*Enjoy the process and engage your guests in the process. Who cares if it takes all day. If you have a table full of deliciousness at the end and good company to eat it with, it was worth it.
*For easy serving with company, serve buffet style on the counter. Set out the dishes with spoons and set the table. Everybody grabs their plate and serves themselves.
*Use placemats and napkins. Set the place settings properly. It makes guests feel special.
*Use whatever you have on hand for salads. The more the merrier, just make sure it goes together. Red onion, mandarin oranges, and cucumber or cucumber, celery, and tomatoes.
*Use tried and true recipes. Favorite and family recipes. They make things more delicious and meaningful.
*Serve green bean salad. It's delicious. And my Grandma makes it.
*Organize cabinets by stacking like items - bowls with bowls, pans with pans, skillets with skillets. Being in multiple houses with small kitchens from park models to RVs taught my Grandma this is the best route to go. This makes everything easily accessible, and easy to get to.
*Use leftovers to make sandwiches for lunch. I watched my Grandma make pork sandwiches out of the evenings before meal, smoked beef sandwiches out of a gift from a friend - anything can make a good sandwich. This uses up last night's leftovers or whatever is on hand and doesn't take too much thought to have a quickly delicious lunch.
