MENU OF THE WEEK #5


Welcome to the middle of another week and Menu of the Week. I don't know about where you live, but our weather is dipping into the 30's at night and the down comforter is back on the bed. Last weekend was our annual neighborhood block party, a sure sign for all of us that the summer is over. We always plan one more official gathering before we head inside for a few months. But that doesn't mean we need to forget our friends, it will just take a little more planning. Today's menu is perfect for that. A quick trip to the market with this shopping list and you're set to invite a few people over for dinner. There is no need for prepping anything ahead and, in fact, the best part may be that the recipes are easy enough to have everyone into the kitchen to help -- especially for an extra special dessert treat. So don't hibernate until spring -- pull out this delicious menu and invite your friends to meet inside for a warm and cozy dinner.

Don't forget - just one more day to enter the cookbook giveaway on Thursday! Leave a comment on the cookbook giveaway post from Thursday, October 23, and you could win a brand new copy of The Coastal Living Cookbook. Tell me about your favorite cookbook and I may just send you one of mine.

Your menu sounds great! I never know what to serve for company since these days with so many crazy diets out there you never know what people will or will not eat!

yum!! I actually had the asparagus last night, with steak and button mushrooms...could really stand to have some more of that bananas foster, but the last time I tried it, I nearly set the kitchen on fire...
