Quick! The kids are coming for dinner!

I'm under the weather, and am not used to working all day~ and two of the boys are coming for dinner tomorrow night. I'm freaking because I don't have much time after work tomorrow to come up with something. And the following is not a bad idea and it's all quick! One of them requested my homemade Irish cream- and it's already for tomorrow!
Roasted Chicken
Romaine and Potato Salad

Toned Down St. Patrick's day party

Last year one of my sons, who works in a restaurant asked why I never made corned beef and cabbage. I had two answers: the house smelled so bad and you boys didn't like it! But years before one of my clients wanted to have a St. Patrick's Day Party and I wanted something more creative. So, I made a menu and she was so happy with it, I eventually catered two more St. Pat parties for her.
I made a potato centerpiece and glued on real eye cutouts of both she and her husband and some of the guests. Another year, I made green tinsel lamp shades for her sconces.
My menu, which was called 'March Celtic Food the American Way' featured the following:
Mini open faced Reuben Pizzas
Sausage and Mashed potatoes Muffies
Corned Beef Sandwiches
Chicken Sandwiches with Chive Butter
Sweet Potato Stuffed Wontons
Irish Potato Salad
Tex-Caesar Salad
Lemon Bars
Puff Pastry fruit tarts
Brownies and truffles
