I really loved reading the comments on last weeks question. I've already tried one of the recipes (and loved it!) and can't wait to try the others. For this week's question I'm going to turn it over to you guys! Is there a question you'd like to get some input on? If someone has a good lasagna recipe? What's your cheapest meal? What do you make when you're having company over?... Feel free to post your own if you have one and if not feel free to just answer this one. (As I was typing those sample questions I noticed that I really do need advice on one of them)
What do you like to make when you have company over? We're feeding my parents and in-laws this week and I'm trying to figure out what to make...
You guys are the best! I hope you have a great week!
Love,
Shelly
I love all your questions! haha So I'll let you come up with them and keep posting and I'll just wait for the answers.
ReplyDeleteWhen we have company over I like to go with something that I don't have to prepare a lot so I can either have it pretty much ready when they show up and be able to visit before we eat. So of course I go with anything in the crockpot. These are two are the favorites!
Itailain or Ranch Chicken over rice or mashed potatoes
4 Chicken Breasts
1 Packet of zesty italain dressing mix (or Ranch)
8 ounces of cream cheese softened
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
Place everything in the crockpot on low for 4-5 hours. If sauce is too thick add milk and serve over pasta, rice or potatoes.
Cafe Rio Salad (I'm sure you and everyone has this recipe)
I'm awful at hosting, so I'll just read answers :)
ReplyDeleteI love any kind of crockpot meat with company coming over. I like the Italian chicken in the crockpot. I have never tried ranch dressing it sounds good. I like ribs in the crockpot as well.
ReplyDeleteI like doing meals that can be made earlier in the day. I like to make my lasagna (your mom's veggie or any regular) the night before or morning of. That way you don't have to cook the noodles. Then 1 hour before it's time to eat I pop the lasagna in the oven. I also like anything in the crockpot like was already mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI also like to do the salad in advance - it can usually always be combined except the dressing.
I also like to have dessert made in advance. I usually have some apple pie filling on hand and some pie crusts in the freezer, so that's easy to assemble and bake. Or, chocolate chip cookie dough can be kept in the fridge for a couple of days and baked the night you want it. We love doing it phizookie style in a pie or pizza dish then adding some ice cream. Yum!
