What should I serve at my boyfriend's birthday dinner?

Question

I've decided on fried chicken and ham for the main dish but I'm stuck on the side items. Green beans or baked beans? Macaroni salad or pasta salad? Help me pick one of each.

Answer 1

baked beans and potato salad.

Answer 2

It's his birthday...go all out! Everyone loves baked mac and cheese..that's a sure bet. Then go for the kill....pull out all the guns and serve green beans with baby new potatoes, or a platter of roasted red bliss potatoes, carrots, asparagus, and parsnips. The oven helps keep you out of the kitchen and with your mate and guests! Take advantage.

Answer 3

And a good Caprese with tomatoes and mozzarella??
Caprese
Ingredients
Mozzarella cheese 500 gr.
Tomatoes 400 gr.
Basil a few leaves
Extra virgin olive oil 4 tablespoons
Salt and pepper to taste

Slice the tomatoes and the Mozzarella cheese and wash and dry the basil leaves well. Arrange the slices of tomatoes on a serving dish and alternate them with the cheese slices.

Break the basil leaves into pieces with your fingers and sprinkle them over the dish. Season with your extra virgin olive oil and add salt and pepper according to your taste.

Then before the dinner you can prepare a nice starter with a special drink
For example a cocktail or a white wine with "bruschette"

Bruschetta
4 slices Italian loaf (200 g - 7 oz)
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Pepper, if liked


Clean the garlic cloves.
Toast both sides of the bread slices, lightly.
Rub a cut clove of garlic on one side of each slice and sprinkle with salt and pepper, if liked. Brush with the olive oil.

Bruschetta con pomodoro
4 slices Italian loaf (200 g - 7 oz)
2 fresh ripe tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Pepper, if liked

Wash the tomatoes and boil them for 1 minute; in this way you can peel them easily. Peel them, remove their seeds and chop. Drain them very well in order to eliminate their juice. Clean the cloves of garlic.
Toast both sides of the bread lightly.
On one side of each slice, rub a cut clove of garlic and sprinkle with salt and pepper, if liked. Arrange the chopped tomatoes. Brush with the olive oil.
Serve warm.

Good Luck for youur party!!
