    My family loves "Cheesy Potatoes", or "Party Potatoes":

    It is sooooo good...it's a Thanksgiving staple, but I love making it for the weekend too.  It's definitely no health food though Wink

    We usually have it instead of our potato dish (ie: mashed, baked, etc...) so usually there is a vegetable like green beans, and probably a roast chicken or turkey.  It's pretty filling, but very delicious, so you don't need much else!

    We never have people over, but I always say I'd do grilled pre-marinated turkey loin.  No one ever buys them, but they are so stinkin good.

    This was a huge hit:

    Short Rib Wellington Pot Pie: https://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/short-rib-wellington-potpie.html

    ETA: Apple crisp is ridiculously easy, inexpensive, fast, and in season

    When its nice out we do burgers a lot, I know classy ;)

    We also do ribs because DH cooks them amazingly and he also does beer can chicken.

    We are lazy cookers...

    Back in ye old pre baby days I'd have whipped up somethin fancy from one of my cookbooks or bon appetit magazines. I always liked things that would be prepped and ready to either put in the oven before people arrived/or ready for the grill in summer. This might mean a nice casserole/braise/stew dish or some such, or I might stuff a chicken or a pork loin and roast it. In summer I like to do Kebabs. Tons of possibilities and they look pretty

    For dessert I like (used to like) to make pies. Chocolate cream pie was my favorite - I use this recipe https://www.scrumptiousphotography.com/2009/04/chocolate-cream-tart-tuesdays-with.html

    About a week ago we had friends over for dinner and I made enchildas using a jar of sauce. *hangs head in shame*. For dessert, I served ice cream (NOT homemade). Sigh.
