Okay. So you’re going to a party or two or three. Maybe you are taking along all the kids (oi!) and maybe you aren’t. Either way, you are a busy mom and you are always crushed for time, especially in December. Am I right?
When the party season hits, busy moms need the easy button. But, we’ve also got to impress. That’s the absolute requirement we all know in our hearts when it comes to taking along party food to the party – but not often something we will admit out loud. So we need impressive AND easy. And hopefully we will also already have the ingredients in our pantry.
I think you will find exactly the impressive but easy party food ideas you are looking for in this list of 75 party foods. And just in case you’d rather make and take a party dip — you’ll enjoy this list of 75 party dips – hot, cold, and yummy!
