These menus sound yummy! We are going to my mom's house for dinner. I'm bringing a couple of desserts. I'm still not completely sure what I'm making. There will be 10 of us at dinner I an will make 2 things.

I'm leaning towards a Sweet Potato Pound cake and a Silk recipe. Both of the recipes can be found here: http://198.64.133.85/showthread.php?s=&threadid=470171

There is another dessert I had recently and it was so good that I'm thinking of making it too. It was called Death By Chocolate Trifle. I will post that recipe on the recipe board as well.

How about coming over to the Recipe/Craft/Scrapbook board and sharing some of your recipes as well?
