[quote=Anonymous]I love hosting but it sounds like you hate it. Next time you have your hosting date, plan a trip or an appt so you leave in the morning and walk back in 15m after everyone arrives. Tell your husband he’s in charge and ask what you can do to help before you leave (like grocery shop with a list or make a dish from a recipe). Otherwise I agree with everyone else, develop a formula (mine is fish in parchment with couscous and salad or tenderloin and roast vegetables). Simplify/make ahead. Cookie dough freezes beautifully and you can bake from frozen. Trader Joe’s has great frozen apps. Plan what goes into/onto what dish/bowl etc and put a post-it on the dishes so anyone can help with serving. [/quote]
