When selecting a dessert recipe for a
housewarming, choose a dish that can be eaten on the go without any utensils. Cookies and cupcakes are delicious, but empanadas keep up with the
tapas-themed menu. These tasty, small pastries are filled with berries and goat cheese.

I love the
Super Bowl because it gives me an excuse to make super indulgent bar food. Have plenty of finger foods waiting for your guests. Serve chips,
guacamole, chicken empanadas with chili con queso dip, and individual portions of goat cheese nachos.

When planning a menu for a graduation party, the first thing you need to think about is what the person of honor, the graduate, likes to eat. Much like a birthday party, this party is all about the person, so go straight to the source and ask what she wants to serve at her party. Even if the suggested dishes aren't your personal favorite, what you had in mind, or new exciting recipes that you've been wanting to try out, make them anyways.
