Party Planning

You're throwing a party and you want it to look great right?  You want the food to be awesome right?  So here's some tips for making it great.

Veggie/Fruit Trays.  These are highly expensive at the store.  You can buy a nice mix of items and put them on a plate or your own tray for a fraction of the cost.  It takes some time and chopping skills but you'll save a ton.

Chex Mix.  Make your own.  There are lots of great recipes on sites like Betty Crocker and Kraft and Supercook.  And feel free to buy the generic.  They are, of course, going to recommend name brands.  Again, fraction of the cost.

Slow Cooker.  AKA best friend in the kitchen.  Try a pulled pork or spicy chicken wing recipe and you're good to go.  Fix it, forget it, enjoy your party (that's why you had one right?).

Beverage.  Make a big batch of punch and put it in ice cream buckets.  You can stack them in the fridge or freezer and let people scoop it out.  (And add their own adult beverage content.  Freezer works great as the alcohol won't completely freeze in a 24 hour period.)
