Answer 1

Try making polenta fries with lots of different dipping sauces. Polenta is very easy to make, just follow the directions on the package, bake and cut into squares. Then fry them to make them crispy. You can serve them with salsa, guac, ranch, spinach dip, ketchup, melted cheese, etc.

Good luck and have fun!

I have end of summer parties every year. Its good you want to please everyone, and that's hard to do. Go with buying a couple of roasts. just a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. slow bake them covered in the oven until tender at about 250 degrees for 2-3 hours. take them out, (keep the juice!) and shred them down. Add some flour to the meat and mix. Then add the juice in slowly and you have a lovely shredded beef, or pork. You could add BBQ sauce if you want. If you want to fake a meat option, grill up some portabello mushrooms. a good filler is a roasted butternut squash soup. Its hearty and filling! good luck!

Answer 5

Just something small, like pretzels and french onion dip. If you don't want to buy platters then make sanwiches out of the stuff you and your friends like and then just cut it into smaller triangles. Chips and salsa is another way to go.

Answer 6

taco dip is always the first to go at my parties!

mix 2 pkgs softened cream cheese with one small tub sour cream and 1 1/2 pkgs taco seasoning- spread onto a plate and top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, black olives and green onion- serve with tortilla chips

Spinach dip and a bread bowl is another good one- my sister brings it to every family function because WE MAKE HER!!!!! try it- it's awesome! http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Spinach-Dip... serve in a Hawaiian Bread Bowl

maybe pick up some pizza rolls or mini egg rolls in the freezer section.

and something sweet of course like cupcakes!

Answer 7

also if you like chips & salsa you could one more & serve nachos get a can of either cheddar cheese or nacho cheese sauce & warm in a crock pot.  you could make your own platters buy some carrots, celery, brocolli, & other veggies & just arrange on a plate with some dip & you could make you own meat & cheese plate with ham, turkey & a couple of sliced cheeses. have some sliced avacados & lettuce & tomatoes & people could make veggie sandwiches
