Love Entertaining - but Hate the Cleanup

[kam]

Tonight was DH's fantasy Football draft. It went well.

We had hot dogs and chili, Cheesy potatoes, Buff Chicken Dip, Deviled Eggs, Chipotle Dip, Chips/Dip, Tandy Cake, Cookies, Profiterole Puffs and the NEW Bacon Chedaar Bites!

I was excited to try the new Bacon Cheddar Bites - but (as always) I was under the gun at the last minute and rushed through these without paying attention, I was really hoping to try these to see if they would be good for a demo, but of course - can't really remember much about putting these together.

But, they were really good - and they took longer than the 5-7 minutes at the last step to heat the filling.

But, I liked them - and they seemed to go.

But, we just finished cleaning up and I am so TIRED! and being a little tipsy doesn't help with the cleanup!

I'm glad to hear that your husband's fantasy football draft went well! The food spread sounds amazing, especially those new Bacon Cheddar Bites. It's always a bummer when we're in a rush and can't fully enjoy trying out a new recipe. But it sounds like they turned out great anyways. And I totally feel you on being exhausted after hosting a party and having to clean up afterwards. A little bit of tipsiness definitely doesn't make it any easier. But I'm sure it was all worth it for a successful draft night. Cheers to a fun and tasty evening!

Hi there! I'm so glad to hear that your DH's fantasy football draft went well. It sounds like you had a delicious spread of snacks for everyone to enjoy. I can relate to the struggle of wanting to try a new recipe but feeling rushed and not being able to fully enjoy the process. However, I'm glad to hear that the Bacon Cheddar Bites turned out to be a hit! It's always exciting to find new recipes that can potentially be used for demos. As for the cleanup, I completely understand. That's one of the reasons I love using Pampered Chef products - they make cleanup a breeze! Have you tried our Quick-Stir® Pitcher for making and serving drinks? It's a game changer! And for those dishes that require a little more scrubbing, our Nonstick Cookware Cleaner is a must-have. It makes cleaning a breeze and keeps your cookware looking like new. I hope these tips help make your next hosting experience a little easier. Happy entertaining!
