Holiday Entertaining

(page 1 of 6)

Your guide for how to throw an upscale charity bash at home, how to feed your family with better buffet options, how to fancy-up the office potluck, how to fill your home with good smells and more.

The holidays are for celebrating, and many of us celebrate many times over at parties with our friends, our families, our coworkers. What to do when it’s your turn to play host? Experts in 417-land lend their knowledge and experience to offer suggestions for how you can make your holiday events a success.

A Branson chef shows you how to put together a clever mashed-potato buffet that serves double duty: impressing the guests and being easy on the host. Three Springfield restaurants offer portable, delicious recipes that will make the office potluck a little nicer and much tastier. We’ve even found ways for you to use your winter celebrations for the greater good: The Wine, Dine and Donate charity fundraising party that’s totally D.I.Y. (with just a little help from 417mag.com).

From dinner party fashion and ways to make your home smell nice to a sure-fire crowd pleasing chili recipe and party-time etiquette, we’ve created a holiday entertaining guide to make your 417-land parties great. —Katie Pollock
