Food is usually a big part of most parties. Some parties are even centered around, like barbecues or dinner and brunch parties. For these, figuring out what to serve is key to making it memorable.
But just because you like hosting and organizing parties, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a gifted cook. I’m certainly not. If I’m preparing the party food myself I always look for easy to put together finger food options. You will hardly get an invitation from me to a dinner party for which I’ll be cooking (that’s my husband’s role).
But for some parties, there’s just so much to take care of and to do that maybe the food is not something I want to add to the list. Sometimes, I just want to enjoy good food that I didn’t have to prepare.
