The Dinner Doctor

Posted: Tue Jun 05, 2007 5:05 pm **Meal Suggestions**

I am having a small (just four of us) dinner party this weekend. I'm making these Rice Stuffed Cornish Games. I think for dessert I'll make Frozen Chocolate Souffles. What do you think I should make as a vegetable? I'm debating between a simple spinach salad, and some other vegetable. I don't know what that some other vegetable is yet... Ideas?

Welcome to the board, PamelaK. Very Happy

I'm glad you found this board and decided to post.

Thank you for your suggestions. I ended up making some roasted vegetables (potatoes, broccoli, carrots, and a pack of ranch seasoning); it turned out nicely.

I like your suggestions, though. They are different than what I usually make. I'll probably have people over in another couple weeks, and I think I'll try the Salsa Salad. I especially like how the dishes are cold, especially in this summer heat!
