PrismaticPulse+FollowAppetizer Variety: The Secret to a Memorable PartyStart by picking at least three different appetizers if you’re hosting a small group (10 or fewer). As your guest list grows, add more options—up to nine for big gatherings. Mix it up! Choose from garden, starch, protein, snack, and dip/spread families. This keeps things interesting and makes sure everyone finds something they like. Think about your main course and balance flavors. If dinner is rich, go lighter with apps. If dinner is light, bring in some richer bites. Make it look good. Use colorful foods, different shapes, and creative serving dishes. Even a simple cheese cube looks fancy with the right garnish. Prep ahead and keep things easy. Include at least one no-fuss item like nuts or veggies. Hot apps should be served fresh and cold ones can be set out early. #PartyTips #AppetizerIdeas #Entertaining #Food #Cooking10Share
Heather Shelton+FollowHey! Hide Your Booze : Simple Tricks That WorkTransfer your alcohol into a hip flask or an opaque water bottle. Stainless steel flasks fit perfectly in a jacket pocket and are super discreet. If you’re chilling outside, use a paper bag for your beer or pint bottle. It’s not foolproof, but it keeps things low-key if you’re in a spot where open containers are a no-go. For cans, grab a big beer cozy or make your own by cutting the top off a soda can and sliding your beer inside. It’ll look like you’re sipping a regular soda. Mix your drink ahead of time and pour it into a regular soda or water bottle. Clear spirits like vodka blend in perfectly with water bottles, while wine can go in fruit juice bottles. If you’re at home, hide bottles behind books, in boots, or even in the toilet tank (seriously, it works). Just remember where you put them! If you’re hiding alcohol because you’re worried about how much you’re drinking, it might be time to talk to someone. Hiding it won’t fix the problem. #LifeHacks #HideAlcohol #PartyTips #Food #Cooking156Share
