We're hosting our House Warming/Engagement party in two weeks. We bought our house in November and got engaged in February. We wanted nice weather, and a chance to get the house really nice looking before we had extended family over. I'm really excited to host a big family gathering for the first time because I am a first time home owner. Everyone that has RSVPed offered to bring a dish. I was really excited to do all the food myself, but it's fine that people want to bring things. However, since this is my first time hosting, I would like to make something that will stand out. We're supplying meat for the BBQ and I'm making bride and groom cake pops. But I would like to make an appetizer or something that will wow everyone. Any ideas ladies?
