This week my brother is coming to visit for a few days of his spring break. My little brother who at 6’1″ towers over me and will eat at least two portions of whatever is served for dinner. I honest to goodness love feeding him, as he hunkers into every plate with pure enthusiasm.
Over text I asked if he had any requests for dinner. “That is the best question anyone has asked me all day!” he wrote. Shrimp and grits was his lone request. Even though I have an easy-to-impress guest visiting this week, the goal is dinners for the week that are both fast and a little fancy, a cooking style I don’t always reach for when feeding two preschoolers.
Here are the five fast and fancy dinners I’m cooking for house guests this week.

Here’s how to make this minimalist, booze-free drink

These eggs will have people reveling in your artistic abilities. “However did you paint something so beautifully intricate?” friends and family members may ask. You don’t even have to tell them the truth, if you don’t want. Your secret is safe with us. The secret, of course, being that you didn’t paint anything — you just used temporary tattoos.
