Sangria

We had some friends over for Super Bowl, and I made this Sangria to go with the fajitas.  It was delicious.  I will be making it again.

1 bottle of red wine
1 can frozen limeade
1 can frozen Five Alive
1/4 cup sugar
Juice of a large orange

1 large orange (sliced)
1 lemon (sliced)
1 lime (sliced)

Combine wine, limeade, and Five Alive in a large pitcher or container.  Add the juice of one of the oranges and sugar (you could add more or less sugar to suite your taste).  Stir well.  Float the sliced lemon, lime, and orange in the container.  It is already cold from the frozen limeade/Five Alive, but you could add ice, if you prefer.  You could also add Sprite or 7-up to cut the taste of the wine.

Party Punch

I made this years ago for a baby shower. It is such a delicious punch! The only drawback is it is RED and will stain. Not for a young kid's party!

2 46-ounce cans Hawaiian Punch
2 cups orange juice
1 2-Liter of Cherry 7-Up
1 Package of Frozen Strawberries

Combine all ingredients in large punchbowl or pitcher. The frozen strawberries help keep the punch frozen.

Brown Sugar Fruit Dip

8 oz. package of cream cheese softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
8 oz. container sour cream
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. lemon juice
1 cup milk
3 1/2 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix

Blend cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Add remaining ingredients, mixing well. Cover and chill for at least one hour before serving. Makes 3 1/2 cups.

This is a great dip for parties with fruit skewers.
