Look here each Monday for a new tip to make entertaining a snap.

Prepare Now for the Leftovers

Do you ever find that you'd like to send your guests home with leftovers, but have nothing to send them in? I know that after losing several nice bowls by sending them off with leftovers, I had to come up with a different solution. 

Now, whenever I have a takeout meal that comes in disposable plastic containers (such as soup from a Chinese restaurant), I save a few of those containers. Although they're not designed for longtime storage or multiple uses, they are perfect for sending away with people. By planning ahead, I've avoided spending extra money on those disposable plastic containers now sold in the supermarket, or losing any other bowls.

If you have a tip you'd like to share, you can now use our simple submission form. If selected, I will post it with your name in future weeks.
