Snack & Lunch Ideas for Entertaining Friends
Expecting friends and unsure what to cook? If you don’t have the time to fit the cooking of a whole home-cooked meal for a group into your schedule, you can always outsource this. Invite them over for a night of wine and pizza, or takeout. People will rarely complain and it’ll be fun to choose a restaurant you all like!
If you definitely want a home-cooked meal for your friends and family, but can’t really make it by yourself, you can always turn the cooking into the entertainment and share the load. Invite your loved ones over to bake something in your oven or take it a step further and organize a day outdoors with a cookout. Light up your grill in your courtyard, rooftop, or any space available in your apartment complex, and get ready for some fun.
