How would you like to put dinner on your table in 30-minutes flat? You can with these menus!
Are you making plans for a Spooky Halloween or a Fall Festival? I am - this is going to be a very busy week getting ready for a Halloween Party for my Sunday school class so I have included quick and simple 30-minute menus this week. You can use your precious time getting for fun Fall events using these menus!
We are having company Saturday night so I have planned an elegant meal. I will add appetizers of prochuttio wrapped bread sticks, a wedge of cheese (brie or similar) with assorted crackers, and salsa with veggies for a tasty beginning to our meal. The bread sticks, salsa, and bagged pre-cut veggies will be purchased making it very easy on the hostess! I will even have time for a glass of wine before the company arrives and will be relaxed and ready (now this is my kind of entertaining!).
I hope you have a great week!
