We had already passed out party invitations for Saturday, when I found out my mom would be having emergency surgery on her broken hip on Saturday morning.
.
Mom came through the surgery just fine! We are so thankful.
.
I spent my morning at the hospital with her and around lunch quickly ran home and started getting the party food together.
.
I had already planned the menu along with Brooklyn and we had everything ready to go. My hubby made the Tuna Sandwiches while I was at the hospital and Brooklyn made the Ham Rolls the night before.
.
Everything turned out to be delicious!
.
Our Menu:
Cocktail Weiners
7 Layer Mexican Dip and chips
Tuna Sandwiches
Ham Rolls (will share recipe soon)
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries (these were yummy!)
Skillet Cake with pourable Chocolate Icing
...oOo...
So on to the 7 Layer Mexican Dip recipe!
This is my first time making it and believe me, I will make it again!
Combine the refried beans and taco seasoning. Spread on a large plate or tray.
.
Spread the combined sour cream and cream cheese over the bean layer.
.
Spread the combined salsa or picante sauce ove the cream cheese/sour cream layer.
.
Spread shredded lettuce over the salsa layer.
.
Finally, top with shredded cheese and chopped green onions. Grab some chips and dig in!
