Backyard Dinner Party With Romano’s Macaroni Grill

Filed Under: Parties, Recipes

Planning a summer gathering? Let Romano’s Macaroni Grill take care of the menu for you! Full service catering packages include choice of two entrees, salad, rosemary peasant bread, chafing dishes, all plate ware, utensils, set up, service and clean-up.

 

When it came to planning a delicious dinner to celebrate the dad in our home for Father’s Day, I kind of cheated and went the catering route. Was it really cheating though, or just a stroke of genius?

Boy Scout camp is the day after Father’s Day and we knew that our time after church on Sunday would be spent packing everything that Derrick and the boys would need for their big week! We didn’t want to rush or skip our Father’s Day dinner celebration so we moved it up a couple of days early. The weather was also cooler the night we had our backyard dinner party so it worked out perfectly!

Romano’s Macaroni Grill has a delicious dine-in menu, as many of you already know, but did you know that they offer catering and take-out options too? They’ll even deliver and set up your meal for you! I chose to pick up our order since I didn’t want to have to deal with delivery on the Air Force Base. I was in and out in less than two minutes with everything for our special dinner.

Our Backyard Dinner Party Menu:

Fettuccine Alfredo with Grilled Chicken

Fresh Greens

Rosemary Peasant Bread (with oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping)

Cookie Platter

1 Gallon of Raspberry Lemonade

 

Everything was absolutely delicious and still hot. Even the chocolate chip cookies.

 

When your 8 year old writes that her dad’s hobby is spending time with his family, you know you’ve arrived as Father of the Year. He really is the best and we get to have him all to ourselves!

    I may be selfish and use it for lunch dates for myself ?
    Or maybe use it for date nights. Either way my belly would be happy ?

    I’d share with my wife and take her out on a lunch date…Adults only! Its a perfect time for the kids to spend time with their grandparents. I’m thinking we’ll make it a day and hit the theater and do some shopping!

    I’d share it with husband & our kids & my parents. My parents have really helped us out the last couple of months especially because our baby was born in March. I really appreciate all their help.

    I would share with my family. ❤️ My husband’s schedule is pretty busy but we make family dinners a priority. Eating with my sweetheart and kids is my favorite part of the day. ?

    I would love to share this with friends who just had a baby. This would make one night much easier on them, not having to figure out what to eat.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    Share with my husband, son and daughter-in-law. We are retired but stay busy and son and daughter are super busy. She is about to be a second year medical resident and works a gazillion hours per week. Treasure when we get to see them both and this would be a nice thing to share! Thanks!
