Feeding a Crowd
There are a couple of things that can be done that will help move things along. The first thing to do is to prep appetizers and finger foods. These don’t need to be as extravagant as the Thanksgiving dessert recipes. In fact, they could be as simple as chips and dips. But there needs to be something to keep people satisfied until dinner.
The next thing is to involve as many people as possible. You won’t want everyone in the kitchen while you’re trying to cook. But you also don’t want to feel like the only one cooking a giant meal. Get a few family members who know the difference between boil and simmer to help out.

Tips for Serving Dessert
Dessert can be a bit tricky since you will not be in the kitchen cooking while dinner is being served. But you also don’t want to serve cold desserts, unless they’re meant to be served cold. How do we get this done? Prep, prep is the answer. The goal should be to prep as much of the desserts as possible.
For example, you can easily make cakes the day before or pies can go in the oven as soon as you are about to leave the kitchen to eat with your family. You can also be strategic and pick out only recipes that are meant to be served cold like a cheesecake or trifles. This way, you can make them days in advance and keep them refrigerated until served.
