Your fiends are a hungry hunch and coming to your place for dinner tonight, you can have all the ingredients and conditions you want, does not need to be healthy either.

Create a three course menu and impress your friends.

Prepare your menu as you would in a restaurant, give your dishes interesting names and include a brief description of it or ingredients to help your friends.

    Salads/Appetizers: Bruschetta with my homemade sourdough bread and/or cowboy caviar (bean n tomato salsa) with the hint of lime Tostitos (It's the stupidestly easy thing, but it tastes so good!)...Israeli salad (Cucumber and tomato)

    Main Course: Jerk Seitan (for people who like heat) and Jamaican Curry Seitan (for people who don't)...Mac n Cheese...homemade dinner rolls or Johnnycake (carribean fried flatbread)...roasted Brussel sprouts and broccoli...candied yams

    Dessert: SO many options (I'm a baker) -- Probably my blueberry lemon cake or lemon pound cake.

    Are you counting beer as dessert or starter :)

    @xzsharp Come on over; I would love to make it. It would probably be a three day ordeal, but cooking's my favorite (Buddy from ELF voice).

    You actually helped me. I've eventually got to cook for my husband's family -- I was drawing blanks until I wrote that all out.

    @jbirdgreen unless you are in London I won't have the pleasure of tasting your cooking :)

    Ah well I am glad I helped and thanks for the inspiration, I want Cowboy salsa for tomorrow lunch:)

    Woman of my heart! That is a top chef level menu and layout, could pull it off even in masterchef! Very healthy and balanced dinner too.

    Because I'm a southern gal...

    Welcome to Kristi's Kitchen...

    Southern Fried Chicken wings - chicken is seasoned and left to marinate in my special seasonings for about 3 hours, dipped in flour and then a buttermilk and egg wash and back in the flour, fried until golden brown

    Shrimp and Broccoli Pasta - Shrimp and Broccoli tossed in my homemade butter and garlic sauce place on a bed of Angel hair pasta

    Chocolate Brownies and Vanilla Ice Cream - Top with Whip cream and chocolate sauce :)

    and then its nap time :)

    Starter spot on! Can have them for main all day long :)

    Nothing tops home made pasta! Specially rolling yourself.

    Vanilla ice cream, simple yet so powerful

    I can try the dessert. Got an idea on how to make it but I can't promise it'll look like this.. The chicken breasts however are my speciality :D

    Hummingbird cake is an old old southern tradition:

    Fried green tomatoes are wonderful! Hardest part is tracking down the green ones...
