Hosting Guide: How Much Food Do You Need?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we get to the recipes, here is my golden rule for catering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prep Ahead:<\/strong> Choose recipes (like my dips and meatballs) that can be prepped the morning of. Check the dietary requirements of all guest ahead of time. There is nothing worse than finding out someone has a peanut allergy and you have just made everything in peanut oil! This is my golden advise. I have some friends that are sensitive to dairy, onion and garlic, my favorite things! So be prepared for anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “Rule of 6”:<\/strong> For a standard cocktail party, estimate 6 appetizer bites per person per hour<\/strong> for the first two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Variety:<\/strong> Aim for a mix of hot, cold, heavy, and light options. And if your guest have a sweet tooth check out my Nutella day inspired recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
