Dinner Party
I would love to have a dinner party at my house with 2 other couples. We've lived her 4 years and never really had any work friends over. The problem is we only have one oven and a fairly small kitchen and the other women are good cooks and I am not. Any suggestions on what to serve that would be easy, but impressive? Our kitchen and eating area are right in our family room, so I don't want to have too much to prep in front of our guests.

Liz,
If you like cream of tomato soup try this out. you can make it in the a.m and re-heat it in a pot before serving... http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/roasted-tomato-soup-recipe/index.html
Jer and I love to serve this at dinner parties and it is always a hit. The last dinner party we had I served this and for the main course we did leg of lamb w/ garlic mashed potatoes and a reduction sauce. It was all pretty easy and not much of a mess.
Jen I am the queen of dinner parties in small spaces!
A pork tenderloin is always super easy and good!
You could do a fabulous rub and bake it in your oven...
you can also cut up some yukon gold potatoes or fingerling potatoes and throw in a bunch of garlic and chop up some white onion (Big Chunks) drizzle some olive oil, sea salt and pepper and bake for about an hour 1/2
Salad.....mixed greens, sliced green apples, slivered almonds, goat cheeese or bleu you decide and some olive oil and balsamic with fresh minced garlic! Warm the dressing a little and it is to die for!!!
Do some french green beens in some olive oil and a little chili oil for a kick!
Ok Hope that helps if you need more ideas let me know!!! We do dinner parties with one oven in our small kitchen all the time!
