Throw a Smorgasbord
Looking for a new way to have a gathering for your favorite friends and family over that is low-key and easy on the host and the hostess? Go Smorgasbord!
A smorgasbord is an easy way to have a get together that will allow each guest to fill their plates and get the items they want as well as skip the items they don't want. You can have a theme such as all Italian dishes like spaghetti and lasagna, Chinese favorites like fried rice, eggrolls and stir fry or include a "Mom's Home Cooking" night that has old comfort foods such as macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, roasted chicken, corn on the cob and more.
Presenting a smorgasbord is easy. Just have the plates and silverware (or chopsticks if you're going for Asian cuisine); and you can use a
buffet or sideboard to hold the various dishes, breads and a small table for holding plates and silverware. Whether you're using separate places to hold your appetizers, main entrees, sides and dessert items is entirely up to you. Some people prefer to mix and match while others perfect to lay out the courses separately.
And that's the beauty of a smorgasbord, it's casual and how it is arranged is entirely up the host or hostess. The small amount of preparation that is involved gives a person throwing the party time to enjoy the fun instead of constantly running back and forth to the kitchen. Enjoy your next gathering and throw a smorgasbord!
