The Stitts boys are coming to dinner!
Okay, I'm planning the menu for us to eat tonight with the Stitts boys...long lost buddies who are coming over to hang out with us...so great to connect with them again...must make note that nothing will have artifical sweetner since Mike I believe is severly allergic...need to make fresh salad dressing...w/sugar.
Okay:
Boirson & Mushroom stuffed Chix breasts: pound out the chix breast a bit to even it out, sautee mush and chop, mix w/ cheese, s&p chix, stuff mixture into slit made in chix...lightly bread w seasoned flour/pan fry and finish in oven or in a braise on the stove top with a light pan gravy (400) for 20 min? oh and add shrimp at end.
Mashed Potato...Scott style with roasted garlic, cream and butter, do ahead a bit and keep warm on stove top
Roasted Asparagus: 450 oven: 10 min, olive oil, s&p...maybe grate parm over top when done
Green salad w/ tomato feta and almond, remake balsamic dressing w/0 artificial sweetner
Strawberries w/shortcakes and lemon whipcream...quarter and hull berries, maserate in rosewater and sugar, whip cream and add tsp lemon zest and 3 TBS powdered sugar.

Okay...we had so much fun! They brought vats of chips and salsa and yummy, healthy drinks and we ate and ate! The chicken turned out great...sorry no pictures...we ate them all too fast:) I did them on the stove top...adding a little chix stock (maybe a cup) after they were browned and covered it over very low heat. The shrimp quickly sauteed in evoo and butter with s & p...very good. I ended up making potatoes in the oven, big wedges...I think I have the recipe on here for oven fries...just follow that but larger chunked pieces. The best part was the fellowship. We've missed these guys and can't wait to meet their families, hopefully Saturday and eat again!
