Would You Want to Come Eat at My House??

[kittyriot]

My Dad's birthday is this Saturday. He wants no present, just time together. So we're going to cook dinner at our house and be together as a family. I am tired, but I want to do something nice, so this what I was thinking as the menu (easy, but still somewhat special...)?

Baked chicken with white wine and herbs - simply-delicious-food.com/2014/06/12/chicken-baked-white-wine-garlic-herbs/



Bousin mashed potatoes - www.food.com/recipe/boursin-mashed-potatoes-135549



Green beans with lemon and garlic - www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/patrick-and-gina-neely/green-beans-with-lemon-and-garlic-recipe.html


If I was serving this, would you want to come over, or does this just look like regular everyday dinner???

It's a fancier version of anything I would make, since I usually just roast stuff w/ olive oil and spices. I'd eat all of that!!

[kittyriot]

Thanks for the reply @bunannie - I have some standard meals I do for guests, but all my special recipes I have used a couple of times each on my parents. But like I mention, I am tired and I am not sure I have anything super complicated in me. But I also want to make my Dad feel special and I don't want to lose that aspect of it.

I'm picky and I would eat all of that.

[rainbowsockmonkey]

I really really want to make that chicken recipe. You will have to let us know how it turns out.

[kittyriot]

I will report back on the recipe rainbowsockmonkey ! And I am soooo going to be lazy about dessert aimeefarrahfowler Dad loves pie, his favourite is lemon meringue, there's a place in town that does great pie - so I'll pick one up there.

Oooop, yes, meant to update people!! Dad loved it, and it all turned out wonderfully. Anyone interested in trying these recipes - go for it! Totally delish and they were super easy!

[becole]

Glad you had a good time!

[kittyriot]

Here's a pic of the table. My brother took a few (don't mind me looking awful). I regretted not taking some decent shots of the food. I meant to.

[becole]

I love those chairs!

[kittyriot]

Thanks. We bought it from the guy we purchased our first house from. It was re-finished antique. He redid the chairs. Even though it reduces the value of the pieces, I don't really care because the chairs are beautiful!
