Need a delicious dinner recipe for in laws please

My in laws (mom, dad and brother) are coming to dinner next week and I want to cook something spectacular for them.
The only condition is that it can't have mustard, ketchup, mayo or any other sauce or condiment. BBQ sauce is the only exception. (I know! Picky Picky)
Thanks for any and all suggestions!

I could never understand the concept of cooking something spectacular for in-laws. Put their food on the counter, caution them not to cut their lip on the can, and have them sleep on a futon.0

My best recommendation because we really need to know more - do they eat seafood, pork, poultry, prefer beef?
Go to pinterest. com and do a search for recipes - many low carb, lower calorie (or no restrictions) recipes there. It's not just photos! You will see the dish and be able to click through to the site with the recipe and directions.0 -
Crock pot Balsamic Pork Roast.
I made this a couple weeks ago and it was delicious. Thank you Skinnytaste.com

Unfortunately we don't BBQ in the middle of winter
It's kind of covered in snow and ice. I wish we could though! 0 -

I'm there right now. So much baking though. Hard to rifle through it all.
Any food goes. Like I said, the only condition is the condiments and sauces.0 -

If you are ever in a bind for recipes, I find foodgawker.com to be a great for finding something. You can even tailor your searches if you want chicken, beef, greek,vegan... anything really. It links you to a bunch of blogs around the web, so your options are endless.

If you make that pork dinner. For desert cut apples into quarters and roast in oven the drizzle balsamic vinegar over them. A nice 100% Agave Anejo Tequila for an adult beverage.0

When we had guests, I made the chicken cordon bleu from Skinnytaste with roasted baby potatoes and a green beens/grape tomatoes/red onion salad (with just wine vinegar and olive oil). And a horribly unhealthy but delicious apple crumble pie with ice cream for dessert.
Everything was a hit.0 -

My go to company dinner is a Pork Loin Roast, roasted baby potatos and roasted asparagas with a garden salad. Not too much effort for anything.
I tried the Skinny Taste Balsalmic Pork roast and it was really dry, maybe I overcooked it in the crockpot??
Made incredable Fish Tacos last night (Pinterest-Fitness magazine) using the battered cod from costco (150 cal a piece) and they were incredable, warm corn tortillas, cabbage, pico de gallo, sour cream/lime sauce, avocado, cheese...delish. Will be making these for company next time.0 -
Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon. Takes a few hours to make, but is very delicious and nice during winter time. The recipe is all over the Internet.0

Anything rated 5 stars from Allrecipes.com will be amazing! I've been using this site for over 8 years and have never been disappointed. Good luck!0

Love this recipe. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chili-rubbed-pork-tenderloin-with-apricot-ginger-glaze/detail.aspx
If it's too cold to grill, I've cooked it in the oven on 350 for an hour, basting with some of the sauce for the last 10 minutes or so.0 -
I used skinnytaste.com all the time and everything I have made from it has been great.0

I never cater to picky eaters... especially adults. :huh:0

so yummy, boyfriend approved. Any of her dinner recipes are fab.
I wasn't sure if the no sauce thing was a diet thing or a "they don't like it" thing. The sauce on this is fantastic!0 -

Who needs to wait "for the next time?" I think I'm gonna buy some apples at the store tonight and try this, and I don't even know what I am making for dinner!0 -

This looks very good. I would eat it but my in laws and my husband wouldn't touch it with a ten foot stick because of the sauce.0 -
