There are many foods that come to mind to make for a guest that comes to my house. I don’t have a specific dinner meal or meal I make for my guest. The meals I prepare depends on who is coming over and what the occasion was. If you were to come over for a random dinner on a random day I would make a wide spread of food I would hope you would enjoy.
When you arrived, you would be offered a drink. We have different types of drinks at our home but usually have wine with dinner. We would begin our meal with an appetizer. A spicy barbecue shrimp would be the one of choice. I take 17/20 ct shrimp, sauté and simmer them in a pan with butter, lemon, crispy bacon, various barbecue spices, shallots and cabernet. Delicious.
We would then have my boyfriend and my favorite salad, a simple caeser. Fresh romaine lettuce, creamy caeser dressing, freshly grated parmesan cheese and of course, lots of fresh cracked pepper. We would move on to a perfectly grilled steak, my boyfriend’s contribution to the meal, served with garlic and pepper asparagus, homemade Mac and cheese that is creamy on the inside and crunchy from breadcrumbs and panko breading on the outside, and of course, sweet cornbread.
For dessert is my absolute favorite thing in the world, Key Lime Pie. Fresh graham cracker crust, tart center and perfectly hand-whipped cream are the greatest end to any meal, day, or even life!!
Cooking to me is a relief from my day. I get home from a long day and think how can I make this day better? Cook something new! I learned to cook from my aunt and grandmother and there are foods that I cannot help but repeat. Mac and cheese, cornbread, yams, greens, and pecan pie are foods I cannot live long without! I hope the meal I have decided to make for you have gotten your taste buds ready for a burst of flavor in every direction!
