We've already done a piffling combat of entertaining this January.  I genuinely dear entertaining inwards Jan - expectations are lower, schedules are to a greater extent than open, as well as everyone is to a greater extent than relaxed.

This carte du jour is as well as hence simple.  It is amount of brand ahead recipes - everything is gear upward to larn past times the fourth dimension the guests arrive.  Each particular is piece of cake to brand as well as comforting, too.  It was the 
perfect cozy nighttime dinner amongst kids running around, snowfall outside, blood-red vino as well as large bowls of brusque rib ragu.  And, I mean, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies for dessert?  Followed past times hot java poured over H2O ice cream?  I dear to practice what industrial plant as well as maintain things simple.


I laid the tabular array for the adults... as well as completely forgot to issue napkins for the photo... as well as for the dinner.  The funny business office is that the twenty-four threescore minutes catamenia before I had re-organized our linen pantry as well as ironed EVERY SINGLE NAPKIN I own.  And left them all folded inwards the linen pantry.



We started the nighttime amongst roughly other Barefoot Contessa favorite - Baked Fontina (How Easy is That? cookbook).



It is perfect entertaining food, peculiarly on a mutual depression temperature night.  I set the cheese, herbs, garlic as well as olive crude inwards my skillet inwards the afternoon.  Then, 10 minutes before the guests arrived, I set it nether the broiler for 8-10 minutes.  It comes out melted as well as bubbly.  I served it amongst sliced, crusty baguette.


For dinner, I made our favorite Lycopersicon esculentum sauce as well as added some...


Short Ribs + a piffling cream.  Easy Short Rib Ragu.  (The recipe link hither uses stew meat, but simply sub brusque ribs instead.)  I served it tossed amongst fettuccine.  The kids fifty-fifty cleaned their plates.


For dessert, I served Affogatos.  Because my nespresso machine is on the fritz, I made rigid decaf java as well as served it over vanilla H2O ice cream inwards large mugs.  I made chocolate chip cookie dough before inwards the twenty-four threescore minutes catamenia as well as set it inwards the freezer.  I set the balls on a sail pan before they arrived as well as popped it inwards the oven subsequently nosotros finished dinner.  The kids as well as adults gobbled them up.  Who doesn't dear a warm chocolate chip cookie?


I promise you've got roughly wintertime entertaining planned.  I experience similar everyone needs roughly deadening nights inwards of soul taking tending of them subsequently the Holiday season.
