Basic Crepes
My husband thinks these are better than the crepe restaurant in town. I make these sweet by sub-ing in sugar and then add bananas with white chocolate sauce or peanut butter.

Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad
Really easy to make and everyone loves it. I find it a little bland if you don't add Lowery's or something...I also use cherry/grape tomatoes whole so that people can either pick them out or it won't gunk up your leftovers. Definately go with bacon bits over real bacon - the flavor comes thru more.

Sangria by the Pros
HOLY COW!!! This could very well give me a drinking problem. I revised slightly and failed to read the directions...I didn't soak for 2 hours but it was still phenomenal. I used Franzia chillable red (a box makes about 5 pitchers of this). Omitted the pineapple - love it but sounded weird for sangria. Spiced rum (way good)instead of brandy. Frozen can OJ and then just took a 1/4 chunk out and lopped it in the pitcher. 2 cans of 7up/Sprite to "smooth out" - if you plan to drink the whole pitcher pour in right away. Otherwise, as suggested (great idea) top individual drinks off so it doesn't go flat.
