Whether your teenager invited friends over, you’re watching the big game, or have last-minute guests, these tips will help when entertaining at home.

When you have a teenager, the chances of last-minute entertaining is pretty high, especially on big sports days. Let’s be honest, it’s quite high any day of the week.
Putting together food for them can be done in no time and with little cost.
Pizza is always a big hit and it’s so quick and easy. If you have a few minutes to run to the grocery store, my Vons (Safeway) store had DiGiorno pizza on sale for $3.99 a box today. Much cheaper than ordering delivery.
Setting up a table for entertaining can be just as quick and cost-effective, and can be put together in the time it takes for the pizza to heat in the oven.
Pizza party must-haves
- pizza – don’t forget vegetarian or gluten-free options for guests with food allergies
- small bowls filled with crushed red pepper and cheese
- pizza cutters
- plates
- napkins
- serving-ware
You don’t need to run out to the local party store to purchase football-themed decorations to put together a great food table at the last minute.
