<br><br>
<br><br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL 
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>Hi, Hungry Girl!
<br><br>
<br><br>My friends and I decided we're going to have a Hungry Girl dinner party -- 
<br><br>each of us will prepare and bring a Hungry Girl dish. I was wondering if you 
<br><br>have any recipe suggestions for appetizers, main dishes, sides, desserts, 
<br><br>etc., that are "dinner-party-worthy." You know, a little more special than the 
<br><br>average menu! Thanks so much!
<br><br>
<br><br>Party Girl  
<br><br> 
<br><br> 
<br><br>Dear Party Girl,
<br><br>
<br><br>That is a GREAT question, and it really made me think. OK... I'm going to list 
<br><br>some of my favorites here. A bunch can be found on the site or in our first 
<br><br>book, and some are brand-new recipes from Hungry Girl 200 Under 200. 
<br><br>That book has entire chapters of recipes that are great for parties, like Start 
<br><br>Me Up! (appetizers), Dip It Good (dips and dippers), and Yo, Cupcake! (duh, 
<br><br>cupcakes). Here goes...
<br><br>
<br><br>Appetizers - De-Pudged Pigs in a Blanket, Four-Cheese Stuffed-Silly 
<br><br>Mushrooms, and Mmmm-azing Mini Mushroom Tartlets are all GREAT. Plus, 
<br><br>they travel pretty well, so you can easily make 'em in advance.
<br><br>
<br><br>Main Courses - I LOOOOOVE So Low Mein w/ Chicken, EZ Tomato Basil 
<br><br>Chicken, Saucy BBQ Seafood Skewers, and Crazy-Good Turkey Taco 
<br><br>Meatloaf -- all REALLY delicious. In fact, I recently went to a party where 
<br><br>they served Turkey Taco MEATBALLS made from our meatloaf recipe!
<br><br>
<br><br>Sides - My all-time favorite may be the 2-Good Twice-Baked Potato. I also 
<br><br>love the Portabella Skins (a.k.a. Skinny "Skins") and Miracle Mashies.
<br><br>
<br><br>Desserts - Go for the Death by Chocolate Cone Cakes. Only 93 calories 
<br><br>each, and they are SO GOOD (and so good-looking!). Or whip up some 104-
<br><br>Calorie Creme Brulee if you're feeling adventurous. YUM!
<br><br>
<br><br>OK, now I am STARVING. Hope your dinner party is a success -- let me 
<br><br>know where it is and maybe I'll crash it! :)
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>  
<br><br> 
<br><br> 
<br><br> 
<br><br>HG,
<br><br>
<br><br>I've got a recipe Q for you. Over time, do you ever change your recipes at 
<br><br>all or make little tweaks that actually improve them?
<br><br>
<br><br>Just Curious  
<br><br> 
<br><br> 
<br><br>Dear Just Curious,
<br><br>
<br><br>So weird that you asked -- this just happened to us! We were making our 
<br><br>(ridiculously delicious) H-O-T Hot Boneless Buffalo Wings for an Extra 
<br><br>segment, and we realized we mistakenly purchased plain Pringles instead of 
<br><br>the Barbecue ones (oops!). I decided to use BBQ Popchips in place of the 
<br><br>Pringles -- we always have bazillions of bags of Popchips on hand, since we 
<br><br>love them so much. The wings turned out better than EVER. That sort of thing 
<br><br>happens from time to time. Another example is our Chicken Pot Pockets -- 
<br><br>I've been making those with more chicken these days (because I am a 
<br><br>maniac for protein). And we're always trying out new ways to make our 
<br><br>Bake-tastic Butternut Squash Fries as crispy as possible. (Click & scroll for 
<br><br>our latest tips!) The lesson here is that recipes are living, breathing things 
<br><br>that can change. Okay, that is a TOTAL lie -- they don't breathe at all and 
<br><br>they aren't alive. But they can definitely change! And I encourage you to 
<br><br>tweak 'em and put your own touch on them, if that's your style. Do YOU have 
<br><br>a cool spin on an HG recipe? Click here to tell us about it. Have fun cooking!
