Company is coming, Help!

I was hoping you ladies can help me.

My IL's are coming next weekend and I am wanting to make something different. I love to cook but always end up making Lasagna, Chicken Fry or Shrimp scampi.

Any recipe that you mind sharing?

TIA

    Beef stew from The Science of Good Cooking. The book is like 10 on Kindle. It's what I make when I need to impress. When it says 4 pounds of meat, use 4 pounds. Everyone goes for seconds and there are rarely leftovers. Follow the directions and ingredients list, even the weird things like anchovies. I also get the frozen Sister Shubert rolls to go with this.

    I find that cooking a good steak with a couple of great sides (easy sides: baked potatoes with options for toppings, grilled veg, garlic bread, etc.) goes a long way with company.  And, it's pretty easy.

    People don't cook steak for themselves that often, IME.

    Stew is a great idea! Pair with some yummy bread and you've got a perfect light meal that should please everyone.

    Also, I read this in Lord Eddard Stark's voice (Game of Thrones) "Brace Yourselves...Company is Coming..." You totally need a Lord Stark meme for your event....
