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:

Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest kid to lose their first tooth.

It’s been loose for awhile, but when she bit a lollipop at school today it became super loose and started bleeding. Then she was crying. I went to pick her up and by the time I had gotten there she had pulled it out, it had stopped bleeding, and she had stopped crying. Still can’t believe she is old enough to be losing teeth. 🦷

Nothing spectacular, but she was excited. Of course I had to film it so it was bokeh, cause it is so much prettier that way.
