Have you ever heard a knock at the door and opened it to welcome some unexpected guests? It’s enough to leave anyone scrambling for something to put on the table! Not to worry, there are plenty of delicious foods that you can whip up in a hurry when visitors stop by.
Cheese boards are excellent for keeping guests happy. Especially if you are planning on serving wine along with it. Remember to pair with the right breads or crackers and some salad goodies to keep this snack light.
Another tip to remember is to always keep cookies in the freezer. Once baked, they will freeze really well and all you need to do is pop them in the oven for a few minutes to warm them up and fill your home with that fresh baked smell!
A cold meat platter is another great idea for carnivores. Like cheese, you can serve various types of cold cuts along with different types of bread and salad items like celery, tomato, cucumber, olives, and so on. If you like, you can combine this cold meat plate with your cheese plate for an even more impressive spread.
It’s also a good idea to keep some mini pastries in your freezer for those unexpected guests. You need only pop them in the oven for a few minutes before they are ready so enjoy. If you want to keep those hungry bellies at bay, simply place a bowl or two of snacks on the table. These include chips, nuts, popcorn, and anything you enjoy snacking on. Keep the refreshments coming and your guests won’t go hungry or thirsty.
