinks mix wine ice and soda in a bigs punch bowl sitting on crushed iceWww@FoodAQ@Com

To enhance your cheese & crackers, get a block of cream cheese and a bottle of raspberry chipolte sauce (you can get the sauce at most stores, I definitely know you can get it at Sam's Club or Costco)!. Pour the sauce over the cream cheese!. It taste amazing!. I usually serve it with club crackers or Ritz!.

Another easy thing to do is a brushetta!. Dice a couple of tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic, red onion!. Mix in a bowl with a little olive oil, balsamic vinagar, salt & pepper to taste!. Let it set in the frig so the flavors and blend!. Take a bagette and cut in to 1/4 inch slices!. Drizzle with olive oil and bake in the over at 350 degrees for about 5 - 7 minutes (until golden brown)!.

Serve together with some fresh graded Asiago or Parmesan cheese!.

This is really nice, quick & easy to make!
