Chili party
Keep it simple with two starters and a batch of vegetarian chili.

Autumn dinner party
Start with this seriously-impressive salad, then serve the pork and veggies together on a platter.

Good for crowds of all ages! Set out a big tray of crudité and a basket of baked tortilla chips.

All-occasion desserts
Pick a favorite (or two) to sweeten up any menu.
