Joelen,
Am happily in "guest mode" this weekend. These menus look delicious.
Have fun!
My MIL has decided that she wants to have a party Saturday night and I am in charge. We are putting a fire in her chiminea and roasting hot dogs and marshmellows. So, we'll have hotdogs, s'mores, chili, cheese dip, chips, cookies and orange punch. Nothing fancy, just a backyard thing.
We are having 20 people for our party on Saturday night.
Appetizers: witch fingers, mozzarella eye balls, guacamole, veggies & dip, cheese & crackers (plus two appetizers that guests are bringing)
Main Food: sausage & peppers, wings, penne vodka, pizza rolls
Dessert: spider cupcakes, chocolate & peanut butter cupcakes, halloween sugar cookies, tombstone brownies
Drinks: halloween punch, sangria, beer, maybe a Halloween cocktail
