I'm embarrassed to say I served this to my fellow Jersey Italians one day when I didn't have time to make sauce from scratch and they all raved and asked for the recipe:

I claimed "Nonna's secret"


Sour cream and provolone cheese? Who knew?! Thanks. Will try it.


Anything with that much cheese HAS to be good!

Yuck.


That's so funny. I was thinking the opposite!

A nice summer plate of tomato/mozz and burgers - beef, turkey/feta, veggie - with fixings. Plus some good roasted potatoes and a cucumber salad. Maybe even a Greek pasta salad for a crowd. And lemon squares or coconut cake for dessert.

Would obviously be a summer meal but I could go for that!!!

Ziti, chicken carbonara, salad and garlic bread

Roasted or grilled flattened chicken, corn on the cob, baked beans, salad

Grilled steak, roasted veggies, salad

Chili, cornbread, salad

We entertain a lot and not super fancy but always manage to send guests away happy and asking for recipes.

What do you love to serve to guests? Either main dishes or hors de oeuvres?
