RecipesLet “Go-To” Recipes Get Your Party StartedPosted 1/21/2011
(NAPSI) - From New Year’s to tailgating parties to any occasion throughout the year, pass on the pre-party frenzy and gear up with your favorite “go-to” recipes. You know those recipes that require minimal ingredients and prep time but always steal the show? Keep a party-ready pantry and your “go-to’s” will make it easier to get to what’s really important. Tips for a Party-Ready Pantry • Keep a list of “go-to” recipes handy. Looking for more? Visit www.oceanspray.com to create your very own stash of “go-to” recipes, or ask friends and family. • Be ready for last-minute guests. Stock up your pantry with ingredients like mustard, brown sugar and chili to perk up sauces and add a sweet or savory kick to any recipe you chose. • Presentation is everything-keep colorful plates, napkins, hors d’oeuvre picks and platter decorations at the ready. • Customize your “go-to” recipes for different events and party themes. Dream up fun serving suggestions like fancy glassware and garnishes or minivariations for each recipe. • Keep extra copies of your “go-to” recipes on hand to give to guests.
