Company is Coming

Some friends are coming over for dinner tonight. I am not hosting Thanksgiving at my house this year, so this is kind of a little side celebration - a chance to have a glass of wine and relax in the company of people we hold dear.

The Menu

Green salad made with arugula from the balcony
Butternut squash soup
Twice baked potatoes (with goat cheese)
Stuffed and rolled chicken breasts made with kale (also from the balcony), a variation on this recipe
Apple, pear and cranberry crumble with vanilla ice cream

The soup, chicken and potatoes are made and waiting in the fridge until it is time for cooking/ reheating. I still need to make the green salad and slice the fruit for the crumble. But it is early yet, so I think I will just put my feet up and relax for a while.
