Maybe you should plan on an extra 20 or so, Janet!

Mine typical recipe includes toasted chopped pine nuts or almonds, a little red pepper, cracked black pepper, onion, dill, mint, fresh garlic, tinyu pinch of cinnamon, some minced caper along with the rice and lemon, etc. There's a local winery that sells brined organic leaves and they are much fresher tasting than the jarred variety. I also add some chopped tomatoes to the cooking liquid for a little more punch. All in all, it works out pretty well.

Yours will taste AWESOME!

It all sounds great. i would go with the menu you have planned, Janet. My stuffed grape leaves contain lamb, no nuts, but yours also soud lovely.

I too think what Janet has decided on, sounds FANTASTIC. I like to do "finger food" night of just appetizer-sized food. Some of my favorites are from Jaden's Steamy Kitchen (I keep forgetting to try her recipe for salted caramel covered dipped strawberries).

Oh those berries look amazing! Not practical for me in the heat but I'm saving that link for next time - great idea.

No kidding! There are several of her appys that I want to try, but those strawberries are sooooo tempting looking. I'd probably serve as dessert, maybe on a stick...like a caramel apple.

Crunchy Noodle Salad *Award Winning* Recipe - Food.com - 136834

A crunchy Asia-y type salad. You don't have to microwave the sesame seeds or almonds.
Serve slices of cheese for protein on the side if you don't feel ham slices would be safe in the heat.

I haven't made it yet, so can't verify how good it is but I will try it soon.

I've had several variations of this, and made it myself years ago. I loved it, sadly, DH didn't.
