Answer 1

Go to any of the warehouse clubs (Sam's Club, Costco, BJ's). If you don't have a membership or know someone who does, they sometimes have single visit coupons online. They have all kinds of platters (fruit, veggies, spinach dip w/ flatbreadbread , desserts, sandwiches, other appetizers) and all you have to do is take the lid off the platter. Gourmet delis provide these services as well.Or you can buy mini pizzas, chicken wings, egg rolls, flautas , quiches ( You can go Italian, Chinese, or Mexican). that are frozen and just use the microwave and/or oven to re-heat.
