Easy-peasy, Good-Enough-for-Company Recipes

party invitationsThe highest honor Dad could bestow on Mom when she tried out a new dish for dinner was to declare it “good enough for company”.  Well we’ve got a few recipes that meet the “good enough for company” test too, but here are four recipes that also distinguish themselves with two other important characteristics to make them perfect party dishes:

  1. They’re “good enough for the kids” AND
  2. They use fewer than 6 ingredients

We deliberately chose these recipes for their crowd appeal as party dishes. This fall, send out your party invitations knowing you’ve got a dish or two ready to go.
