Restaurant-Inspired Party Tips

Recipe 26/52 for my 30 before 30 list. I am making and blogging about one new recipe a week. The holidays are here! It is time to get together with friends and family members. I thought I would share some restaurant-inspired party tips and include a delicious fried rice recipe.

Restaurant-Inspired Party Tips

DECIDE YOUR DATE AND THEME

I decided to go with an Asian themed dinner. We love going out for Hibachi, Sushi and Chinese food so this was perfect. We also love having a lot of appetizers and side dishes at our parties rather then one large main dish.

INVITE YOUR GUESTS

There are a few friends we always invite to our parties. Thankfully they are always willing to try my food and go along with my crazy ideas. I am sure you all know some friends that are like that!

PLAN YOUR FOOD

Restaurant-Inspired Party Tips + Fried Rice Recipe | #TaiPeiGoodFortune #CollectiveBias #ad

This could be the hardest part of the dinner party. OR you could make it easy and serve already made Tai Pei Egg Rolls AND Spring Rolls. These are so easy to make. Just pop them in the oven at 450 for 15 to 20 minutes. Plus they come with the dipping sauce already. Sweet! I bought the Shrimp Egg Rolls and the Mini Chicken Spring Rolls. My favorite were the shrimp egg rolls with their delicious crispy wrappers filled with fresh cut veggies and hearty shrimp.

Tai-Pei-Rolls

Tai Pei combines authentic Asian-style cuisine; exciting, traditional flavor varieties; and a fun takeout-style experience ready to eat in just minutes. While they were cooking, I took my cooled white rice and made some Fried Rice. Yumm!

Restaurant-Inspired Party Tips + Fried Rice Recipe | #TaiPeiGoodFortune #CollectiveBias #adGATHER YOUR DECORATIONS

If I was going to have an Asian Party I would buy some red and gold paper lanterns, red napkins, chopsticks. I like to make my own paper party decorations, therefore I would make some food tents to let my guests know what kind of rolls and sauces I have. I would also make/buy take out boxes and include a fortune cookie and maybe another type of Asian dessert.

MAKE PLENTY OF LISTS

You will need a lot of to do lists to make sure your complete everything for your party. Make one for food, cleaning, decorations, guests, etc.

Where to find Tai Pei:

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶 It Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.
