Each Sunday after Church I make lunch for 10-12 people. The problem is I have run out of ideas. Everyone is getting a little tired of roast, briskett and chicken. What do some of you do who have large familes for Sunday Dinner?
I need help!

Dirt Cake
We went to a B'day party over the weekend and someone brought the most delicious DIRT CAKE made inside of a clean pail and used a shovel to serve it. It was so good, that most people ate too much of it and left with a tummy ache. LOL.
Serves 15
Ingredients:
Directions:
Crumble Oreos, a few at a time, in a blender or food processor. Blend pudding and milk. Blend cream cheese and cool whip; add to pudding mixture and mix well. Put a layer of crumbled Oreos into the flowerpot; add some pudding and candy worms and continue layering. Top layer of "dirt" is made of Oreo cookies with worms wriggling out.
Place flowers on top. Serves 15 to 20.
