Last night a bunch of us got together to meet my niece's good friend, Kat, from Iowa.  Normally, we don't need the excuse of a new family member to get together and eat, but we were being nice letting Kat think she was the reason for strappin' on the feedbags.

And what a feed it was!!!


I made some standard fare, queso dip and guacamole (which was AWESOME, if I do say so!!) but Sister outdid herself with cheese and onion enchiladas and build-your-own beef tostadas.  We had cake and banana nut bread and pralines too, but the BEST of the sweets was Sheli's Fruit Salsa!!  My girl introduced this incredible and quite versatile dish to the family a couple of years ago and it has become as big a standard for our family gatherings as Deviled Eggs.  So far I've tried the leftovers on toast and in my salad but I'm still debating if I think it will go well on a dish of Blue Bell.
