Picnic Planning

I have decided to have a Memorial Day picnic at my new place and invite my whole family over. I love party planning, so I am super excited. The only downside to this is all the cleaning that is involved! Luckily, I have an amazing boyfriend who always wants to pitch-in and help! :)

It took me awhile to decide on the menu, but after doing some research on the Internet I think I finally came up with an easy menu, which I think is going to be very delicious! Here it is:

Hamburgers/Cheeseburgers (given)
Hot dogs (with chili and cheese)
Potato Casserole (also known as cheesy potatoes)
Macaroni Salad
BLT dip
Watermelon
Nick's specialty dessert

I found the recipe for the BLT dip on kraft's food website. It seems to be inexpensive and the picture made it look wonderful! Here is the recipe:

1 pkg. cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup tomatoes (they suggest grape or cheery cut in halves)
1/2 cup real bacon bits

*Place cream cheese on plate and microwave for 45 sec. - 1 minute or until warm
*After, top with remaining ingredients

I am really excited to try it, I am totally an appetizer lover! Have a great memorial day weekend!
