Jen McKinneyGUEST
That said, if there's something a little bit more involved, there are some steps which Karen can talk to you about.

Karen KaplanGUEST
Oftentimes, actually every time that we are planning on hosting something, we talk about it like a week before.

Karen KaplanGUEST
We think about it a week before, at least a few days before, and try to envision what the meal is.

Karen KaplanGUEST
What are we serving? What do we want to build something around? So maybe you pick one thing to focus on and then what's that recipe? What ingredients do I need? Start building a little grocery list off to the side.

Karen KaplanGUEST
And then what kind of sides do I want to serve with it? And so if the overwhelm is like the whole thing, pick maybe just a main course or really star salad.
