Semi-Homemade Cooking

Any day is a perfect day for a beautiful Desert Dinner Party. Sandra's house is decked out in an exotic palm tree motif, and her recipes are just as decadent. But she made them super simple and super delicious. Your guests are going to love this dinner party! First up, Sandra's Broccoli Slaw, which is light, crispy and perfect for a party. Then, her steamy Bourbon Baked Beans, which are both sweet and smoky. On to the main course: Chili-Rubbed Pork Chops With Warm Mango Salsa—hot, spicy and simple. The dessert, Cranberry Vanilla Can Cakes, is fun to make and just as fun to eat. Then it's cocktail time! Sandra has two tropical drinks: an Oasis Martini that's tart and sophisticated, and her Palm Springs Punch, which whisks you away to the calm of the desert.
