Holiday Hosting Tip #4 — Feed Them and They Will Love You. Simple ways to impress guests without kitchen chaos.
Food is the heartbeat of any gathering. You don’t need to go gourmet to make it memorable — just plan smart and keep it fun.
🍖 Focus on a “Star of the Show”
Choose one dish to shine, keep the rest simple. Never test new recipes on event day!
🍞 Keep Sides Simple
Choose reheatable sides.
Prep cold sides early.
Label dishes for a polished touch.
🍸 Sip, Sip, Hooray
A signature drink = instant upgrade.
Pick one cocktail and one mocktail.
Add a garnish or fun name (“The Chaos Coordinator”!).
🧁 Sweet Endings & Leftovers Worth Loving
Serve dessert buffet-style.
Provide take-home containers.
From the Clipboard of a Chaos Coordinator:
“Feed them well and they’ll forgive almost anything — even forgetting the rolls.”
FAQs:
How much food per person? 6 oz entrée, ½–¾ cup sides.
Easy appetizers? Charcuterie, dips, or puff-pastry bites.
Picky eaters? Offer one neutral dish, then relax.
