Party dishes?

[heyjupiter678]

I know this is a lame thread, but . . . My parents are having a big party Saturday and everyone is supposed to bring a food dish. I don't cook a whole lot, but I'd like to take something a little more exciting than mac & cheese. :laugh:

Does anyone have recommendations for impressive, but simple, party dishes?

Sheperd's Pie!! It's always a fan favorite. You cant go wrong.

Does anyone have recommendations for impressive, but simple, party dishes?Cheese fondue is an easy one, & everybody loves fondue!

Make sure there's plenty of booze in your fondue, & then cut squares of crusty french bread.

Another easy but popular party fave is the meatballs in the grape & mustard sweet & sour sauce.

Cut strawberries, put sugar all on them, cure them in the fridge overnight. Delish.

I invented Crabmeat pinwheels. If you've had pinwheels(flour tortillas, with ham, cream cheese, diced green onions, diced green chillies{the kind in a can-Ortega}, sliced black olives, and some spices- spread onto the tortilla, roll, Saran wrap overnight, then cut into 1/2" slices the next morning(or a few hours later). I dumped the ham for imitation crab meat, and it's a huge hit!:woohoo:
