So you have already heard that I have been in caught in interstate moving turmoil this past month, but what you don't know is that it has drug on for about 45 days. It is a long long story and I won't bore you with the details. Needless to say that when asked to make a fun dish for a party not too long ago, I was stumped. I still have no kitchen, no pots and pans and basically no crafting supplies. Sometimes you have to lean on the convenient no-fuss things that are out there in stores today. Hence, today's topic. Ideas for you when you must create something fabulous in a pinch. Of course, I've linked to recipes as well - if you are so inclined.

You may also remember the popcorn post I did last year that offered some other tasty ideas. I set up a popcorn bar at the last party I attended and - honestly? - I bought the flavored popcorn from a nearby gourmet popcorn shop. Super easy!

Most (if not all) of these ideas can be done in a pinch by purchasing the ingredients right off your grocer's shelves. Don't get me wrong...there's nothing like homemade! But that just isn't realistic all the time. So give yourselves a break every once and a while and cheat a little! I promise I won't tell.
Happy Fourth of July!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
