Fall colors

Have you ever had a friend that you couldn't out do? Well I'm blessed with several like that. One of them came for dinner last evening. She surprised me with a hostess gift bag filled with the goodies pictured below

I love kitchen linens! These fall leaves are going to be a fun addition to our home. Can you already taste the pumpkin shaped cookies or bisquits? Thank you so much, Diane!!!
Are you curious what I made? Here's the menu
Crispy Parmesan Chicken strips
Herbed roasted potatoes
Colorful Veggie bake
Homemade Challah bread
Brownie Goodie bars
Our guests were very complimentary of the meal and the kids were talking about it when they woke up this morning. Cameron said he wasn't hungry yet after eating so much last night. I guess it was a success :-) It sure was fun. If you haven't had company for dinner lately put it on the calendar. It is very rewarding and fun!

I am especially enjoying Fall this year. I decorated for Fall before Ann and Jerry came, so can enjoy them for awhile. It was so fun to be with you all and other family this past week end. Just wish we could do it more often.

Can I come for dinner next? Sounds very yummy! Last week I fixed meatloaf, au gratin potatoes and green beans and Logan sits down and says "Whose coming for dinner?" Hm, I think I need to fix dinner more often!

I love to have company, it makes the food taste so much better and the atmosphere so much richer when it is shared with others. Please stop by, I have a treat for you!
