A Few Of My Favorite Things
When I entertain, keeping things simple with a bit of flare is my style. Here are a few things that make it fun to host a gathering of any size and to do it with ease.
- a slow cooker fondue pot for serving hot dips.
- pretty napkins.
- stone boards with pretty knives.
- wooden boards that are used almost every day during the holidays.
- dishwasher-safe wine glasses that can be used for any kind of beverage.
- ice buckets for wine and drinks.
- bar set for mixing drinks
- appetizer plates for food and desserts
Hot Dips
Hot dips are one of my favorite things to serve at a party. You can make them ahead of time, then reheat and serve. All you need is your favorite cracker, toasted bread, or some cool dippers like carrots or celery to serve alongside.
Easy Make Ahead Appetizers
With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, having a few make-ahead appetizers in your back pocket is essential because no one what’s to be stuck in the kitchen when there’s fun to be had!
Sliders
Sliders are always at the top of the list when it comes to crowd-pleasing appetizers! They are ideal to serve when you’re entertaining a large group yet easy enough to make for just a few people.

Finger Food
Finger foods are always a smart move when it comes to appetizers, since you don’t need a knife or fork to enjoy. Just pile them on a platter and have your guests serve themselves.
Dessert Dips
It’s always fun to serve a little something sweet as an appetizer, and I can’t think of anything better than a cool, creamy dip!
