absorbing Overnight House Guests - Made Easy

I have truly enjoyed interesting overnight house guests and since we live in Florida near a gorgeous beach, we have guests who look send to the turn in scene and for some to get away from frigid weather up north. It is fun and enjoyable plainly because of pre-planning and organization.

Below are some tips that work very well for interesting overnight guests:

Meat Casseroles

*Planning - put together a plan for meals to be served together with breakfast, lunch and dinner far in expand to allow adequate time to shop for groceries and have the right food on hand.

*Food making ready - prepare most foods ahead, ice or refrigerate.

*Breakfast - this meal tends to be more difficult to prepare in advance. Have on hand cereals, yogurts, protein powder to make smoothies, fresh fruit, eggs, bacon/sausage, pancake mix, frozen waffles. making ready omelets and pancakes makes breakfast special and my guests enjoy watching this activity. Also, I have on hand a few additions so that my guests can personalize their omelet.

*Lunch - sandwiches are the quickest and easiest to prepare. Have on hand a range of deli meats, tomatoes, dressings. Box salad mixes work well along with a range of bottled dressings. Leftovers from dinner the night before also works well together with fried chicken, cold sliced roast beef served over salad greens topped with dressing.

*Dinners - meals that can be made ahead include casseroles, tomato sauce, either with meat or marinara style, fried breaded chicken breast. I do the breading early in the day and refrigerate till ready to fry. Fry an hour before serving, and place in a warm oven. This gives you added time to set the table, prepare a salad and visit with guests. I also prepare breaded veal cutlets and fry in extra virgin olive oil or bake until brown. An easy meal is serving the cutlets with lemon slices, a vegetable and a salad. Also, the cutlets can be served cold the next day in a sandwich.

*Morning Coffee - if you have an auto-timer coffee maker, prepare coffee the night before and set to the time guest awake. Have cups, sweetener, and cream set out for guests to help themselves until breakfast is prepared.

*Preparing the House -place an alarm clock in the bedroom. Have adequate hangers in the closet and furnish drawer space. Find a space to store luggage.

*Bathroom - should be adequate with fresh soap at the sink and in the shower along with shampoo and conditioner. Have an extra furnish of towels stored in a favorable place for guests to reach. Since traveling by air these days makes packing some toiletries difficult, have on hand in the guest bathroom small bottles of lotion, toothpaste, toothbrush, small size Box of aspirin/ibuprofen, Band-Aids, even a spare hairdryer can come in handy. I also like to include a small Box of Tums, as it's easy to over indulge when on vacation and all the time have a few extra rolls of toilet tissue.

*When Children Come To Visit - keeping children entertained is easy. Just be sure to have things like books, puzzles, crayons, paper, scissors, and Silly Putty. Also have a small range of toys and a large basket to store the toys, making cleanup easy. Kids can sometimes be picky eaters, but most children enjoy chicken fingers, macaroni and cheese, bagels, waffles, canned soups and fresh fruit.

I have found planning in expand has made my time with guests relaxing and gives me more time to spend visiting with them.
