Breads such as scones, muffins and biscuits can be relatively simple, so don't be shy about trying them. If you're looking for something a little different than scones, browse through some of the recipes available at BreadRecipe.Com, part of the AllRecipes.com network.
Our main course is a wonderfully aromatic quiche. Again, this recipe is easy to prepare, and if you get it in the oven before your guests arrive, you'll be carefree to enjoy your company!
