cheer on theCHEAP!host a fabulous holiday party that wont break the bank

BY WYNNE EVERETT | MORE CONTENT NOW

DecorWhen youre decorating, think of thingsyou already have around the house or thatyou can use later, Amory said. I like toshop for decorations at the grocery store.

Amory said she likes to use bowls of fruitfor party decor. Choose one fruit, or onecolor of fruit, and place the bowls in severalrooms for a unifying look. Red apples orgreen apples with green pears work well,for instance. If you live near the coast,consider seashells displayed in a pretty

holiday bowl.I also like to use natural things, Amorysaid. Leaves or cuttings from outdoorscan be nice. It just gives a natural, organiclook.

For a Christmas party, try stapling theChristmas cards you receive to a long, thick,red ribbon and framing a door or windowwith the ribbon. Its festive, displays yourcards nicely and creates a conversationpiece.

Hosting a holiday get-together for friends and neighbors can be a budget-buster. After all, Christmas

and New Years parties traditionally call for formal and elaborate menus and decor. Author and

lifestyle expert Victoria Amory says you can have a sophisticated party without spending a fortune.

Something upscale doesnt have to be expensive, Amory says. It just has to be tasteful.

CocktailsSkip the full bar and offer ahouse drink along with acouple of alternatives like whitewine and soft drinks.

Making a house drink is a niceway to say, This is what weredrinking, Amory said.

She suggests choosing anunusual or festive cocktail maybe a holiday malt wine or amixed drink with pineapple juice to give the event a special-occasion feel.

For a cocktail party, I would reallysplurge and hire a bartender,Amory said. A lot of people usetheir older children or a friend,but they are able to serve thefirst drink and then they loseinterest.

FoodInstead of a sit-down dinner or full buffet,plan a party of heavy hors doeuvres. Choosefive to nine dishes, and keep the menu simpleand budget-friendly by making everydaydishes with a special twist. You can sort ofelevate the mundane, Amory said.

She suggests boiled baby potatoes with adipping sauce of mayonnaise with truffleoil. Potatoes arent exotic, but truffle oildefinitely signals this is a special occasion.

Make sure one or two dishes will appeal tohealthy eaters. Amory suggests thick-slicedcucumber rounds topped with sour creammixed with lemon juice and rolled smokedsalmon. Its pretty and good for guests whoare watching their weight and avoidingbread.

For a New Years celebration, considerhaving a New Years Day brunch instead ofa New Years Eve party. You can serve chiliwith cornbread.

BAKE EATREPEATCOMFORTING CASSEROLE RECIPES

Faced with hosting a dinner during the holiday season,casseroles can be nothing short of a lifesaver. Whetheraccounting for an entire meal or a hearty, filling side, a casseroleis a warm, stick-to-your ribs dish that will fit right in with yourcozy holiday atmosphere. Three tips for making the most of allyour holiday casseroles:

Dont be afraid to substitute ingredients for somethingfresher or more flavorful.Instead of crispy fried onions froma canister (that many traditional casseroles suggest) try fryingup your own fresh onions or shallots, with or without a littlebreading. Try crisping up some smoky bacon or prosciutto tosprinkle on top of your finished product. And of course, lest we

forget the cheese, you can always consider choosing a cheeseto melt atop your one-dish-wonder if your recipe doesntalready call for one.

Practice time management. Casserole bake-time affordsthe perfect opportunity for multi-tasking, particularly if yourguests are of the last-minute variety. While your dish is in theoven, youll have plenty of time to whip up a quick salad or tidyup and set the table.

Make it a theme night!Breakfast casseroles or casseroles withinternational ingredients provide an excellent excuse for atheme night, perfect when youre in need of distraction fromholiday stress.

Butternut Squash and Cheese Panade

10 slices artisan-style multigrain or whole-wheat bread(about 12 oz.)

2 sweet onions, halved and thinly sliced

1 lb. butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1 cubes

2 T. extra-virgin olive oil

1 T. chopped fresh sage or 1 t. dried

2 t. chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 t. dried

1 1/4 t. salt

Coarsely ground black pepper

4 C. homemade or canned reduced-sodiumchicken or vegetable broth

1 1/2 C. (6 oz.) grated gruyere or Swiss cheese

Preheat oven to 350. Tear bread into 1 pieces and bake until crisp,stirring once, 10-12 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400.

Combine onion and squash in a large bowl. Add oil, sage, thyme, saltand pepper. Toss well. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.Roast until onions begin to brown and squash is fork-tender, 22 to 25minutes.

Coat a 13 x 9-inch baking dish or 12 (1-cup) or 6 (2-cup) ovenproofbowls or ramekins with cooking spray. Place bread in a single layer inthe bottom of pan or bowl. Distribute half the squash mixture overbread. Sprinkle on half the cheese. Repeat layers.

Slowly pour in 2 cups broth over top, allowing bread to soak up brothand pressing with the back of a spoon. Add remaining broth until itreaches 1 inch below the pans rim.

Reduce oven heat to 375. Cover pan with aluminum foil and place iton a baking sheet to catch drips. Bake, covered, 30 minutes. Removefoil and bake 35-45 minutes, until bubbling, puffed and golden brown.Let stand 5 minutes before serving. 12 servings.
