With all of the graduation parties coming up I bet you
could use some grad-pleaser snacks. Well this TACO DIP
PLATTER recipe that is so versatile for any gathering is
another of my favorites. Although nothing new, this is
just one of those old no-cook standby recipes that are
also great whith the warmer weather time. It also travels
well to bring-along functions. I sometimes jazz it up by
placing either blue corn or green guacamole tortilla chips
in a colorful napkin-lined basket for a "homey" effect.
A great little tip is that it isn't always what you cook
or prepare....but how you present it that makes all the
difference. I know some kids that can make a meal out of
this stuff!


Enjoy!

GRADUATION PARTY IDEA:

No matter what the age of the graduate, here's an idea that
is perfect for any graduations:

Cover a wall with seamless paper and allow guests to leave
messages, clever doodles, or creative outlines of themselves
for the guest of honor. A really fun keepsake! Start by
creating a message of welcome or a greeting to the guest of
honor on the sign prior to the party. The graduate can clip
the doodles and messages after the party and preserve them
in a scrapbook.
