We have a fair amount of dinner parties so all our friends have eaten my menus twice at least, so I've tried to come up with some different dishes this time. We just bought a new BBQ so I have to use that.
I make everything from scratch; the refried beans and guacamole in the dip, the garbanzo beans, the rib marinade and the cookies: everything.
Appetizers or Starters:
Seven-Layer Dip (refried beans, guacamole, New Mexican salsa, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, queso blanco which is Mexican cheese, green onions) Served With Corn Chips
Fruit & Cheese Skewers (chunks of fresh pineapple, apple, strawberries, blackberries, mandarin oranges, alternating with aged white cheddar and monterrey jack)
Drinks
Wines, red and white
Beer
Fruit Juice Sweetened Spriters
Coffee and Tea
Main Course
BBQ Ribs (both pork and beef in spicy sauce)
Garbanzo Bean (Chick Pea) Salad
Macaroni & Cheese (for the kids)
BBQ Vegetable Kabobs (new potatoes, cubed sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, green peppers, fennel bulbs, small white onions, zucchini, butternut squash)
Desserts
Mexican Lime Cornmeal Cookies
Some Other Dessert being brought by a guest
We are having six adults and three kids. One adult is a vegetarian. Does it sound good? Any suggestions?
