I'm trying Ina Garten's company pot roast today. Could be an option! I'll let you know how it works out.

Re: Need dinner idea for people coming over
I recommend lasagna.
My only hesitation would be that a lot of people make this on Christmas, so hopefully they haven't had it recently.
I always use the no-boil noodles to make it easy.
I had the Queen of the Italian's over for dinner on Christmas and she raved about it.

Maybe a shepherd's pie?

- pot roast or roast beef with noodles or mashed potatoes and biscuits
- lasagna rollups with meatballs/sausage/ italian bread & salad and/or veggie
- turkey breast with roasted sweet potatoes, stuffing, green veggie
- Baked rigatoni with spinach (easy, yummy & different)

Re: Need dinner idea for people coming over
You can't really go wrong with chicken.
I'd do an herb roasted chicken with a sausage, mushroom and potato bread dressing. A nice side of honey glazed carrots and buttered peas served alongside a big winter salad with a cranberry vinaigrette will give a nice color and balance. A couple of bottles of Sauv Blanc (I like the cupcake whites.. very citrusy) and you have a great, filling meal.
If you want to go a little lighter... I'd do a lemon garlic roasted chicken breasts with whipped potatoes and steamed broccoli with a squeeze of lemon.
If you want more of a one pot thing.. I'd say arroz con pollo and a salad with a a zesty cilantro lime dressing.
When I serve beef.. I just like doing steak. It isn't oven ready.. but I do all on the grill at the same time.. and it doesn't take long at all. I love good quality strip steaks with maitre d' butter, Caesar salad and baby carrots with butter. My favorite.
