How about a fruit piazza?  It is wonderful.  (bananas, strawberries, kiwi,  manderine oranges, and any other fruit u want on it), with cream cheese on a sugar cookie crust.  Easy and taste delicious.   hmmmmm     Let me know know if it fits what you want and if you think u would like to try it. I will give directions.  Have a great party!       O0

That sounds great! Can you PM or post the recipe/directions? Pretty sure I will do that if no one else has any suggestions... Thanks so much!   O0

Beef Fajitas

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup tequila
4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried crushed Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 pounds flank steak, fat trimmed
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 large flour tortillas
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced
1 large white onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic

In a bowl, whisk together the lime juice, tequila, garlic, cilantro, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the Worcestershire sauce, oregano, pepper flakes, cumin and coriander. Pour into a large zip-lock bag, add the steak, and seal. Place in a baking dish and refrigerate for at least 12 and up to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
Remove the meat from the bag and pat dry. Season on both sides with 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Wrap the tortillas in foil and place in the oven for 15 minutes to warm and soften. Remove from the oven and keep warm in the aluminum foil.
Cook the steak over the grill to preferred temperature, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove from the heat and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and onions, and cook, stirring, until soft and slightly caramelized, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic, remaining teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant and soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Hot Cheese Dip

Ingredients:
1 box (3lb) Velveeta Cheese  (cut into ½" or 1" cubes)
1 lb. Hamburger
1 lb. Pork Sausage  (Any flavor)
1 can Rotel brand tomatoes and green chiles mix (Any flavor)
1 can plain diced tomatoes
1 can chopped or sliced black olives

Preparation:
In a large frying pan, over low to medium heat, cook sausage and hamburger. Crumble any large pieces. Add a few tablespoons of water so the meat does not get crusty brown.  Drain.

In a 3qt. Microwave safe bowl put in the cubed Velveeta cheese. Microwave on 50% power for 5 minutes, stir and continue to microwave at 50% until melted.  Do not let the cheese burn. Keep stirring and always heat on 50% power.

Add cooked meat, Rotel, diced tomatoes & black olives.  Stir until blended.
Heat for an additional one or two minutes on 50% power.  Serve warm with tortilla chips or your favorite crackers.

*************************************************************

Variations are endless with this recipe.
If you like it hot, use hot pork sausage and hot Rotel or add a small can of green chiles or hot peppers. Or use 2 cans of Rotel instead of the plain diced tomatoes.

For a milder version, use Extra Mild Rotel and plain pork sausage.
 
For a seafood version,  substitute baby shrimp and crab meat for the hamburger and sausage.

Take a few scoops of this dip and add it to scrambled eggs.  Or use as a topping on baked potatoes.

Have fun and be creative. The best recipes come from imagination.
