Thanksgiving is a week away and I am so excited! We’re hosting Thanksgiving like we always do, but this year is extra special because our in-laws are coming in town. I can’t wait to squeeze my nieces and nephew! Anyone else welcoming friends & family over this holiday season? If you’re hosting Friendsgiving, an Ugly Sweater Party, Christmas, a Pot Luck, or a fun New Year’s Eve bash, I have some things that’ll make this year’s entertaining way easier.
Prepping food for parties can be pretty overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! Jus-Rol makes baking quick, easy, and so simple! This delicious Family Size Pizza Dough comes ready to pop in the oven. Just unroll with the baking paper included, add your favorite toppings, and bake as directed. The dough isn’t too thick or thin and is perfect for pizzas, calzones, and breadsticks. Plus, it doesn’t contain GMOs, artificial flavors or colors, high fructose corn syrup, or bleached flour. You can visit their site for more recipe ideas and find a store locator HERE.
Speaking of meal planning, ever since I discovered Dorot Gardens, it has changed the way I cook. No more chopping, peeling, or measuring needed with these pre-portioned fresh frozen herbs and garlic. Each cube is perfectly measured out so all I have to do is “pop” and go. And, with a 2-year shelf life, I can have fresh basil all year round! Now that’s what I call a cooking hack! Check out all the items available HERE.
Snacks are a MUST for holiday entertaining and adding these uniquely flavored almond snacks from RECIPE33 on a Charcuterie Board will be a hit. That’s because each bag is infused with only 3-5 ingredients (no artificial additives or flavors) and full of tastiness! Flavors include Black Truffle, Lemon Rosemary, Smoky Serrano, Garlic Dill, and Cinnamon Vanilla. I tried them all (so good!), but Smoky Serrano is probably my fave. Visit their site to save $2.00 on any 4oz bags with code TRYRECIPE33.
It’s not a party without drinks and Zing Zang® could possibly BE the life of the party. The best part? You barely have to lift a finger because they’re available in ready-to-drink cans. Coined by the creator’s wife after crafting his own Bloody Mary mix, there’s a reason this Bloody Mary with Vodka Canned Cocktail is the #1 Bloody Mary Mix. Made with 7 real vegetable juices, bold seasonings, & premium 6x distilled vodka, your guests will love this. If tequila is your jam, you can also serve the Zing Zang Mango Margarita with Tequila Canned Cocktail. It’s infused with mango, lime, key lime, blue agave, and premium silver tequila from Mexico. So good! Find a store near you.
If you’re a newbie to hosting parties, Bar Menu is a great source for inspiration. With 100+ food recipes (each containing a drink idea) plus 30+ actual cocktail recipes, this comprehensive guide provides elevated bar bite recipe ideas your guests will love. It would also make for a great hostess gift too!
Lastly, and probably the most important tip of all, don’t forget to send out invitations! When it comes to digital invitations, I love going with Punchbowl. They’re simply the Gold Standard. You can easily create, design, edit, and track all the details at your fingertips. The hardest part is choosing the design because there’s over 300 for just the Holiday Invitation Collection. You can even add powerful party planning features including a potluck list, gift registry, guest polling, and much more!
Hope you guys enjoyed these holiday entertaining tips. If you have additional tricks for hosting, share them below. Until next time, I hope you guys have the most wonderful, safe, and happy holiday with your friends and family!
