Help me, I need inspiration

May 9, 2011 11:55am CST
Hi everyone, ok I have a dilemma... I am hosting a house party this weekend and need some ideas on the party food, the party is for approx 20-30 ladies from the ages of 21-40. I don't wish to spent all day in the kitchen but would like something "different" I want a "wow factor" on the table as the guest enter the room. I am already making the cocktails and decorating the rooms and organising the music so I don't have hours on end to create a banquet. Any ideas please :O)

Do you have a specific theme to the party? When I go to get togethers I like to make taco dip that's really easy to make and people seem to like it. I also like spinach and artichoke dip that's also really easy to make. I know we aren't supposed to post recipes here but if you want it you can PM me and I can send them to you.

When ever I have a shower or some larger gathering I have chicken salad on croissants or just on buns...add a veggie tray..maybe some chips...it can be very elegant too depending on how you do the table...it's easy and quick to fix and so good!

For me I will prepare two dishes that require an hour or hour and a half to cook and two very simple that requires short time to prepares which I can do while I wait for the two dished to be cook. Two dishes that requires a lot of time is like steam fish and oven grill/barbecue meat. I prepare those two first. After I put both of them in the steamer and oven, then I prepared other dishes. I can prepare salads. That just need 5 minutes or so. Just cut and chop all the ingredient we need and put on the dressing. Once dress, I put it on the fridge. Then I prepare fruits or simple desserts.

You can order food from the special fast-food restaurants. You can choose chicken with various decorations. As self cocktails.A nice decoration of the room and the table will also do the job.
