Most of the time we just grill out chicken or burgers with a ton of sides.

If We have guests during the afternoon a lasagna is easy to make ahead and pop in the oven. </p> <p>We had a lot of family over last month and threw a huge pork shoulder in the crock pot and made pulled pork sandwiches with coslaw and corn on the cob. It was super easy and delicious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-dinner-when-people-are-coming-over#post-1142831 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:11:39 +0000 regberadaisy 1142831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're versatile so it really depends on weather, our mood and who the guests are and occasion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-dinner-when-people-are-coming-over#post-1142818 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:05:20 +0000 psw27 1142818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we grill in the summer. winter it depends on the guest - maybe enchiladas or lasagna or a roasted chicken... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-dinner-when-people-are-coming-over#post-1142816 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:04:40 +0000 Beebug 1142816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lasagne! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-dinner-when-people-are-coming-over#post-1142811 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:03:27 +0000 shinymama 1142811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still order food for guests because I'm no the most confident cook.

We have one friend (a guy) coming over tomorrow night. I think I might do chicken on the grill and some basic sides (corn, mashed potatoes, a salad). Maybe something fun for dessert like brownies. </p>
