I love having dinner parties and hosting guests, but eventually the cost of large meals starts to add up. So what’s my solution? Potlucks.
Not only do you still get to have everyone over, but you cut costs by having each guest bring something – whether it’s a main dish, a salad, or drinks. Plus, you get to sample everyone else’s cooking and save yourself time and stress!
We’ve been hosting potluck dinner parties nearly every week at my house. This week I’m making Roasted Potatoes with Herbed Goat Cheese and Thyme
Does hosting potlucks simplify my life? Absolutely.

With my big family this will make holidays much easier! Thanks!
You know, I think sometimes we make entertaining too hard. We think we have to be some kind of Martha Stewart, when what really counts is getting together with friends. Thanks for the reminder.
I agree with you! Plus, if you stress out so much about it then it’s not fun – and that’s really the goal.
