Housewarming Party menu

I want to host a houswarming party for my co-workers in my new house at the end of the month.

What can I serve that is easy, good to sit out or be in warming trays but wouldnt have DH slaving over the grill all day?

Its probably going to be around 20-30 people in and out over a few hours.

if you're going to do hor d'ouerves, i love this baked brie recipe. super easy and tasty:

ingred:
wheel of brie
1/2 cup pecans
maple syrup
brown sugar

bake brie for 20 minutes @ 350. Take out of oven and put pecans in for 10-15 minutes. Pour pecans on top of brie. in a pan, combine and heat 3 tablespoons of syrup w/ 2 tablespoons brown sugar. It will bubble in a few seconds, take off the stove immediately and pour.

so yummy!!!

1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
1 large tomato, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 bunch chopped green onions
1 small head iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese




DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, blend the taco seasoning mix and refried beans. Spread the mixture onto a large serving platter.
Mix the sour cream and cream cheese in a medium bowl. Spread over the refried beans.
Top the layers with salsa. Place a layer of tomato, green bell pepper, green onions and lettuce over the salsa, and top with Cheddar cheese. Garnish with black olives.
