This recipe came from my friend Doris (who I kind of lost touch with), and made its debut at one of my NAFTY parties.

Mrs Frederick’s Dill Dip For Pumpernickel

This got a lot of play last summer, when I was growing my own dill in the backyard.
Homemade hummus

I’ve made hummus a couple times and always forget exactly what measurements I use. I’m stealing these proportions off a Web site because the ingredients mirror mine.

Another great recipe from Aunt Mary!
Aunt Barb dip
Posted in Entertaining, tagged appetizers, dips on February 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This recipe, which I first got from my Aunt Barb, is always a hit at parties. I think b/c it’s a southwestern dip that isn’t the typical salsa/beans/cheese concoction.
Rumaki

This is probably my “signature dish” that everyone expects me to cook. Got the recipe from my mom. Ryan, I’d bet you’ve had it at some point.
Spanish tortilla

This is a Jaleo recipe that I’ve made a bunch of times. As a note – I’ve regularly been using Bermuda onions rather than Spanish ones. The problem is that eventually that means the omelet kinda turn green! But I like the taste better. Your call.
Guacamole

This is the easiest thing in the world to make if you guys are having unexpected guests…that is, if there are avocados on hand.
(as a note, if this is for a group, I usually end up at least doubling this recipe)
John’s hot sandwiches

That post title sounds dirty for some reason. Probably because I’m twelve.
These are two of John’s go-to entertaining recipes. I made them myself last night for Scrabble, and they went over really well, particularly the hot roast beef. And they’re so easy, it’s almost embarrassing to call them recipes.

This is great for any party you have during the fall or winter season.
