Belated Christmas-Present Dinner

So, Thom and I offered to make his parents dinner...this past Christmas. Yeah. Our bad on that one. Big time. But, we did it last night! They're generally meat-and-potatoes kind of people, but very open minded---so I tried to make them my version of a comfort food meal.

I made chickpea patties: (served with mushroom gravy)


Spinach and basil garlic mashed potatoes:


Grilled zucchini and squash:


And for dessert I made strawberry-raspberry cobbler:


We all enjoyed the food and the company. I would like to have dinner with them more often---and definitely more than once every six months! So, expect more dinner, Simes!

In other news: Yes, it's Monday Night Dinner tonight!!! In fact, I'm blogging because I'm so impatient to grill...but I have to wait a few more hours. It's going to be awesome. I can't wait!
