Recipe to Prepare Before Guests Arrive

In summary, some easy recipes to prepare before guests arrive include dips, such as spinach artichoke dip or buffalo chicken dip, as well as make-ahead casseroles like lasagna or baked ziti. It is recommended to prepare these recipes no more than 1-2 days in advance and they can also be frozen. Recipes that can be easily multiplied and served in a buffet-style are best for a large crowd.

If I do my price is right show I want to prepare something before the guests arrive or while they are arriving have it in the oven, etc.

What do you suggest? Touchdown Taco Dip I heard is awesome but not sure if my host likes mexican.

any other suggestions? maybe a dessert would be good?
 
I am a HUGE fan of the Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip. Super easy & everyone LOVES it!!
 
A dessert is ALWAYS good:D The chocolate pecan tart or caramel cakes would smell yummy as guests come in. Or maybe a pull apart bread.
