I like quick and easy generally, but I have been known to go to lengths. I have my favorites and my guests like them too, served with tossed salad and something light for dessert: cheeseburger casserole; beef burgundy (served with wide egg noodles); filet mignon (served either with baked potatoes or new red potatoes mashed with the skins on); cheeseburger pie (the basic recipe also makes a good breakfast casserole if made with crumbled sausage instead of hamburger); beef valencia; chicken tarragon; chili; tuna casserole. Spaghetti and meatballs, but this takes two days to make the meatballs and let them keep overnight.
What kind of meal(s) do you like to fix for another people?

Gosh, I haven't entertained in years. It's just a space issue, what with living in a trailer and all.
Last night I had some huge vegetarian prawns – made with gluten or something –from a vegetarian health food store in Chinatown. I mixed them into a mild apple-cabbage curry with a coconut-milk sauce. Festive, quick and exotic. We tend to eat "party food" most of the time, actually.
When I have both time and stamina, I like to make a ginormous meat loaf with all kinds of gewgaws on it.

I'm not a great fan of cooking period. I'm burnt out(pun intended) after too many years of cooking for a large family. Sooooooo my favorite thing to make for company is reservations at a great restaurant! It's really hard dialing that number.......

Italian, mexican. My nieghbor was sick the other day and I sent her family a penne casserole with sausage, ground beef, bacon in a tomato sauce with the middle of the dish filled with cottage cheese/mozz/parmesean. BTW, bacon seems to be the secret ingredient. Wonderful mouth feel! Oh, and apple pie and broccoli.
I make enchiladas, mexican rice for gatherings.
My hubby likes 7 bone roast/steak cooked forever(which is good, cause he is always late!!)with all the sunday dinner things with it-mashed pot., gravy, biscuits, glazed carrots (he hates them, but the rest of us love them) salad, green beans.
I would like to try more creative recipes-but my husband doesn't like so many things that it is like cooking for a nine year old. . .just past the chicken nugget stage of epicurean development.
