For some, entertaining the friends that stop by unexpectedly is a cinch. For others, it is a nightmare. My suggestions for easy instant entertaining:
Cocktail Hour
Keep pre-cooked Jumbo Shrimp in the freezer-there are so many good inexpensive brands!
Keep pre-made cocktail sauce in the pantry-swirl in a drop of Worcestershire sauce or balsamic vinegar to give it a kick
Thaw the shrimp under cold running water. Paper towel-dry and serve with the sauce and lemon or lime wedges if you have them handy.
Dessert Time
In the freezer, keep a small amount of homemade or store-bought cookie dough
Bake a few cookies as you are chatting with your friends
Serve with ice cream, sorbet and/or coffee- and there you have it! Easy-as-pie entertaining!
