I love playing hostess and throwing parties. It’s so much fun to plan a theme, pick out décor, and serve amazing food and drinks. The thing that most people struggle with in terms of planning is how to determine exactly how much of each item to prepare or order. Well fear not my party planning friends because I’ve found an easy reference chart to help you out! Today’s post is short and sweet but check out the chart below to help you figure out exactly how much to serve at a party.

I found this chart on Pinterest and just had to share! Be sure to click the photo and scroll down to number 26 to see the full size chart!

I was born a foodie. My dad is a chef, baker, and restaurant owner and my mom might as well be because she owns whatever kitchen she walks into. I grew up working in my family’s restaurant and bakery in Pawling, New York – McKinney and Doyle. I started behind the bakery counter at 12 years old after begging my parents to let me start working. At 16 I worked as a hostess. By 18 I was serving tables and training behind the bar where I then worked every other weekend throughout my college career. Even now, when I am visiting my family in New York, I help out where I’m needed. To make a long story short, the food and restaurant industry has been my life for as long as I can remember.

I wanted to create this blog for a few reasons. First and foremost, to share tips, tricks, and knowledge about the food and beverage industry in general but also to help people see a different side of the restaurant world. Every restaurant has a totally unique culture and world within it. I want to help open people’s eyes to more than how fast the service is or how easy or hard it is to secure a reservation.

So, thanks for stopping by! I welcome your ideas, input, and feedback and hope you enjoy!

Eat well & travel often,
