Sunday Dinner!

Some years ago when I first moved to California, I was telling a dear friend about how much I loved Sunday dinners during the decade I lived in Ohio and so we decided to institute the tradition here in California. That was six years ago and, while most of the people who were a part of it then have either moved away or moved on, I decided a little over a year ago to start the tradition again. Since then, there have been only a handful of Sundays without Sunday dinner at my place.

I love Sunday dinners. I love bringing together the people I care about. I love cooking for them. I love sitting around a big table with good food, good friends, good wine, great conversation, and lots of laughter.

However, every week I struggle with what to make. I try to stay away from frequent repeats of menus and I always have a hard time thinking of what I've already made, etc. So, I decided to start keeping track. I may do a weekly blog post with a recipe, I may not. I may take pictures of the food, I may not. Either way, here's what we had for dinner last night (with links to the recipes): Chicken Stroganoff and a chopped kale salad.

Oh, and all of the recipes are typically for about 6 servings. I tend to double or triple the recipes depending on how many people I expect to show up. Plus, who doesn't love leftovers?

Happy eating!
