Planning a Holiday Luncheon: Delicious Recipes & Ideas

I am having a meeting tonight with other people who are on a food committee with me trying to plan a luncheon that follows a church event--a Christmas craft workshop put on by the women in my church. I am looking for elegant dessert recipes and possible sides to go with soup served in bread bowls. I would like pictures of them, if at all possible.So far I have: taffy apple tartlets, peppermint fudge cookie sandwiches, and the new recipes for "homemade for the holidays" all with pictures. So if anyone has any other recommendations w/ or w/o pictures, could you share with me please?Thank you for your suggestions. I will definitely check them

Thought I'd follow up that the committee loved the idea of the Choc. PB Cup Torte, and the Taffy Apple Tartlets, so I'm going to be making those. I'm also going to be making bread bowls for at least 50 people!:eek: Others on the committee are making other things and it all sounds like it's going to be very nice. Thanks for your ideas everyone. :)

One of my close PC friends made it for my open house (isn't that nice!!!). It's the microwave cake that's in the SB. :)
