I've often heard and seen that the real key is in the presentation of the food. That's why higher end restaurants will always use linens and real silverware. (I'm all for paper plates and plastic ware, but if you're trying to impress - go for the real thing). :) Another idea I've often seen is to take various-shaped boxes and place them on the table, and drape it all with an extra large tablecloth. Then, arrange the food on top of the boxes. It really is true that small things make a big difference. Nice post.

One thing I like to do is plan large meals around things on sale at the grocery store. I like to scan the sales fliers and plan my meals based on what's on sale. If I pick a couple things that look good, then I can plan a meal around that. Thanks for the great suggestions. One thing I like to do is plan large meals around things on sale at the grocery store.
