I need some ideas for a party we're having this weekend.
My mom is coming in town. She and her husband are low-carbers :rolleyes.
We are primarily veg, but occasionally eat free range/natural chicken and we do eat some shrimp.
My aunt and uncle (who we see once a year and she's a SPECTACULAR hostess/cook) are omni. Their daughter is SUPER picky (but I'm not exactly going to make her the standard hot dogs that she's used to - or chicken nuggets :sick)
So - what would you make?
I thought about making some kind of crock pot mexican shredded chicken, with tortillas and all the toppings (fresh guacamole that I make, homemade pico de gallo, etc). But, I don't know... I'm not confident about that as a spectacular meal for this group, kwim? But, my Mom and her husband LOOVE Mexican food (they had a mexican fiesta for their rehearsal dinner last summer) so that seems like a natural choice.
Any ideas on how to fancy this up a bit?
I might also make those edible salad shells.
Oh - plus I need a dessert idea.
Thanks for any insight!
