Throwing your very first dinner party can be intimidating—particularly if any invitees are talented cooks—but a meal in three courses is an excellent and manageable place to begin. (You can graduate to five later.)

Course 1
Cranberry and Bleu Cheese Spinach Salad

Get a big salad bowl and salad tongs. Buy two bags of fresh spinach leaves and toss with roasted honey walnuts, crumbled bleu cheese and dried cranberries. You can buy the walnuts pre-roasted or roast them yourself by tossing honey and sugar-coated raw nuts onto a foiled cookie sheet covered in cooking spray and roasting in a 350F oven for 8 minutes.
