Spice of Blythe: We’ve Got Company!

Posted

DALLAS -- We've all had those days when nothing's going right: the kids won't stop screaming, the dogs have torn the house to pieces, or we just haven't gotten enough sleep.

And then we get The Call, "Hey honey, my boss/clients/friends are coming over for dinner!"

Ugh!

What do you do?  Not cooking. Ain't nobody got time for that!

But with a few simple steps, you can turn the stuff that's already in your fridge and pantry into a lavish picnic that will wow your guests.

Toast some bread and slice it into "crackers!"

Slice up some fresh fruit, add sugar, and boom!  Fruit salad.

Throw some nuts in a bowl!

Heck, if you've got some salmon, blend it up with some sour cream and spices, and you've got a quick and dirty dip.

And surely, you've got a bottle of wine around somewhere. Chill that sucker and put it out. No one cares how cheap it is!

The Spice of Blythe?  You already have everything you need to make a great impression.  So, take a deep breath and some advice from the master, and you'll be pleasing that crowd in no time flat.
