👩‍🍳 Easy Recipes that Gather People
🥰 Making Life Simple and Tasty
🎀 Ringing in the NEW Southern Belle
Bits & Baubles Bag! I keep all the ends, peelings Bits & Baubles Bag! I keep all the ends, peelings, bones, etc in my freezer. When it gets full I dump it into a crock pot with water and make chicken stock! It’s a great way to use ALL the food without wasting! Sometimes I end up with just vegetables, and that’s equally as useful and delicious as making chicken stock. The weather is cooler this week here in Asheville, which has me thinking about the little ways I can start prepping for Fall weather! I’ll make up a pot of stock and freeze it for a few months from now! Do you do this?! . . . #homemadecooking #wastelesscooking #homemadechickenstock
Raise your hand if you’ve ever stressed about “cheating” with store-bought items! 🙋‍♀️ ((I’m raising my BOTH my hands AND my feet!)) The from-scratch myth is the joy-killer of entertaining – and honestly, it needs to die. So why are we holding ourselves to impossible standards that even the pros don’t follow? Here’s the permission you didn’t know you needed: you can be an amazing host without making your entire menu from scratch. Revolutionary, right? ((Now, I’m not saying this to knock down the people who do make their own ketchup for burger night! You do you, Boo!)) My entertaining game-changers: ✨ Heating frozen apps in my air fryer ✨ Bakery desserts arranged on my own platters (y’all know I am not about to make my own dessert… too often!)) ✨ Quality store-bought items mixed with one homemade dish (Hello, Publix Chicken Wings!!) The secret sauce isn’t in making everything yourself – it’s in curation, presentation, and creating an experience. ➡️ I can spend 30 minutes assembling a beautiful spread using smart shortcuts, then actually enjoy my own party instead of being chained to the kitchen. My most complimented “homemade” dishes? A jar of Rao’s Marinara topped with TWO flavors of Boursin Cheese. ((Seriously, I cannot tell you how many people ask for the ‘recipe,’ and it always comes back an empty dish!)) Your people care about feeling welcomed and fed, not about your cooking prowess. They want to spend time with YOU, not watch you stress in the kitchen all evening. ➡️ Embrace the shortcuts. ➡️ Use the conveniences. ➡️ Save your energy for what really matters: creating connections and making memories. 💡 That’s what effortless entertaining is all about! What’s you go-to convenience item you use in your daily cooking or entertaining?! . . . #EffortlessEntertaining #HostingTips #HostingHacks #EntertainingMadeEasy #HostingMyths #PartyPlanning #DinnerPartyHacks
Sugar Daddy Thighs! It’s not seasoned unless you Sugar Daddy Thighs! It’s not seasoned unless you sneezin’! Y’all, I can’t stop making these spicy, sweet, barbecuey chicken thighs in my air fryer. Say SUGAR in the comments, and I’ll share the recipe! A simple (but well-curated!) seasoning blend from @tpain and @spicewalla get mixed with some olive oil and worcestershire sauce. Give your thighs a good rub down in the bag, and then let them marinate for at least a couple of hours. Make up a quick and easy honey barbecue sauce that you add Sugar Daddy Seasoning to, then paint the thighs with it. Enjoy this easy main dish recipe! Everyone in your house is going to love it! Who’s making this?! . . . #airfryerchicken #airfryerrecipe #easychickendinner #summerrecipes Sugar Daddy Thighs Recipe: 6-8 Chicken Thighs, boneless and skinless 2 TBS Olive Oil 2 TBS Sugar Daddy Seasoning 1 TBS Worcestershire Sauce Honey Barbecue Sauce 1 cup Barbecue Sauce (I prefer Sweet Baby Ray’s!) 1 TBS Sugar Daddy Seasoning 1 TBS Honey (I did use Mike’s Hot Honey here!) In a big baggie, add in your olive oil, sugar daddy seasoning, worcestershire sauce, and chicken thighs. Close up the bag, and rub the marinade all around. Let this marinate for at least 2 hours, but overnight is even better. Air fry at 400˚ for 12 minutes, then flip each thigh over, air frying for an additional 5 minutes. After air frying for 17 minutes, brush with the honey barbecue sauce and air fry for 5 minutes on one side, flip and do it again. Serve with whatever sides you like best! Old Fashioned Macaroni and Cheese is incredible, if I do say so myself! #chickenthighs #summerentertaining #grillingseason #airfryer #airfryerchicken
Plot twist: I’m liking smaller dinner parties mo Plot twist: I’m liking smaller dinner parties more than the big ones! I’m finding I enjoy intimate time with my people more than a larger crowd. Truth bomb: A dinner party is whatever size you say it is! It can be you, plus one other person gathered around the coffee table… It can be 4 people around the dining table. It can be 16 people milling around the buffet table. Whatever you want your dinner party to be, it’s going to be fantastic! They're way easier to decorate and maintain for parties! Small space entertaining superpowers: ✨ Everyone naturally mingles (nowhere to hide!) ✨ Conversations stay intimate and meaningful ✨ Less cleaning before and after ✨ Cozy atmosphere happens automatically ✨ Lower hosting costs for food and drinks ✨ Forces creative, memorable experiences My favorite small-space hosting moments: appetizers and starter cocktails on the couch around the coffee table… Then moving to the dining table for sumptuous food and conversation! The magic isn't in having space for 20 people – it's in creating warmth for the people you do invite. The best dinner parties I've attended were around cramped tables where knees touched and conversations flowed. Your apartment, condo, or small home has everything needed for incredible gatherings: love, intention, and you. Size doesn't determine hospitality – heart does. Start inviting people over. Your space is bigger than you think when it's filled with laughter and friendship! . . . . #SmallSpaceEntertaining #EffortlessEntertaining #HostingTips #ApartmentHosting #EntertainingAtHome #HostingMyths #SmallSpaceLiving #CondoEntertaining #HostingInSmallSpaces #PartyPlanning #DinnerPartyTips #HostingAdvice #EntertainingMadeEasy #HostWithTheMost #TinyHomeEntertaining
Hosting a dinner party? Prep your BBQ Chicken Sala Hosting a dinner party?

✨Confession time…✨ Yesterday I said you don ✨Confession time…✨ Yesterday I said you don’t need a fancy tablescape or curated charcuterie board to host. And I meant it. But here's the part I didn't say… I love the details.
I love setting the table with care.
I love printing out little name cards, tucking flowers into vintage glassware, and making a playlist that matches the vibe just right. Does it happen every time? Nope. 
Am I hosting like this every week? Definitely not. But when I do go all out – it’s never about impressing people. 
It’s about honoring them. 
Thinking through the experience I want them to have from the moment they walk through the door to the final goodbye squeeze. It’s a love language. 🥂 The glassware & serving dishes I use? Thoughtfully curated.
🎶 The music in the background? A vibe I’ve curated just for them. When I really think about it, the details aren’t about “fancy.” 
They’re about intentionality. So yes, I’ll keep championing paper plates and potlucks… 
But I’ll also keep setting a magical table when the mood strikes – not out of pressure, but out of joy. Because here's the truth: 
You don’t ✨need✨ the details to host. 
But if you love the details? Don’t apologize for them. There’s room for both. So whether you’re serving pizza on a couch or filet mignon on fine china – the magic is the same: people gathered, hearts open, memories made. ❤️Which kind of host are you right now – casual, curated, or a little of both? Tell me in the comments! 📱Follow for real talk + realistic tips for hosting in every season of life. .

➡️ Instagram has us believing every gathering ➡️ Instagram has us believing every gathering needs a charcuterie board worthy of Pinterest and florals that cost more than groceries. 🫖 But here’s the tea: fancy doesn’t equal fun! The “fancy hosting” myth is stealing joy from so many would-be hosts! ((And I KNOW I’M GUILTY of this!! But, that’s tomorrow’s post!)) Meanwhile, your friends are eating cereal for dinner alone, wishing someone would just invite them over for ANYTHING. ➡️ Real connection happens over shared experiences, not shared aesthetics. ➡️ Your guests want authentic moments, genuine laughter, and to feel seen and valued. ➡️ They want YOU – your energy, your warmth, your presence. My hosting philosophy shift: comfort over impressive, connection over perfection, memories over magazine-worthy moments. The fanciest thing about great hosting? 🫶 The feeling your guests get when they leave – heard, loved, and excited for next time. That costs nothing but intention. So ditch the pressure, embrace the simple, and remember: your friends fell in love with your personality, not your place settings. Let that shine brighter than any fancy tablescape ever could! 📱Follow along so you don’t miss more Effortless Entertaining Tips! ✅ Say CHECK LIST in the comments to snag my One Page Hosting Checking List! . . . #EffortlessEntertaining #HostingTips #EntertainingAtHome #HostingMyths #BudgetEntertaining #HostingOnABudget #PartyPlanning #DinnerPartyHacks #EntertainingMadeEasy #HostWithTheMost #HostingAdvice #PartyHost #EntertainingIdeas #HostingLife #SimpleEntertaining . .

“I’ll host when my kitchen is remodeled.” “Maybe after we get new furniture.” “Once the kids are older.” Sound familiar? 🙋‍♀️ The perfect time to start entertaining doesn’t exist – and that’s actually the perfect news! Some of my most cherished memories happened in imperfect spaces with imperfect timing. Here’s what I’ve learned about timing and hosting: 💙Your friends care about YOU, not your stuff. 🩵They want to spend time together, share stories, and create memories. 💙That cracked dining table? Nobody notices when they’re laughing over good wine. 🩵Those mismatched chairs? They become conversation starters. Your life is happening RIGHT NOW. Your relationships need nurturing TODAY. That promotion, house upgrade, or perfect entertaining set can wait – but the memories you could be making with people you love? ⬆️ Those can’t. ⬆️ Start where you are, with what you have. 🍕 Order pizza 🕯️ Light a candle 🎶 Put on a playlist. The magic isn’t in the perfection – it’s in the presence, the laughter, the shared moments that happen when people gather with intention. Stop waiting for someday. Your people are ready to connect with you today, exactly as you are, exactly where you are. The only perfect time is now.

You haven’t lived until you’ve made your own c You haven’t lived until you’ve made your own crispy fried onion strings at home. 
Thinly sliced sweet onions soaked in seasoned buttermilk, tossed in a light coating of BBQ-spiced flour, then fried until golden and crunchy… ✨ It’s the Southern kitchen magic you didn’t know you needed. ✨ These homemade onion strings are dangerously addictive—and yes, totally worth every splatter. You can serve them on top of burgers, casseroles, or mac & cheese… or just eat them straight from the paper towel like I do. 😅 I topped my BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad with them! YUMMMMM! The best part? You don’t need a deep fryer. Just a hot skillet, some grapeseed oil, and a big bowl of onions ready for their golden glow-up. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or just snacking in your slippers, these crispy little curls bring big flavor with minimal effort. Perfect for cookouts, weeknight dinners, game day spreads, or adding that extra crunch to your favorite comfort foods. Once you learn how to make onion strings at home, you’ll never reach for the canned ones again. 🧅 Say ONION in the comments and I’ll share the full recipe with you! . . . #CrispyOnionStrings #HomemadeSnacks #FriedOnions #SouthernRecipes #BBQSeasoning #EasyAppetizers #FromScratchCooking #ComfortFoodCravings #QuickSnackReel #KitchenMagic #HostessWithTheMostest . . .

🛑 Stop trying to be Wonder Woman at your next d 🛑 Stop trying to be Wonder Woman at your next dinner party! 🦸‍♀️ The biggest entertaining mistake I see hosts make? ➡️ Doing EVERYTHING themselves and burning out before guests even arrive. Here’s the truth about effortless entertaining: the best hosts know how to delegate and accept help gracefully. Your friends WANT to contribute! Let Joanne bring dessert, ask Adam to handle the playlist, and yes – store-bought appetizers are absolutely acceptable. ((This is also a fantastic super secret conversation starter for anyone!!)) Smart hosting hacks that changed my game:  ✨ Potluck style gatherings create community  ✨ Prep 80% the day before ((or a couple of days ahead of time!)) ✨ One-pot meals are your best friend  ✨ Paper plates don’t kill the vibe  ✨ Guests remember the laughter, not the perfection The goal isn’t to impress people with your superhuman abilities – it’s to create connection and joy.  🙀 When you’re stressed and exhausted, that energy transfers to your guests.  But when you’re relaxed and present?  🪄 That’s when the magic happens. I used to spend three days prepping elaborate dinner parties, only to be too tired to enjoy them. Now I focus on simple, delicious food and genuine conversation. 🥰 My favorite gatherings happen when I’m laughing with friends instead of frantically checking the oven. Your worth as a host isn’t measured by how much you do alone – it’s measured by how welcome your guests feel.  So next time, say yes when someone offers to bring something.  🫶 Accept that helping hand.  Trust me, your sanity (and your friendships) will thank you. Hosting soon? Save this post so you don’t forget these sanity-saving tips later! 📝 Start small, delegate smart, and remember: connection over perfection wins every single time! 💕 . . . #EffortlessEntertaining #HostingTips #DinnerPartyHacks #EntertainingMadeEasy #HostWithTheMost #PartyPlanning #HostingHacks #EntertainingAtHome #PartyPlanningTips #HostingAdvice #DinnerPartyPlanning #EntertainingTips #HostingLife #PartyHost #EntertainingIdeas
