I recently hosted my friends for the exchanging of our Secret Santa gifts at my apartment. Cramming 9 girls into a studio is no easy fete, but I think I’ve figured out a layout that involves moving my large couch that can accommodate everyone.

Please note I worked from home the day I put this together, but easy appetizers are much more fun than a formal dinner party and includes less cleanup.

Here was my menu:

• Skinnytaste Zuccini Fries
• Pioneer Woman’s Artichoke Dip
• Pigs in a Blanket
• Joy of Cooking Lemon Rosemary Chicken Skewers
• Skinnytaste Broccoli Macaroni and Cheese
• Cheese Plate

And here are the final products! (Excuse the dug into cheese plate. I forgot to grab a picture beforehand. Also, my friends and I are obsessed with cheese so there was no chance that anything was going to be left at the end of the night.)
