well depending on how long it takes them to eat this you could do the cream cheese with one (or both) of the new sauces! Several hours should be fine for that and it's so good! Bread and oil dipping seasonings? I wasn't sure if you wanted something more lunch type or just a snack. Trifle recipe is good also...dessert or even a layered salad?
