* tiny but powerful *

...AND have guests over for a complete sit-down meal!

Tonight's dinner menu:
- tomato & basil bisque soup (which I didn't make; it's my newly discovered favorite soup from Safeway...SO YUMMY) served with fresh French bread
- spinach salad with sliced strawberries, toasted sugared almonds, and raspberry walnut vinaigrette
- chicken pasta casserole with cream of mushroom sauce (also known as "bop casserole" in a previous life)

And for dessert:
- sweet potato cheesecake (homemade and brought over by our guests) served with vanilla ice cream

Success!

Next: Time to venture on to a new entree...
