#136: Tips for Hosting a Summer Potluck or Cook Out

from The Plan to Eat Podcast · host Plan to Eat

This week, we're talking about one of our favorite parts of summer, getting together with people over food. In this episode, we're getting into all things potlucks and group gatherings, from the nostalgia of food to the practical side of actually hosting a group meal. We talk through what makes a potluck successful, what dishes hold up well (and which ones you might want to reconsider), how to handle dietary needs for your guests, and why a themed potluck might be the best idea you haven't tried yet! We also get into the stressful parts of hosting, and share some advice for making it feel more enjoyable and less overwhelming.Listen to Linda's interview about party planning and hosting here! Sign up for a free trial + get 20% off your first annual subscription: plantoeat.com/PTEPODContact us: [email protected] with Plan to Eat online:InstagramFacebookPinterest
