I cannot resist the urge, so here goes. Your post is titled "recipes for guests" and my first thought was how do you want to cook them? Roasted or baked.

Grilled ;) Now there's a thought... maybe I'll fire up the grill.

I was looking more for new recipes to try vs. a menu.

This time of year we eat roasted or grilled asparagus, fiddle heads, new carrots new potatoes etc. Dessert would be something regional too or at least Canadian, like Nanaimo Bars, Butter Tarts etc. Something make ahead. Local wines, locally roasted coffee, locally grown tea and we are set.

Oh butter tarts and Nanaimo bars yum yum cam I come for dinner soon! Do you have any Saskatoons for a pie or rhubarb for a crisp?

Well I was curious and checked out Nanaimo bars. Yumm they look good. I copied several recipes from Foodgawker. Thanks for sharing. BTW I love British Columbian and hope to return again someday.
