| Having a couple of my girlfriends over for dinner tonight, very casual and I have no idea what to make! It has to be simple, not too many ingredients and takes maximum of 1 hour to prepare. I want to cook a starter (thinking some type of salad) and entree. I've got desert covered. Ideas please. |

| My favorite salad: beets (get them pre-cooked/peeled at Trader Joes/Giant/Costco), goat cheese, orange slices, nuts and vinagrette. |

| That sounds delicious. Thanks. Any ideas for an easy entree? Anyone? |

For casual get togethers, I love doing fish or shrimp tacos (marinate and grill or broil some fish, make guac, make/buy some different sauces and salsas to go on top, cut up some cabbage and cilantro). Serve with some good margaritas!
I've also made a great main course salad with pan-sear strip steak over arugula with pine nuts, parmesean, and a light vinegrette that is delicious. In that case, I did a soup to start and served with good crusty bread. Or do PPs salad, followed by your favorite soup and paninis with some sort of yummy filling (grilled veggies with mozzarella; turkey, arugula and a fun cheese, etc). |

| Baked chicken caprese? I drizzle chicken with olive oil & basalmic, bake. The toss a tomato, slice of mozzarella on top and let the cheese get melty then toss some fresh basil on top. Easy and yummy |

Not pp, but you could easily serve over pasta. Or, keep things simple and serve with a fresh garden salad and some garlic bread. It does sound tasty! |
