If there are a lot of products left after the celebration, then some can be frozen in the refrigerator, for example, chicken, meatballs, sausage, pancakes and cheesecakes, fish and many others. So they will remain fresh and significantly reduce the time for cooking in the future, it will be enough just to get them out and warm them up.

Complete the list. What options for delicious and inexpensive dishes do you prepare for the holiday?

Traditionally, the feast is associated with an abundance of snacks and complex gourmet dishes. Times are changing, and the modern pace of life dictates new rules to housewives, that is, you want to set the table in a hurry, surprise guests and at the same time save the budget.

This is not about serving semi-finished products as a treat that you just need to warm up, but about how to spend a minimum of time preparing a delicious dinner and amaze guests with your culinary skills.

It is natural that the first thing to do is to make a menu. Organizational issues are usually resolved in advance, but it also happens that guests suddenly come unexpectedly and you have to improvise.

However, even in a situation where you have to act decisively, there are several options. First and most important, every housewife should have a few simple and quick-to-prepare dishes and snacks in stock, in order, in extreme cases, to quickly navigate.

By the way, more attention should be paid to appetizers, because they are the most popular among guests at a festive feast.

The second and important point is the table setting. A beautiful new tablecloth, bright cutlery and glasses must be in the house and they should be taken out on occasion.

This does not mean that you need to spend all your savings on expensive porcelain, today there are many alternative options. For example, you can buy “just in case” several plates and salad bowls made in the same style, and leave them until better times, that is, when guests arrive.

The same goes for glasses, they may not be made of crystal, but they should have an attractive appearance.

In addition, you need to take into account the fact that table setting is a whole art. All items must be made in the same style and create a harmonious composition.

So, in order for the preparation for the feast to take a minimum of time, you need to designate several recipes for yourself in advance and purchase festive dishes.

Grocery list

What is needed to prepare this or that dish or the hostess should know herself. That is, she must draw up a menu in advance if, for example, some solemn event is just around the corner, or in case guests come suddenly.

If we are talking about how to whip up a festive table quickly and inexpensively, then the ingredients should be available. For example, when friends or relatives swooped in without warning or informed at the very last moment, treats had to be served from what was in the refrigerator.

Therefore, in stock, every housewife should always have simple products in stock. Here is a list of what you can whip up:

• canned fish and vegetables
• home preservation
• mayonnaise, sauce, spices
• seasonal and frozen vegetables and fruits
• compotes
• meat, fish or poultry
• frozen or canned mushrooms

In general, from the entire list above, you can easily prepare a delicious holiday. And if there is an opportunity, time and money to run to the store, then you can buy ready-made salads, semi-finished products, desserts and much more.

So, the festive table usually consists of one hot dish of several salads, appetizers, cold cuts of meat and fish, dessert and tea. If you clearly think over your actions, then it will take no more than 2 hours to cook everything.

An important secret, if a festive table is being prepared in a hurry and inexpensively for ten people, then you should not cut the whole bowl, you need to calculate portions of about 100-150 grams per person, each dish. A simple calculation will save time and money.

A hot appetizer is traditionally a meat or fish product and a side dish. There are many ways to cook everything quickly. The easiest cooking method that does not require constant attention is baking in the oven or slow cooker, in extreme cases in the microwave.

For example, in the oven you can bake meat or chicken with potatoes in cream. The ingredients are quite simple and inexpensive, taking about one hour, depending on the power of the kitchen appliance.

To reduce the cooking time, you can cover the container with foil, so the products are more juicy and fragrant.

The fastest way to cook meat or fish along with vegetables is to bake in the microwave. So you can bring a kilogram of chicken legs in a sleeve or special heat-resistant bags to readiness in just 15-20 minutes.

The only drawback of this method is that everyone's favorite crisp will not work, but the product will be saturated with salt and spices, remaining juicy and fragrant.

Salads

Not a single festive feast is complete without. There are so many recipes that choosing two or three with simple and inexpensive ingredients will not be a problem.

But when choosing the right options, you should be guided by a few simple rules. To begin with, these are the ingredients, you should focus on salads, which include simple products, these are vegetables, meat, sausages, eggs, canned food.

If you need to urgently cook vegetables, such as beets, carrots or potatoes, then you can do it in 5 minutes in the oven. To do this, place the ingredients in a plastic bag and make a few holes in it for steam to escape.

Then you should set the maximum power and time from 3 to 5 minutes. Similarly, any product can be brought to readiness, except for the liver and eggs.

Dressing will help improve the taste of the salad, make it original and unique. Traditionally, salads are smeared with vegetable oil, mayonnaise or sour cream.

But if there are other tasty and simple seasonings that make the taste of products more vivid and rich. In a salad of fresh vegetables, you can add a drop of vinegar and a grated clove of garlic, in meat or fish - mustard or horseradish.

Soy sauce, ketchup, tomato paste are suitable as additives. By the way, the main flavoring additive for any salad is fresh herbs.

Snacks and cuts

The choice of snacks is huge, there are an unlimited number of recipes, which means that it is quite possible to choose delicious, not expensive and fast ones. Armenian lavash rolls with stuffing are very popular.

The only drawback is that the appetizer must be infused before serving, otherwise it will be difficult to cut it evenly. As a filling, you can use cheese, mayonnaise, sticks, fish, sausages, vegetables, greens, an egg.

A fairly simple, unpretentious snack is canapés and sandwiches. Here you don’t have to be a chef or spend hours looking for recipes, you can safely improvise.

For canapes, everything that is currently in the refrigerator is suitable: cheese, cheese, smoked sausage, eggs, preferably quail, vegetables, grapes, olives or black olives.

It is very important to choose products that taste well with each other, if you can’t make the right choice on your own, it’s better to look for ready-made recipes. For canapés, you can use toothpicks instead of skewers.

A great option is baguette sandwiches. Such an appetizer is quite common on festive tables and is in demand among guests, especially if there are children among the guests.

The content itself depends only on the culinary fantasies of the hostess herself. Traditional options, red caviar and butter, but far from budget, processed cheese and fish, sprats and cucumber.

The last appetizer, the preparation of which does not take much time and does not entail extra costs, is stuffed eggs. There are also many filling options, for example, minced meat or fish, cheese, egg yolk and mayonnaise with garlic and herbs.

In general, you can decorate an ordinary chicken egg beautifully, you just need to show a little imagination.

It is difficult to imagine a festive table without cutting. By the way, cutting sausages, cheeses, vegetables or fish is not a time-consuming event.

Therefore, if there is absolutely no time to cook salads and snacks in large quantities, you should compensate for them with an abundance of various cuts. And so that several varieties of chopped smoked meat do not look too “sad” on the festive table, you should arrange the serving in an original way, for example, roll the slices in the idea of ​​​​rolls.

Dessert

At the birthday party, as a rule, a cake completes the celebration, but its preparation will take quite a long time. Although you can find cake recipes without baking, you still have to spend a lot of effort.

An easier and more budgetary way to surprise guests with a delicious dessert after holiday snacks is this. To prepare it, you will need a little flour, butter, a couple of eggs, a glass of sugar and slaked soda with vinegar.

Cooking time no more than 40 minutes in the oven. In addition, berries, fruits, dried fruits or nuts can be added to the dough. Serve guests a delicious treat with jam, jam, honey or condensed milk.

Decorations for salads and desserts

Each housewife can emphasize her individuality and demonstrate her culinary skills with the help of vegetable decorations. It will not take much time, but will certainly delight and surprise guests.

What products can be used for decoration:

• eggs, chicken or quail
• cucumbers
• boiled carrots
• tomatoes
• canned green peas
• corn
• olives or olives

It is more expedient for the manufacture of decorative elements to use the same ingredients that are part of the salad, so as not to spoil the taste.

For example, a simple vegetable vinaigrette with the help of simple impromptu flowers cut from boiled beets and carrots with parsley or dill can be turned into a real festive dish. Similarly, you can arrange other salads.

Now a little about the technology for making decorative elements for salad, by the way, such manipulations will not take much time, and the mood will be unforgettable. So, in order to collect a flower, you will need a sharp small knife and the raw material itself, which should be carefully cut into a thin ribbon in order to subsequently roll it into a bud of an impromptu flower.

Desserts can also be given an original aesthetic look. For example, at the end of a festive feast, it is worth offering guests ice cream decorated with chocolate chips, coconut flakes, and pieces of fruit.

What not to do

To begin with, it should be noted that you do not need to buy ready-made foods in stores, especially salads. Because it is too expensive and the quality of the product is highly questionable.

The same applies to semi-finished products, despite the fact that with the purchase of ready-made frozen dishes, the time for preparing a festive dinner is minimized, guests can hardly be surprised and delighted with such a treat.

Particular attention should be paid to the fact that you should not put products on the festive table that quickly deteriorate and lose their attractive appearance. These include jelly and aspic, these products will quickly melt.

When compiling the menu, you need to carefully consider the composition of the dishes, because some recipes are designed only for "amateurs".

For example, not everyone will like a salad, which includes meat combined with sweets. This fact must be taken into account and when cooking, try to focus on the preferences of each guest individually.

The last advice - you should not prepare a new dish for the festive table for the first time, it is better to experiment in advance, because the surprise may fail and the product will not live up to expectations.

Welcome dear guests!

“One evening, evening, evening, when the guys, frankly, have nothing to do.” And suddenly these guys have a wonderful idea, and whether they should go to visit you. And at this time you are sitting, suspecting nothing, on the couch, drinking cocoa in the evening and amusing yourself with the thought of a magical strawberry bubble bath. And then the bell, like a bolt from the blue, threw you up and you start rushing around the kitchen with only one thought - what to cook in a hurry.
But STOP!!! Why do we need to rush? As you know, a real woman can make three things out of nothing: a salad, a hat and a scandal. But you and I are real women, and no one dares to doubt it. We will deal with the hat and the scandal later, but now I propose to discuss in this article recipes for dishes that take several minutes to cook.

To begin with, we make an audit in the refrigerator and see what fast food products are, it is possible eggs, sausages, cheese, mayonnaise, vegetables, fruits, herbs, conservation. Then we inspect the freezer, there may be dumplings, pizza base, crab meat, dough, assorted vegetables, and also look into the box with preservation - canned fish, meat, vegetables and mushrooms.

We have a lot of guests, mostly friends, so I always keep an emergency supply of food in the freezer and in the grocery box. Below you will see a list that I call “Guests on the doorstep”, according to which I specifically purchase products for such cases. Even if they are not needed on the occasion of the arrival of guests, they will still come in handy, you can always cook food in haste from them.

As a rule, guests come with something delicious for tea, so we temporarily forget about dessert and throw all our efforts into instant dishes.

Quick snacks.

1. 1. Cheese snack. The simplest, rub the cheese into a grater, add garlic squeezed through a press, herbs and mayonnaise. Cheese can be replaced with cottage cheese, it turns out very well too. This mass can be wrapped in thin pita bread, simply spread on bread, on a cracker, put in halves of boiled eggs, on chopped tomatoes or cucumbers, wrapped in thin slices of ham, as well as in lettuce leaves. If there is time before the arrival of guests, you can bake, subject to the availability of a test.
   2. Fish snack. Open the canned fish, drain the oil, remember with a fork, remove the bones, crumble boiled eggs, finely chopped onions, previously scalded with boiling water, and mayonnaise. You can also wrap this mass in pita bread, spread it on bread, put it in eggs (here crumble the yolks inside the fish mass, and leave the whites for stuffing).
   3. Sandwich with sprats. If sprats are found and if there is time to fry rye bread in a toaster and rub it with garlic, then you can make sandwiches. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bread, put a piece of sprat, next to a piece of lemon or pickled cucumber. You can do without a toaster by toasting bread in a pan.
   4. Sandwich with Korean carrots and meat. If there is a Korean carrot, take rye bread, spread mayonnaise, carrot on top, pre-cut it smaller, a piece of meat or sausage on top.

You can also cut crab sticks + cheese + a piece of pepper or tomato.

   7. Roll with salmon in pita bread. Spread a thin sheet of pita bread with melted cheese, put thin slices of salmon and chopped dill, roll up and cut. If there is no processed cheese, you can grease with curd cheese, or just mayonnaise. Roll with salmon from this will not be worse.
   8. Pizza It will also come in handy on a fast table. Making pizza, having a base in the freezer, is easy and fast even for the youngest and most inexperienced hostess. I always make pizza with any topping like this: first of all, I smear the base with a thin layer of ketchup, the last - cheese and mayonnaise, in this sequence. Most often, I cut any ready-made meat products into the middle, rub pickled cucumber into a grater, cut onions into thin half rings. If there are tomatoes, fine, I put them in thin rings, there are olives, even better, I also cut them into rings and put them, evenly distributing them over the surface. There is no basis for pizza, you can use a loaf, you get hot sandwiches, even easier, just sausage, tomato, cheese and mayonnaise.
