How to Host a Holiday Gathering with Zoës Kitchen

Good morning, y’all!  I am so excited for all that this week holds in the build up to Christmas Eve and Day.  DG and I hosted our fifth annual Christmas party, which we feel always set the tone for the holidays for us.  It felt like it took longer for us to get our decorations set this year, but we had a great time with our house, and our party was a breeze this year.  That was because Zoës Kitchen provided us with the Live Med Party Pack.

Zoës Kitchen is a favorite restaurant of mine, and I was so excited to share some of my favorite dishes with our friends.  The Live Med Party Pack includes rosemary ham and mozzarella piadinas, spinach and mushroom piadinas, Live Med Salad with additional toppings on the side, fresh fruit, Classic Hummus and Basil Pesto Hummus with pita, and hibiscus green tea.   Our friends raved about the food, and the spinach and mushroom piadinas were a huge hit!  One of our friends commented that was a particular combination he would shy away from but he was going back for thirds.  This was the perfect amount of food for 25 guests.  I will never host another party without using Zoës Kitchen!  It was out of this world food and it was a breeze setting up thanks to Zoës Kitchen.

Here are my before pictures when DG and I were in the set up phase:

I hope you have a happy Monday!  Be sure to link up with Biana and me for the last weekending of 2017!

I was provided with a Live Med Party Pack by Zoës Kitchen.  As always, my opinion is 100% my own.
