I had dinner with a good friend tonight, and between the 2 of us, we had about 7 million kids! How to feed everyone? Make a little feast. I bought a few things from Trader Joe's today and rummaged around my fridge, here's what we came up with for dinner:
-a plate of raw sliced veggies
-salad with romaine, assorted veggies, orange infused dried cranberries, and a handful of roasted chestnuts
-steamed edamame and crab meat shumai (dumplings)- from Fuji Market in Greenwich- I think it's exit 4 or 5 off the 95. A fantastic little Japanese market where absolutely everything is written in Japanese and you have to look at the pictures and guess!
-skewered chipotle chicken- frozen from TJ's
-frozen jasmine rice from TJ's
-a bag of frozen veggies- peas, green beans and julienned carrots- from TJ's that I steamed and added a little butter and a pinch of salt
-steamed fresh asparagus
-a yummy little frozen pizza from TJ's with Gruyere, caramelized onion and proscuitto
-a little leftover chili from last night's dinner -see yesterday's post for recipe
-a bit of homemade guacamole-yummy
-cheese and spinach tortellini
Everyone found something that filled their tummies and it always makes me happy to share a meal with people I love.

Hi Nicole --
This blog is terrific and the recipes are easy and fun and most importantly -- delicious!
I love your "on the fly," feasts and this sounds like quite the smörgåsbord! I love that little
Gruyere tart from Trader Joe's. I've' had it as an appetizer for a dinner party on at least two occasions.
