We are having a small dinner party Friday. Below is the menu, with copious amounts of wine included.
Steak and chicken shish kebabs
Grilled veggie skewers
Rice pilaf
flatbread
garlic sauce (just made this yesterday....house still smells like garlic)
I was planning on hummus, tzatziki and veggies and flatbread to munch on before. Maybe grilled shrimp with cocktail sauce.
Since the local peaches are in, dessert is either peach pie or cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Either that, or baklava by the local Med place. It’s $$$ but really good. I think I have just talked myself into the baklava....it’s easier!
I keep going back and forth about adding a salad, but already have both grilled and raw veggies. A salad seems overkill.

Salad does seem like overkill. The peaches sound delicious. If you are cooking all that, outsource the dessert.

No salad. Personally, I would be so full on the apps and kebabs I wouldn't even touch dessert. But then I love all things Mediterranean. Heck, I might not make it past the hummus, veggies and flatbread.

I am to the point that if I can not cater it, it is not going to happen. But yes to the salad when I was in my keto diet salads were important you just never know you is on a diet. I am currently on maintenance and have a salad before or with every meal.

I like the idea of baklava for dessert.

Tabouli would be nice but not required. A good menu.

We have wine, wine and more wine. These are our Thursday drinking friends and wine must be on the menu. Sparkling water, lemonade and soda if wine not wanted, but I am seriously hoping we can drink enough wine to get some of these cases of wine off the floor and onto the rack. |
