There is something about breaking bread with family and friends that  makes entertaining special.  We hosted a simple fall dinner with my sister Sandi and her family. Over the years, I have come to realize making as much food as possible ahead of time, is the key. I made the Chicken Piccata, Twice Baked Potatoes and Crème Brule the night before. This not only allows me to enjoy the evening but makes for an all around relaxing night.
