I'm making monkey bread for breakfast, and thinking about having a fruit tray.

dinner is ham, macaroni and cheese (make ahead), scalloped potatoes, rolls. Trying to figure out a vegetable dish, but haven't gotten that far yet. Dessert is pumpkin squares and chocolate cake. Not sure if I am going to make a peanut butter pie or not.

I'm having open house for 50 or so people Friday night, so no cooking here Saturday but wanted to make a suggestion for appetizer. I make a taco dip(on package Ranch powder, one cream cheese, 1/2 to 1 pint sour cream... spread on serving plate, top with jar of salsa, cheddar cheese and olives if you like, serve with tortilla chips). It always goes well, you can put in and out of the fridge as the day goes on. Can also add lettuce if you are planning to just eat at one period of time.

Sweet/salty chex mix...don't really know what to call this--it has pretzels, peanuts, two kinds of chex mix the coated with either milk or white chocolate and broken into bunches. Sometimes I put M & Ms or peanut M & Ms in it too.

Apps:

Cocktail Weenies (not excited about this one)

My mom always does the little weenies in BBQ sauce... we love them! I might try using the little weenies for mini pigs-in-blankets. Or would they be called piglets-in-blankets?

Your menu sounds tasty!
