I've recently been in charge of "dinners" for anywhere from 10 to 70 people!  (*Thankfully we had the 70 at a wonderful Chinese restaurant!)

In dealing with such a wide variety of people, I've learned you can never go wrong with a beautiful bowl of FRESH FRUIT! 

Seriously - so many are intimidated at throwing a dinner party yet I've found the simplest foods are often the best! 

Take a mixture of fruits - melon chunks, apples diced large, strawberries cut into halves or fourths, whole grapes, even a few segments of clementines - and you've got a beautiful dish!


At one of the last big dinners, I heard the guests vying for the last bit of mango!

I just smiled and thought,
"Successful dinner? Yes!"
