In this candid discussion, Marci reveals her tried-and-true strategies for hosting stress-free gatherings:

🍽️ Take control by planning your own party, ensuring you can influence the food choices.
🥗 Prioritize plated meals over buffets to manage portions effectively.
🍓 Opt for dessert choices that align with your comfort level, like dark chocolate-covered strawberries or paleo treats.
🥦 Incorporate non-starchy vegetable side dishes to balance the meal.
⏰ Keep the gathering short and sweet, putting away food once everyone is done eating.
🚪 If your child is struggling, consider making it a shorter party or avoiding bringing problematic foods into the house.

Marci emphasizes the importance of communication with guests, suggesting alternatives like bringing a bottle of wine instead of dessert.
