So, huddle up and check out these 12 Super Menu Ideas, but first, a few tips from the party playbook.
Tip #A
There’s no “i” in team...nor in “meal prep.” Recruit your kids to help with preparing these menu ideas. Give ‘em a little coaching and they’ll become pros in the kitchen.
Tip #B
Try a Hostess Handoff. If you’re bringing a dish, consider using a fun serving platter or festive bowl that will double as your hostess gift. Makes it easy to leave leftovers, too!
A good defense is everything. After all, we want to keep our parties germ-safe and we can't forget about the colds and flu going around. Consider preparing individual servings in plastic cups or pre-poke poppable menu items with toothpicks or spears to prevent the dreaded double dipping or little sticky hands from self-serving. You can also use the bamboo grabbers linked on Amazon Prime to the right!
Tip #D
It’s a bowl game...be sure every service bowl has a suitable serving utensil and consider washing or replacing them mid-party. A bowl with no scoop will make for illegal use of the hands. Note the aforementioned COVID-friendly tip!
