Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee: Desert Dinner Party
 

From the Food Network web site:

Desert Dinner Party

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.

Because nothing says desert food to me more than mangos, cranberries,
and baked beans.
