From Health<\/a> magazine<\/i><\/p>\n You love having people over but loathe the inevitable party-planning anxiety: How will I get everything done in time? Do I have enough food? Thankfully, there are simple ways to minimize the stress and maximize the fun.<\/p>\n Perfect planning<\/b> As for the menu, streamline it, Adams suggests. To avoid standing over a hot barbecue grill<\/a> through the entire party, serve sausages, which can be boiled ahead of time and finished on the grill. Better yet? Jazz up prepared foods with fresh ingredients: Buy steamed shrimp, and cook penne according to package directions; toss with jarred pesto. Another idea: Saute shrimp with garlic, salt, and pepper to taste; serve on top of pasta.<\/p>\n
