Make it easy on yourself.

And food doesnt have to be fancy to be delicious or to be memorable.

And use your best china.

What are you saving it for?

Make a meatloaf and put it on that china that you got for your wedding.

You Dont Have to Stick to the Dining Room

I really like casual entertaining.

Everybodys just mixing and mingling and relaxed …

If the host is relaxed, everybody else is too.

If the host is uptight and nervous, everybody else will be that way too.

The guest bathroom is really important.

And speaking of neat and tidy, see to it that you have that guest bathroom sparkly.

Always put a discreetly placed plunger …

I think that your bathrooms getting used a lot, and that helps avoid any kind of embarrassing situation.

I do like to decorate the table.

I think it does make things special.

Its not something that I spend a lot of time doing, but I like small flower arrangements.

And then I set the table.

I think white dishes always look really good.

And then whatever color napkin I wanna play around with for the table setting.

Thats kind of where I mix things up, are the napkins.

Thats where I get crazy these days.
