Food For Friends Recipes
There are times and places for fancy, elegant dinner parties. But not here, not now. I'm in a learning to stress-less season. And part of this journey is about untangling the craziness found in an evening of entertaining. Therefore, I came up with these Easy Dinner Party Recipes That Will Impress Your Friends - emphasis on EASY. They may look a little fancy and all, but in reality, they're quite simple. Many are make or chop ahead and some are one and done in the oven. This post has risen from a desperate need to unscramble my life in order to fully engage in it again.
“SIMPLIFY” - it should be simple, right? But the truth is, for me anyway, complexity rules the day, most days. I try to cram a million things into an 8 hour work day which usually ends up being 12 or more hours. At the end of this disillusioned tunnel, I find myself exhausted, unfulfilled and pulling myself from the hustle of trying to overachieve.
So, I pivot and decide to slow down long enough to plan a dinner party. I need to enjoy some downtime with friends. Laugh a little. Relax a little. Linger a little. Wonderful! So I draw from an inspiration that has been in my life forever.A friend who can throw together a casual party at the last minute, have plenty of food for everybody and all the while being calm, cool and collected. She never stresses about any of it. To my friend, it's about relationship building, the food and setting are always secondary. I’m still trying to emulate her graciousness. I fall somewhere in between calm/collected and a crazy maniac.

Relax, enjoy life, linger with friends. That’s my “wannabe” motto right now. I’m working on it. Let me know how your dinner party goes and I’ll let you know if I’m doing better with mine. Click on the photos below to get the recipes. I hope they help with your planning.
This blog was born from a conviction that food isn’t just about eating, but about inspiring and cultivating relationships. I hope it encourages you to slow down and live life to the fullest with family and friends around your table.
This Roasted Cornish Hen recipe will be a stunning festive centerpiece on your Thanksgiving or Christmas table this year.
