dinner for guests?
What is your go-to dinner idea for when you are entertaining or have guests staying at your house?
Re: dinner for guests?
In the summer I like to grill- steaks, baked potato, green beens/squash, salad. If it's a bigger group or money is tighter I'll do chicken kabobs, rice, and salad.
More wintery- pork tenderloin or roast chicken, sweet potato rounds, broccoli, and rolls. If it's something where we'll be gone all day I'll put a roast in the crock pot. It's very rare I don't have a homemade lasagna in the freezer so that's another go to.
Pulled pork, italian beef, or a pasta bake of some sort.
Since it's summer, you could grill out, chicken, pizzas, pork chops, steaks, grilled veggies, etc!
Lasagna, garlic bread and salad...mmm! It's easy (well easy enough, lol), tasty, looks impressive and leaves the house smelling amazing!! Then again if it's summer, depending on how many people are coming by and what time of day I'm cooking, I might just make something on the grill.....burgers/hot dogs, sausase with peppers and onions or steak and baked potatoes.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
Chicken Marsala (super easy and impresses guests) or lasagna.
And apple spice cake for dessert: all my friends rave about this, so no one remembers if I mess up dinner.

Orecchiette (sp?) with cream sauce, spicy sausage and spinach with some store bought artisan bread. Looks and tastes like a million bucks (especially a "different" kind of noodle shape) but is SO easy!
I've also had good results with steak, bbq chicken and crock pot roast beef (the one with cream of mushroom soup in it) with things like asparagus and rice pilaf.
