So there is an office party tomorrow and I really want to impress my fellow employees and manager:)i signed up to bring fruit but i realized that was just boring and uncreative and now i am kind of getting excited to bring something special and original but have no idea what to bring/make! I spent an hour already googling and havent found anything that hit me! i want something delicious, creative, yet simple and fun and OF COURSE HEALTHY!!!!!!!!!! :D perhaps something fruity?!
oh and i cant bring "special brownies" lollllll

some people are bringing: meatballs, spinach dip, rice bowls, cookies, muffins, hummus etc. I want mine to be the talk of the town i dont mean to sound so weird lol!

the problem is: I dont have a kitchen where i live so I wont be able to actually cook anything! i can only 'create' if I buy the right ingredients :)

pleaseeee help me out friends!!!

    bonus:

    If you want it to be a nice presentation you can peel then half a melon or cantelope cut side down on platter and poke holes in... and after making kabobs just insert in holes once you get there ..looks nice :smile:

    What about a mango salsa with "Food Should Taste Good" multigrain chips?

    Or some other kind of fruit salsa like this one? http://skinnychef.com/recipes/tropical-salsa

    Make a fruit salad, include watermelon, cut it about an inch or two off-center longways, hollow it out with a melon baller and put the completed fruit salad in the hollowed out melon rind.

    I think some kind of salsa would be a great idea! I had some watermelon salsa recently, and it was amazing! I'm sure there are lots of recipes online for it.
