Hosting a get-together? Food trays are the easiest way to feed a crowd — delicious, hassle-free, and perfect for busy moms!
As moms, we wear so many hats—planner, cook, host, and of course, the one who makes sure everyone is well-fed and happy. Pero aminin natin, kapag may handaan, nakakapagod din if we try to do everything ourselves. That’s why I’ve learned to love food trays—ang tunay na lifesaver ng mga busy moms like us!
Food trays are perfect for birthdays, reunions, anniversaries, or even those sudden “tara, inuman” nights that turn into full-blown parties. Instead of stressing in the kitchen for hours, you can order trays of your family’s favorites and focus on enjoying the occasion.
Here are some tray ideas that always work for us:
- Pasta Trays – Baked macaroni, carbonara, or spaghetti (the kids’ all-time favorite!)
- Meat & Chicken Trays – Lechon kawali, roasted chicken, barbecue, or Korean-style fried chicken
- Seafood Trays – Buttered shrimp or grilled bangus (for something lighter but flavorful)
- Veggie Trays – Chopsuey, pinakbet, or lumpiang sariwa
- Merienda Trays – Pancit, palabok, lumpiang shanghai, siomai, or even sushi bake
- Dessert Trays – Leche flan, fruit salad, brownies, or refrigerated cakes
💡 Mom Hack: Mix and match trays para hindi nakakasawa. Get 1 pasta, 1 meat, 1 veggie, and 1 dessert tray, you’ll have a well-rounded spread that everyone will enjoy. Add rice (syempre!) and you’re set.
The best part? Moms get to relax and eat, too. Hindi ‘yung tayo lagi ang huli sa mesa dahil abala pa rin sa kusina.
