Hey Hosting Queen,

With summer in full swing and weeks of slower days still ahead, it’s the perfect time to gather your people. Whether you're hosting friends for drinks on the patio or pulling together a full family reunion at the cottage, you know how important the food is.

Here are three of my go-to party menus that are always a crowd-pleaser:

💫 BBQ Hotdogs + Hamburgers (obvs 🙄)
💫 Pulled Pork Sandwiches
💫 Taco Bar

All three are simple to prep and guaranteed to get people coming back for seconds. To keep the food, fun, and fellowship flowing — and to make sure you actually get to enjoy the party too — here are a few tips:

✅ Plan ahead: one day for shopping, one day for prep
✅ Most food can be made the day before (just add dressings 1–3 hours before serving)
✅ Set up tables, chairs, and serving dishes the night before or morning of
✅ Use a cooler with ice packs under the table to store backup food for restocking

Food is honestly one of my favourite parts of any party. I could go on and on about it (but then this post would get reaaally long 🤣).

What about you? What’s your go-to party menu? Hit reply and let me know—I’d love to hear!

Less Stress, More Magic ~ Always

With Love,

Krista
