     We have people over for dinner quite often, whether it is family or friends who are like family or people we are just getting to know.  When I have the same people over very often, I have to change up what I cook, but when I am having people over for the first time, there are a few menus that I go to for "company meals."  Now that my girls are all off living on their own, I asked them what meals they like to serve when they have friends over.  We came up with a nice variety of choices! Some can be served a little nicer, but many lend themselves to more informal, comfortable, and delicious nights of food and gathering together.  So, today for Friday Faves the question is: 
What do you like to serve company for dinner? 
  1. The hands down favorite around here is Taco Night.  I don't think I have ever shown you guys how I make tacos, I make them just like my mama used to.  I stand at the stove and cook them up hot while everyone puts on toppings buffet style around the island.  We will have to do a video or a Facebook live one of these days because my tacos are pretty darn good and it is a fun way to eat dinner as well as have fun and conversation! 
     2.  Coming in at a close 2nd to taco night is Green Chili Burro night.  This one involves a roast in          a crock-pot and once again all of the Mexican toppings.  Plus, there is usually rice and beans to           go along with it.  Maybe some Guacamole.  If we are having a large crowd, I sometimes serve             both tacos and burritos.

      3.  Lasagna is always a great crowd pleaser and you can serve a lot of people with it and some                  salad.  Alicia shared her recipe for the Best Lasagna Ever awhile back.  And Lindsey made a                   Zucchini  Lasagna here.  Now I am really hungry for lasagna just thinking about it! 
     4.  Along those Italian lines, Lindsey and Maddy both like Spaghetti!  Lindsey likes to be able to                  toss the sauce in the crock pot and Maddy can make it without meat.  Lindsey may even                      serve it over spiralized zucchini. 
     5.  Stuffed Shells are similar to Lasagna, but maybe a little fancier?  They are a favorite of                             Lindsey's. 
​     6.  Speaking of crock-pots, they can really help relieve the stress of getting food made and the                house straightened for company at the same time!  Or, if you work the day that company is                  coming, you can just throw something in it in the morning and it will be delicious and ready by            the time you get home.  One of my favorite go-to meals, and my family's favorites is this                      Chicken Casserole that I showed in the crock-pot, but often make in the oven as well.                        People always love it. 
​          I am still just learning how to use my Instant Pot, or I am sure that I would have recipes on                   here for using it, too.

​6.  The final thing that we love to serve is grilled burgers, my husband's favorite!  Practice and                   find the method that you love when it comes to grilling burgers, add all of the toppings and                   some good sides and you will be set!
