ideas for dinner -- having friends over

I have off tomorrow and we are having a couple over for dinner.

I love to cook --- and especially since I have all day...


What are some suggestions? Will be 6 adults --- and wine, lots of wine!

stuffed shrimp

shrimp/fish oreganata

slow cooker ribs with homemade mac n cheese

Re: ideas for dinner -- having friends over

Sounds like something that slow cooks in wine would be perfect! Maybe beef bourguignon or coq au vin.

Re: ideas for dinner -- having friends over

eggplant parm or chicken parm is always a hit.

I love to do a taco night when we have friends over. Sautee up some chicken, beef and veggies, make rice and put out tortillas, cheese, lettuce and sour cream. Not too much work and everyone can choose what they want

Fondue nights are fun with groups too.

If your gong for more classy and less fun, I'd go for chicken or veal parm or maybe a London broil or a roast beef.

Thanks everyone! The last 3 times they came over we had 1)mexican night 2) stir-fry 3 ) a parm style dinner.

I think I am going to make thiscabernet short ribs with parmesean polenta
