Snacks & Drinks for Holiday Hosting

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

I keep thinking I'm going to host NYE but at the same time, I'm still waiting for someone else to jump in. Should I do it? Will you do it???

[@jayg6138]

Shout out to Molly Baz

[@paulorr4896]

I am positive that YOU should, in fact, do it. What should I bring? I can do ice or a six pack of Coke. Just lemme know.

[@swansony]

We're going to do it! Thinking about doing Porchetta as a centerpiece, then we'll have some fun appetizers and sides (bacon-wrapped something, some sort of bread and cheese number, and a token vegetable, at least), and my partner will come up with a fun cocktail! Plus whatever random stuff our friends decide to bring, of course.

[@bradyvickers00]

I say go for it. Last year I sabered a bottle of champagne just for the hell of it. Didn't find the top until spring! It was a blast.

[@NickBrunet]

Girl I’m already hosting 20 people in 2 days from now. Thats on top of my private chef business and being a server at a restaurant. Ain’t nobody got time for that! 😂

[@lukejf01]

I can exactly tell Carla’s management/parenting style from when she asked Kelsey if she knew how to use the juicer and she said yes, she gently demonstrated it anyway lol. A delegation pro-move

[@scarlettcisneros3032]

"I want to provide for you but not interact with you " is exactly how I feel hosting during the holidays. I feel very seen ❤

[@alvinnguyen3163]

Carla is the “Trixie” of the chef world and no one can convince me otherwise 😂

[@mariahsalazar8533]

Its true!! a collab would be EVERYTHING!

[@mrdompaul]

Ok, can I just say… I fkn LUV Eliza. I love her style, her hair, her vibe~ lovelovelove 💕

[@NickBrunet]

Am I the only one that teared up during Carla’s cheers?

[@viniciocorral]

Requesting the playlist of alphabetically-listed bangers! Thanks for the recipe, Carla, and happy holidays to you & your family!!

[@paulorr4896]

Favorite party - "...not interacting with anyone..." I am so there. 😀

[@salsinatorsalsa]

ive been sick with a bad cold for a few days and have been watching so many of your videos. today i had the energy to go to the store and im currently sat here eating your pan roast chicken with tomato chickpea situation and enjoying watching this one hahaha. much love from Sweden!

[@Liz-og9gc]

I literally Lol'd at this. Same. I also feel Eliza is your 'spirit' daughter. Sooo much like you. This video was so relatable 😂

[@jkniederberger5390]

Made these to take to a party tomorrow night, and just baked off a couple to test. Now I'm sorry that I'm taking them to a party instead of eating them all myself. The three people currently in the house give them an enthusiastic thumbs up! They are delicious!

[@DonnaBorooah]

I really appreciate that the ads on your video are by you! This makes it sound and feel cohesive if you're in listening mode. Thoughtful! Thank you

[@collinlafleur5145]

I just hosted a party where I made the hand salads, the biscuit bites, and the mocktail. REVIEW: The hand salads were delicious but too wet (go easy on the dressing), the biscuit bites were DIVINE, and the mocktail was heaven sent because I didn't know a couple of my guests were going sober right now. (Instead of Eventides I had a handle of Tito's and some mixers/fixings.) This was such an easy way to prep for a party.

[@dirtygreasetrap3714]

I think we all need Carla’s list of bangers!

[@lesiamahlay]

16:09 the little side note about the queen being dead lol 💀

[@danacutler4989]

The biscuit bites are amazing! Will definitely be trying the hand salad next. Thank you Carla and friends… fun video and excellent recipes.

[@likeanangeldoes]

nice macklemore shoutout 🍉🇵🇸💕

[@sgalinson]

100% subbing these biscuits in for the ham and biscuit dinner. Perhaps the whole spread. Nicely done.

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

will go SO well with ham!!

[@cenaidalargo1359]

Love this. Need more of this.

[@carolweil2700]

Brilliant idea to shred the butter!! And I love the hand salad concept! Thank you as always for creative recipes that inspire me to cook more!

[@homecookingcollective]

The original fig/manchego app is SO good, can't wait to try this salad version.

[@lavendertwilight08]

It's so funny talking to friends of all ages. Some show up early and believe that is respectful and expect the same. Others are punctual, again that is respectful and others (milinneals) expect guests to come 15-30 minutes later and do the same out of respect 😅 I myself grew up seeing how frazzled my parents were so I always show up late to give the host time to get ready and take care of last minute fires lol

[@colecase11]

Happy Holidays, Carla!!! It’s been a wonderful year with you, and I can’t wait for next year with you!!

[@laravazquez7917]

I love the party psychology 😂😂

Carla! Trixie Mattel mentioned you and your book in her latest Easy Bake Oven video! you two should TOTALLY do a video together!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@XusernamegoeshereX]

Happy holidays Carla & fam!

[@spitre5456]

Oh my. I’m a horrible biscuit maker. But, I feel confident to try again with this video. Been binging your videos and recipes. Feeling I need to get your book!! Happy holidays!

[@KelseyWilsonZeiter]

Jesus take the wheEeEel, take the juicer from my hands, cause I can't do this on my own 🎶

[@buriedfacedown]

Did anyone catch what temp to bake the biscuits at? I have rewatched this like 400x and somehow keep missing it! Thank you 😊

[@nicks.6524]

That’s the same martini I make at home all the time!! I had no idea it had a name. Haha

[@paulzoo1016]

Did somebody get oven temp or how long for the biscuits?

[@geralteena]

Can't wait to dig into this video. I will be hosting myself and my sweet cat, do you have any treat ideas for pets?

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

Peggy's favorite special treat are the freeze-dried minnows we get at the pet store! And doggy loves them too, it's great for bonding.

[@eileenmarter6993]

Here’s a tip chop the butter into small pieces first just w a knife cut it then freaked it

[@aphrodisiakon]

Wow, definietly wanna try those buiscuits for the New Years Eve party I am throwing at home for myself. LOL, btw where do you buy Gojuchang? Never heard of it, is it like a Korean thing or can I get it in supermarkets?

[@callmemolls3646]

Gochujang is korean and has become pretty wide spread, at least in my part of the states. You may have luck finding it at your regular grocery store. If not, you should be able to find it at your nearest Asian grocery store and probably online, tbh. It’s a great thing to have on hand! The consistency is thick and it’s strong enough that I don’t really treat it like a sauce on its own, but rather a component that goes into other things. When you buy some, do try a little bit plain on a spoon though so you have a good idea of what it tastes like on its own. For other uses, check out the infamous Eric Kim gochujang caramel cookies and Carla’s broiled salmon bowl. I also like mixing a small dollop in with boxed mac and cheese and topping with toasted panko, a little drizzle of sesame oil, and some scallion greens.

[@aphrodisiakon]

@@callmemolls3646 Thank you so much, definietly gonna try and look for it in my area, I live in a big city so if I won't have any luck, I might visit a local Korean store. I can imagine it being a great addition to some other meals as well.

[@virginiaf.5764]

It's also available on Amazon (what isn't?).

[@roachbeth510]

If you have a Trader Joe’s near you they sell it

I call my mom bangers my “minivan jams.” Even though I don’t have a minivan. But I’m a mom who rocks out to bangers in her car by herself.

[@mikejsheppard]

Oven temp?

[@haughtymiddlebrow]

Did I miss time and temperature for baking the biscuits? I’ve watched the video a few times and don’t see or hear anything about that.

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

400F, 25 to 28 mins. Full recipes are linked in description!

[@haughtymiddlebrow]

@@CarlaLalliMusic123 Perfect. I guessed at 425 for 20 minutes and it worked out okay with maybe a little too dark bottoms so this will work for my second batch. Thank you.

[@payneeavis7366]

What could you replace the nuts with?

[@kas5370]

I’m actually banned from peeling potatoes at my moms house because my hands are so warm that they make the potatoes sweaty and weird and it grosses my mom out 😂 so I’ll have to have someone else make these biscuits for me 😂😂

[@Bonks27]

I loved the biscuits and for me 25 minutes was too long! I should have checked them sooner. They were burned on the top and a little dry. I should have checked them at 20 and they would have probably been fine. Second tray got less time and was much happier

[@carrieberger5335]

How much does a paid subscription cost?

[@Sean2884]

Need that wooden bowl Karla, where’s it from?!

[@abash1007]

[@SamiKelsh]

Ok so first of all, those biscuits sound fit as heck and I will not be hosting a party because I do not want to have to share them with anyone. But seriously, what is up with these unspoken "please show up late" rules for parties? Maybe it's the rejection sensitivity talking, but back when I used to try to host nice little parties with wine and nibbles and what have you, and people would all show up a solid hour late, I'd sit there assuming people just didn't care enough about me to show up on time or let me know they expect to be late, like my event's an afterthought and they don't actually want to be there. Conversely, if you ACTUALLY want guests to show up at 9, why would you put 8 on the invite? Make it make sense 🙃 Anyway my lactose intolerance would hate me for it but MANCHEGO NUGGIES I'm super into it x

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

so, key is having a small group of your nearest and dearest be on time or close to it so when the doorbell rings and you're (I'm) still in the shower, someone is there to let them in. this is also why i had children.
