I have an poker party/vegas night theme on the 30th. Its actually a kick off show for the host...she signed last week. (yeah!)

But so far with travel, sick kiddo's and an office which is torn apart, I havent gone over recipes with Jan. Any suggestions on what might make a good Vegas theme recipe?
 
Hey Kristin,
check out the ideas for the all guys thread in this same area. Great ideas! Jamaican Jerk Nachos, beer bread & spread, wings. Yum! :sing:
 
I don't have any recipes to suggest specifically, but I think it would be fun to change the names of the dishes to more Glitzy words. Neon Berry Fizz or Poker chip pizzas....

Like your ideas, but I discussed it with Jan, and we are going to do a "Crap Shoot". I will go in with crescents and cream cheese, and make something out of what she has in her cupboards! Should be fun and interesting!

I may also do up some beer bread and dips as well too! THANKS!
