Sometimes, it’s not a matter of having a fancy dinner, or dessert, it is a matter of how you present it. While most of us have become accustomed to just throwing things into serving dishes as is, it might be nice to occasionally spruce it up a little.
It may sound silly, but I can serve a bowl of mashed potatoes, and get no reaction. I can serve a bowl of mashed potatoes with a little parsley sprinked on top, or a simple pat of butter, and the family “ooohhh’s”. It just takes the little things to make a normal meal a bit more exciting and inviting.
Desserts can be made more enticing very simply as well. Sprinkling coconut over a coconut cream pie is one easy thing to do. Serving fruit with a “dip” is another thing. Mix Yogurt and coolwhip and you have a wonderful dip, now just arrange your fruit on a serving platter, and there you have it!
Just remember it doesn’t take much to dress up an otherwise hum-drum dinner. Try it and see if you notice a difference in your family’s reaction.
