Saving Time with Double Batches
It always seems that parties come in bunches. There will be periods when I have nothing social scheduled and then suddenly there will be a series of weekends with multiple events. In those cases it's easy to entertain because you can save time by cooking double batches.
For example, if you are going to a party on a Friday where you will be bringing a dish, and entertaining on Sunday, bake cookies or cook appetizers that you can use at both events. Make sure, of course, that they are recipes that can be made ahead of time. That will save you the trouble of planning, shopping for, and pulling out the ingredients for two different recipes. And as long as you don't see the exact same group of friends, no one will be any wiser to your shortcut.
