Parties are full of all the things we love...getting together with family & friends, sharing conversation and laughter, and eating delicious food.

Whether you're cheering on the home team, celebrating a birthday or anniversary, hosting the kids' friends for a slumber party, or getting together for a casual game night or movie night, Quick & Easy Party Recipes will help you make it memorable. Fill the appetizer table with creamy dips and spreads, crunchy snack mixes, spicy chicken wings and savory sausages...there's something for everyone! For heartier appetites, platters of sliders or sandwich loaves, cheesy nachos and saucy ribs are just the ticket. Cook up a big pot of chowder or bake a comfort-food casserole, and round out the menu with a big veggie-packed salad. Dessert is really the star of the show...a sheet pan chocolate cake or sweet fruit tart will feed a crowd.

You can plan a whole party menu with the recipes in this book, or jazz up your tried & true favorites with just one or two new-to-you treats. They're all so easy, you'll spend less time in the kitchen! You'll also find helpful entertaining tips to make party planning a breeze.
