"We’re coming up on prime time for gatherings, but so often “entertaining” feels like a chore - which is a damn shame! Having people over can be fun and rewarding, as long as you let go of perfection! A cheese board and free-flowing wine rarely hurts, either. Save these 5 ideas for hosting in a way that YOU enjoy, too! {#DeLalloEats #feedfeed #contest} . 1️⃣ It’s 2019 and no one is here for the formal dinner party. Order pizza, make a salad, let a friend bring dessert. Guaranteed good times. 2️⃣ Don’t necessarily plan too far in advance! Text a few friends on Wednesday, see who’s free Saturday. Casual mood: set. 3️⃣ If you’re cooking, don’t make all the things elaborate from scratch. Pick one, maybe two, stand outs, keep the rest super simple. 4️⃣ Start with a cheese board for sure! There’s literally no easier way to please everyone and look pulled together. Any combo of cheese, charcuterie, crackers, and a fun dip or spread. Bonus points for fresh or dried fruit, berries, veggies, olives, pickles, etc. 5️⃣ Science sez we’re all happier outside. If the weather is decent, move everyone to the patio. Heck, one of our neighbors last year hosted coffee and donuts in their front yard and it was amazing. Food + fresh air = happy souls. . . Do you like having people over? What are your favorite tips?
