Remember when I mentioned that we’d start throwing in a meal to have people over? We’re doing it! Right this moment, think of another couple or a few friends or another family that you enjoy spending time with, or would like to know better. Invite them over, tell them to bring wine, you are making cauliflower pasta, a super simple salad, and ice cream sundaes. First sell: this meal is super affordable. Second: collectively, to prep all this will take you an hour if you hustle, which is not that big of a deal, all things considered, especially because you can prep some in advance. I am including a fool-proof magic shell recipe as our treat this week. You pick up a quart of your favorite ice cream, make a batch of two-ingredient magic shell, sprinkles are optional, but definitely cute and popular with the little people (we love these India Tree sprinkles). There is nothing that feels as lovely as sitting around a table with friends - laughing, eating, being hospitable.

I’m aiming to set you up for success with the tips. Whether you do this on a work night or weekend, you can get a few things done in advance, so you aren’t all flustered in the kitchen. I’ll put this in my @sk_cookingclub stories on Monday, in case it helps to visually see a few notes or in case you have any questions. Entertaining is an intimidating word, so let’s not call it that, you’re just “having people over,” It’ll be fun. Someone already told you what to make.

Remember: people care about your company! Not your house or if the meal is perfect or if your toddler threw a noodle at your face in rage - what matters is that you welcomed people to your table. Amen. Tag me in your pictures please!
