If you host, Costco’s bakery is your fourth burner. The key is buying with a plan—how to slice, how to store, and how to dress things so they feel a step above “platter on the counter.” These are the crowd-pleasers I keep on rotation when one couple turns into three and somehow it’s 9 p.m….
Jennifer Garner’s Los Angeles place gets called a farmhouse, but it’s really a blueprint for building a warm, family-run house that can handle real life.
