There are certainly plenty of occasions for barbecues, and picnics in the summertime. When you are invited to one of these parties, it is very common to bring along a dish to pass. Trying to figure out what to make and bring, can bring a tricky business. As a suburban mom of three, I have been to more parties, potlucks, school functions, holiday gatherings etc. than I can even recall. All of these recipes are tried-and-true crowd-pleasers, guaranteed to make your contribution the star attraction at whatever event you are attending.
½ small jar roasted red pepper, drained and chopped
4 oz. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
This one is as easy as it gets. There are two ways to prepare this, one involves a food processor, and the other is to do it by hand. If you have a food processor, you don’t need to chop anything; throw everything in a food processor and pulse until ingredients are finely chopped and combined. If you don’t have a food processor, simply chop the artichoke hearts, peppers, and green onions and combine in a bowl. Refrigerate for a minimum of two hours to let the seasonings, and ingredients blend.
Ingredients:
2 boxes cornbread mix – I highly recommend Jiffy brand
2 can creamed corn
2 can corn niblets, undrained
4 eggs, beaten
2 C. sour cream*
1 C. butter, melted
Instructions:
-Combine eggs, sour cream, butter, corn, and creamed corn in a large mixing bowl. Stir until all ingredients are well blended. Add the cornbread base and mix well.
-Pour into greased 9″x13″x2″ greased casserole dish.
-Bake in 375º oven for 40 minutes, or until center no longer jiggles when dish is shaken.

When Lakshmi Mittal and Amit Bhatia “tied the knot” they must’ve used diamond-encrusted platinum links to do the tying. One Vaux le Vicomte French chateau, 6 days of celebration, 2 wedding vows and a bunch of drunken friends later, and the newlyweds found themselves forking over $60 million for the party to end all parties.
When Elizabeth Brooks became a woman, it helped to have a father selling body armor to U.S. soldiers in Iraq. Daddy was nice enough to drop a cool $10 million on the bat mitzvah party and even flew in Aerosmith, 50 Cent, Tom Petty, Kenny G and the Eagles. This was, of course, before David Brooks was indicted for fraud and all kinds of other ugly felonies.

There have been few things in recent years that have captured the imaginations of children and adults alike, as the Harry Potter series of books and movies. We have all been drawn in by the story of the orphan who discovers he is part of a fantastic world of wizards and magic. Audiences all over the world have enjoyed the Harry Potter’s amazing journey from a young schoolboy at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, to a full-fledged hero, destined to save the world, over the course of the books. So it is no wonder that people are looking forward to the big-screen depictions of the final book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The filmmakers have decided that they can better serve the story by creating two movies out of the book, and not try to fit everything that happens into a single film. The first movie releases November 19, 2010 and the second movie, a few months later in July, 2011.
