Let's post our favorite dinner party recipes. I just had all my BP over to watch the video and I had and Italian themed party. We played the mob hits cd's (which are very fun) and here was my menu:
Apps: Brushetta Spinach and Articoke Dip
Dinner: Ceasar Salad Hot Bread Chicken Marsala Rigatoni with italian sausage, green and red peppers and onions in a light red sauce.
Dessert: Homemade tiramisu and mini-canolis Gelato (Italian ice cream) Coffee
Share your dinner party ideas!

I make a killer cheesecake (a few actually). I also make a good lasgna and pot roast (not together). I love stuffed breads and dips as apps.
What is the homemade canolis recipe? I have never made those before.

Re: On the topic of food again...
It depends on what type of party I'm having. I have a antipasta/mezes/tapas party which is fun: Spinach Pie (spanikopita triangles) Hummus Baba Ganoush w/Pita Shrimp with tequila, lime sauce bruschetta antipasta (salami, cheese, olives, etc) roast potatoes w/ home made garlic mayo.. (so good) sliced london broil w. red wine reduction italian white bean salad
Or I do the italian thing that I can do in my sleep:
Tossed Salad Antipasta, same as above stuffed mushrooms Fresh Marinara Sauce w/ Meatballs and Sausage escarole or broccoli rabe
sfinge for dessert (sorta like a zeppoli but made w/ riccota)
doreen...can you have a party for us LIW girls? I'd love to eat that menu!!
I usually make Brushetta, spinich dip, Spanish meatballs (not much different than Italian), fried calimari, fried chorizo and I love pigs in the blanket with hebrew national 99% FF dogs and crescent rolls!!
they are all pretty simple...thats what I like best

Michele, I found a store here in Texas that sells the canoli shells from Ferara's bakery in Little Italy. All that is in the creme is ricotta cheese, confectionary sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla and a dash of cinnamon. I also added chocolate chips. The recipe was actually on the canoli shell box. And they were delicious...like the bakery! My next project will be to make a cake with the canoli fillind now that I know the recipe.

Brunch - I LOVE brunch!
Mimosa & Bloody Mary's Spinach and feta omelets Western omelets Whole grain and nut pancakes Belgian Waffles topped w/fresh fruit Ham steaks Roasted potatoes and/or homefries Quiche Lorraine Fresh sweet breads like date nut bread, banana bread, apple cinnamon bread, cranberry orange, etc.
To me, just about anything is great for brunch...it all depends on what you like.
