Entertaining Tips: Food



Rule







Something easy, cheap and delicious your guests will go bonkers over.



Chicken Salad Cups



Buy Frozen Filo cups, and bake according to the package (8-10 minutes, I think) - let cool and fill with your favorite chicken salad, make the chicken the day before, or buy it pre-packaged.



Fill the cups about 10-20 minutes before your first guest is set to arrive.



Then sprinkle with your favorite fresh herb if you have some on hand, if not dried parsley will do just fine.

Entertaining Tips: Food

Rule


Make sure you have enough food. Sounds easy right, but for some reason my Grandmother always over made food, and my other family members never had enough.



So how do you plan accordingly?



First what time is your party, if it's prime meal time you'll need to plan for more food, if it's inbetween meal times, a bit less.



On average plan on 5 pieces of food per person, per hour. For a cocktail party... if you are serving stuffed dates, assume people will either love or hate them, so maybe 3 per person.



Know your audience, is it a dessert reception or a full on dinner party... all of those things will make a difference.



First and foremost, always have food available when your guests arrive... pretzels, veggies, roasted potato's something.
