We invited DH's coworker and his girlfriend over for dinner this weekend. We love them and they're both adventurous eaters. She's quite the foodie though and has lived in France for the past 18 months. I feel like I need to make something really amazing for dinner...

So, what do you make for dinner when you're trying to impress?

When I'm nervous about impressing I try to make it special...like reinventing comfort food standards. Like a garganzola mac and cheese, or doing a slider bar with all sorts of toppings, or a classic standard...like an amazing eggplant parm. If they are foodies...play up the presentation, it'll be delish and pretty.

I would probably steer clear of French food if she's been living there and is a foodie. I'd maybe buy some yummy French cheese to have as an appetizer. My favorite is Camembert. If it was me I'd make homemade gnocchi. But then I love gnocchi. Or maybe a really good lasagna.

I love beef bourguinon, lasagna (I love PW's version) or individual chicken pot pies

You could make that mushroom bourgingnon you shared last week.

Only YOU get baked Alaska :P

So DH has requested lamb, and now I'm craving coconut cream pie. Getting closer I think...

I make this really amazing gnocchi with tons of veggies (asparagus, peas, fancy mushrooms, shallots, and a clove or two of garlic), bacon, and nutmeg. I'd probably do that, and a steak with caramelized onions and blue cheese on top.
