Eek. Quick cooking question-

I'm having a little V-Day party tomorrow, that involves lunch for women and kids. The kids are eating pizza, red fruit, and cookies. The moms? That's my question. I'm definitely serving gougeres, and either red fruit or strawberry spinach salad, depending on the strawberries at the grocery store. And chocolate raspberry tarts (VERY rich) for dessert.

So, lunch. Two options:

1.) Smoked chicken salad with basil Parmesan mayonnaise. Smoked chicken, cheese, proscuitto, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, and scallions with a basil parm mayo (not homemade, because one of my guests is pregnant.)

2.) Macaroni and cheese with shiitake mushrooms, corn, and bacon. Mac, cheddar cheese, shiitake mushrooms, bacon, super-sweet white corn, parsley, and cream.

I voted for the chicken salad, because I think the kids would be less likely to be pestering their moms for some than they would the mac and cheese.

Someone at work tells me that strawberry dressing is very easy to make for those strawberry type salads- just mix balsamic vinegarette with jelly. :)

I have totally done that. Well, vinegar + olive oil + raspberry jam.

This is an EXCELLENT point, and one I forget about because my kids won't go near this mac n cheese (it's not an unnatural bright yellow and doesn't come out of a blue box).

That sounds tasty. The one I use is vinegar, olive oil, sugar, paprika, salt, and shallots. It's tasty.
