I love entertaining. I usually throw themed dinner parties for my family and friends. I recently had Italian dinner party with neighbors. Spaghetti and Meatballs and seafood stuffed Paccheri.
One of my favorite salads for this Italian theme is the copycat String's Creamy Italian salad dressing.
The meatball recipe I used is Grandma's Famous Italian Meatballs. It has over 1.6k reviews.
I added individual chef's hat at each place setting. My guests love to join in and wear their hats during dinner. It makes for a very fun party.
I added my cute Italian chefs at each end of the table.
I decided to make this one in a trifle bowl. I will be sharing the Tiramisu recipe soon in a heart shaped. Our friend Bryan is such a comic. They are dear friends whom we had the pleasure of traveling to France for our barge tip many years ago.

ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone had a grand time! Your table setting looks fabulous, as always! And your tiramisu looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun themed dinner party, Linda! Your table looks wonderful and your menu sounded great. I’ll check out those recipe links that you shared.
ReplyDeleteThe chef's hat for each guest is a fun idea! And that is the biggest tiramisu I've ever seen! I love tiramisu. I would eat that whole thing.
ReplyDeleteSo cute Linda! Looks like your guests got into the spirit! The dessert looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteYou have so many amazing talents, Linda! I can only imagine how welcomed and loved your guests feel in your home. I copied that italian dressing recipe, as I am forever seeking for creamy italian. Honestly, the best store bought tasting one I have been able to find is the Kroger brand. I pour that over my salad, along with some juice from a can of mandarin oranges, and oh, my! It is SO good! But, I would love to start making my own from scratch, so maybe this will be the one! Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blast! That had to be a fun night. I love Italian food and yours sounded absolutely perfect.

I don’t know how one could not have a great time at your parties. You go all out. Looks like a blast. Have a good weekend
ReplyDeleteLucky you, lucky neighbors!! What a fun themed dinner party, Linda!
ReplyDeleteYour theme is darling. I can tell everyone is having a good time in the photos!
ReplyDeleteAy Linda que cena más divertida y que amigos super joviales tienes. Me han encantado tus chefs italianos son de lo más simpáticos. He puesto atención en la receta de albóndigas de la abuela yo las suelo hacer pero el preparado previo lo hago en sartén con aceite, me gusta la idea de "la nona" de hacerlas al horno, la copiaré. He seguido tu viaje a Francia, nosotros pasamos los veranos en una casa que tenemos al sur cerca de la frontera española. Pasaste por el cáncer hace años, yo también, pero mira lo bien que estamos ahora. espero tu receta de tiramisú. Un besote
ReplyDeleteWhat fun Linda! Dinner sounds delicious and I love that everyone is wearing their chef toque hat. Happy Weekend ♥

ReplyDeleteTheme parties are great, and it looks like your guests had a lot of fun with it!
