Episode 34: I took notes so you didn’t have to….today you and I are talking about events!

This is a bite sized episode so let’s get into it!

Event Tips and Tricks 101

• Don’t sweat the small stuff or even big stuff. You need to figure it out and you will. Being able to keep your cool under pressure is KEY. You don’t want get worried about something going wrong because I can tell you from experience, everything that can go wrong might go wrong and you just have to be prepared for it.

• Plan, plan plan! The more preplanning you can do the better off you will be. Like for example I love putting out every platter and serving utensil even before the guests come or the food comes out of the oven. It helps speed up the whole process of getting food out when it’s time.

• Ask for help, if your guests are willing to help and it’s just and someone else. Have them help! Being in the kitchen together can be a lot of fun!

• Can the food be made ahead of time? Do it! Can the food be held in an Instant Pot or Crock Pot? That helps.

• If some stuff can be bought already made from the grocery store then go for it! Just add some extra fresh herbs or take things out of the plastic containers and plate it on some nice plates.

• Remember to set timers on your phone or close by you so you will remember to go back into the kitchen to get those things out of the oven.
