Dinner Party Meals Made Simple
Entertaining this Month?
Preparing a meal for a large group doesn't have to be stressful. There are so many great and simple options available that will still knock the socks off your guests. All it takes is some forethought and planning.
Have you ever considered having a meal catered? Many balk at the idea because they may think it sounds like you are taking the easy route. But think about this, isn't the reason you are having friends and family over is to enjoy their company? When preparing a large and elaborate meal, you may be left with no time or energy to enjoy that good company. So, why not simplify by hiring a caterer or a home delivery service?
Here are a few catering and home delivery services in the Silicon Valley and the South Bay area that meet the Simplify stamp of approval:

The Gourmet Neighbor
The Gourmet Neighbor delivers a complete, nutritious and delicious meal using the best local and seasonal ingredients with an emphasis on organic produce. They also cater events.
Here are a few simple cooking shortcuts if you prefer to do a home cooked meal:
· Have the guests pitch in one dish – preferably a side dish. This way you can focus on the main course and that's it!
· Use a slow cooker or crock pot. You can cook almost anything in a slow cooker these days from meat to desserts. Your food will stay hot and fresh and will free up a spot on your stove or oven.
· Use prepackaged food items. There is nothing wrong with getting a little help from the grocery store. Store bought bread and bakery items can be just as tasty as something you make at home.
Last but not least is just to keep the menu simple. If you are preparing for a large gathering, contact Simplify for more ideas to make your special evening a success.
