What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄).

It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

I’m moving from implementation consulting - where details are super important - to a strategy role, working with C suite executives.

All suggestions welcome.
