Cooking for a Crowd: It’s Not that Tough

The thought of cooking for a crowd may seem like a huge feat. You may feel overwhelmed, but with a few tips it will be a breeze!

Plan An Easy Menu

Easy doesn’t mean that it won’t be delicious and beautiful. Plan 2 easy entrees to give your guests options. Casserole dishes as well as pasta dishes are always great options. Add some finger foods such as relish trays, cheeses and crackers, and then a dessert that your guests can put together to their tastes, such as, a fruit platter with whipped topping, or a build your own sundae bar.Get more information here. http://blog.wholefoodsmarket.com/2011/04/kid-friendly-planet-party/ Shop a couple of days before your get together.

Set up your tables, glassware, and plates the day before. Be sure you have plenty of seating arranged for your guests to sit. Set out decorations such as flowers, and party favors. Chop your vegetables for platters and place in water to keep them crisp for the next day.

Day of the Party

The day of the party, heat your entrees, arrange your finger foods, set out the drinks and ice, and enjoy your party!
