Now that i'm getting settled in at the new place, I have been itching to get back in the kitchen. I've also been eager to show off my new house, so I decided to throw together a casual dinner party for a few friends last night.
The best part about this simple, fresh menu is that it's also very economical. I bought everything on the menu, with the exception of the filet, at Trader Joe's for just under $55. Not too shabby for a 6 person dinner!
Typically, I would choose one crostini but I was feeling particularly ambitious last night so I went with two. If you're on a budget, swap the filet for sirloin, or save the filet crostini for a smaller group. This ended up being the perfect amount of food - everyone was full but no leftovers to wrap up.
Stay tuned this week for pictures and recipes!
