ย Queso Crazy
Everyone has a different way to make queso.
For as long as I can remember, I have brought My Queso as one of my staple party dishes. And I never bring it home… never.
My friend Krista has her cream cheese and cream soup version.
Tina has a Velveeta version with all kinds of mix-in options that would be easy to convert to crockpot.
Heather has a Pleasing Pizza Dip along those same lines.
Sheri has this oh-my-yumย Chili Cheese version!
Meatball Madness
Meatballs are another party planning staple. I have made them a million different ways and they are a hit everytime!
My Easy Party Meatballs were my go-to for years and are still secretly my favorite… shh… don’t tell the other recipes!
Brandie’s Party Meatballs add a little BBQ twist!
These Tangy Pineapple Meatballs are a party-goer favorite a bit different than the expected meatball fare.

My guests flipped over these French Onion Meatballs last year and they REALLY couldn’t be easier to make.
These Sweet & Tangy Meatballs are just that… a little sweet and a little tangy and just perfect!
