I<\/span>f I want to have a killer book club meeting, it only makes sense that since the main event is the book, picking something good is kind of a big deal. It seems easy enough, at least at first.<\/p>\n

Google, one of the best and most versatile search engines, is open 24\/7 and, according to most, has everything. \u00a0But despite its cult-like popularity, I probably don\u2019t have to tell you that at the end of the day, Google can be overwhelming and not so helpful.<\/p>\n

So, before you start the hunt, you may want to read How to Find Amazing Books That Will Energize Your Book Club<\/a><\/span><\/em>, my earlier post on what makes a good book club book (with book suggestions of course).<\/p>\n

If I\u2019ve learned anything about people getting together, it\u2019s that food always<\/em><\/span> plays a staring role. I’m a self-proclaimed health nut, and at my best, I can resist a lot. That said, I have a soft spot for comfort foods – I’m pretty sure we all do.<\/p>\n

Pizza Lollys – Image credit – Max Pixel goo.gl\/usGLUL | Pizza Lolly recipe -Weelicious goo.gl\/hrAfAO | Sliders | Cheese & Sausage Wontons – Sargento – goo.gl\/WZiuAt | Lasagne Cupcakes – Tablespoons – goo.gl\/sD2OeL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And, when my favorite foods are bite-sized, I usually give in- I love that they are small, easy and sort of<\/em><\/span>\u00a0guilt-free<\/span><\/em>. For this reason, I\u2019m always on the lookout for delicious little bites of food to put in my recipe folder. Although it\u2019s not written in stone anywhere, everyone needs some eye catching, easy to make party snacks.<\/p>\n

\"Book
Chocolate-covered ice cream cones in mason jar | Mandarin oranges | Ice cream or yogurt with fruit in mason jars | Cupcakes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since I have endless respect for planning ahead \u2013 and believe from deep within that everyone needs inspiration – in this post – I’ve shared a few fabulous snack ideas to inspire you and elevate your next book club or another social gathering.<\/p>\n
