Family come dine with me help?

Serve a tossed green salad (but make it different; maybe with sliced pears, walnuts and crumbled blue cheese and use a raspberry vinegrette for dressing); or maybe a spinach salad with hard boiled eggs, bacon, and Italian dressing.

I would serve the stuffed chicken breast with a side of rice pilaf or parsleyed rice which is pretty and very simple to make. (Just make the rice and add a cup of chopped fresh parley and butter). It is really good and very pretty. You could also find a rice dish that has dried cranberries and nuts in it which is kind of special.

I would serve fresh vegetables: green beans, corn or maybe a mixture of different complementary vegetables (corn, peas, carrots

and I would make them with fresh vegetables.)

For dessert I would serve cheesecake with fresh strawberries, tiramisu cake or peach and blueberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream.
