Dinner party menu ?
Comments (10)Love the retro idea Stacy..... Stuffed mushrooms are perfect as an appetizer before dinner so are bacon wrapped water chestnuts or ...are you ready...Wendy's olive cheddar nipples! Pate is great too and should be very easy to find. We like the herbed pate or the peppered pate. Cheese ball is also perfect. Oh and don;t foregt chips and dip...using sour cream and French onion soup mix with a shot of Worcestershire's as the dip! As a first course escargot is very retro and perfect with your entree. Then again and old fashioned shrimp cocktail would be perfect too. Hang the shrimp off a glass filled with the shrimp sauce! French Onion soup is very retro too but may be too filling....but sooooo good with something like Wellington! Make small bowls! Bonus you get to use your brown sauce! LOL One of the sides with Wellington would have to be twice baked potatoes. I'd do asparagus as the other. PS: for real fun have Harvey Wallbangers or Singapore Slings for drinks before! LOL Here is my recipe for stuffed mushrooms. Can't recall if I served them to you. Stuffed Mushrooms 20 large white mushrooms 1/3 Cup butter (maybe a bit more) 4 or 5 green onions chopped fine 2-2 1/2 cups grated cheddar 1/3 Cup bread crumbs salt Clean mushrooms and carefully remove stems. Chop stems finely (I use the food processor). Melt butter in a saute pan. Saute mushroom stems and onions over medium heat until soft but not browned and the stems have given up their juices. Mixture should be quite moist. Add the bread crumbs, only enough to absorb the liquid. Add the grated cheese and stir just until it has melted. Don't worry if the oil separates from the cheese.Stuff the mixture into the caps and sprinkle with a bit of salt (or you can salt after they come out of the oven...which is what I usually do). Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes or until the caps are nice and soft....See MoreMy Menu For My Birthday Dinner

Comments (23)Sorry folks, I wasn't recommending any specific recipes other than the zuni café chicken which has had cult-love for the technique (salt brining + high heat cooking) and the bread salad with pine nuts and currants. I only posted the other photos for examples of "rustic elegant" plating of the simple chicken. That said, BFelton, I learned to make lemon roasted chicken when I was 14 and had an after school job preparing dinner recipes for a neighbor. Love roasted lemon. I just can't imagine how that recipe could go wrong. I love halibut-- in fact, we were just talking about it on Christmas Eve. My nephew was in from his NOAA ship in Alaska (currently ported for the winter in Oregon). He'd shipped in Dungeness crab for the family but we also talked of our shared love of halibut. It is sooo expensive here-- more so now because it's out of season until the spring-- but such a wonderful and versatile fish. Your dinner sounds wonderful, Mtn.. the platter of lentil salad is just so beautiful. With the wonderfully earthy flavors of roasted beets and carrots and the butternut ravioli, you've conceived a great, healthy twist on "surf and turf"!...See MoreTried and true dinner menus for group of ten at lake cabin please
Comments (34)As far as drinks, since you've gotten lots of food help, my go-to is always Bobby Flay's sangria or a winter sangria using pomegranite juice. I also enjoy Ina Garten's pitcher of margaritas, and apple pie moonshine is fun and super easy to make way ahead of time (can be consumed as is or my preference is to add a splash of diet ginger ale to cut the sweetness). There are tons of recipes for that online. I just made some yesterday to serve at the holidays. A quart jar of the moonshine is also a fun gift. Edited to add we are also enjoying a cheater paloma using tequila and Fevertree Sparkling Pink Grapefruit....See Morecynic
