Food and Friends

We invited some friend's of ours over for dinner on Sunday, and things went very well. Everyone seemed to enjoy everything, and I don't think anyone left with an empty stomach. I think the "salad bar" that I created went over extremely well. That is something I'll have to do one day when I have children. Being able to pick and choose what you would like in your salad makes things so much better. No husband, you cannot have a salad of just bacon :)

I really liked the grilled chicken as well. It was very flavorful and smelled wonderful. I got the recipe from the Weight Watchers cookbook, Simply Delicious.

Grilled Herb Chicken (yields 4 servings, 4 points a serving)

2 tblsp oregano
1 tblsp thyme
1 tblsp rosemary
2 tsp olive oil
4 chicken breasts

In a small bowl mix the herbs and oil. Rub the mixture onto the chicken breasts. Grill the chicken approximately 4 minutes on each side. May take longer depending on thickness of chicken.

This is a great grilled chicken, and we ended up with leftovers (bonus!). I think I'll be adding the chicken to the leftover salad we have for a really great lunch to take to work with me. We also had a little leftover fruit salad, which I plan on using as a side when I make breakfast for dinner this week. However, If the fruit salad makes it that long I will be surprised. The husband has tried to eat it for snack, breakfast, and lunch so far. If it can just make it to dinner I'll be doing well :)

I really think I should have dinner parties more often. I have so much fun planning a menu and implementing everything. It's great!
