Fact: I actually have a photo album on my cell phone full of pictures of Costco products that would be great for a party. I snap pics so I don’t forget to buy them the next time I’m having people over. I’ve gotten pretty good at spotting fun party finds, but I was curious to get your suggestions. So, we asked readers on Facebook to name their favorite party treats from Costco.

Keep reading to see what people said, and add a few to your own list.

inline chix cobb salad 2.jpgWhy serve bland chicken breast in Cobb salad, when spicy chicken wings taste so much better? This salad is especially great for parties and potlucks. A big, colorful Cobb salad is always a hit. Plus, it’s easy (and affordable) to grill up a bunch of chicken wings for a crowd.

These chicken wings are delicious hot off the grill (or out from under the broiler), but if you want to make this salad ahead of time, go for it. The wings are just as good chilled from the refrigerator.

A Cobb salad is really just another Big-Ass Salad, with all sorts of good things thrown in. Tomato, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, and blue cheese are the classic Cobb combination. There’s no reason to stop there. Go ahead and pile on all your favorite healthy salad fixings (along with your favorite PRIMAL KITCHEN® dressing), for a deluxe Cobb salad that can feed a crowd.

chix wings

Toss the wings with avocado oil. Season with salt and paprika.

Grilling:
Heat grill to medium heat. Grill the wings, with the cover down, until wings are browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Flip wings 2 or 3 times while grilling.

Broiling:
Spread wings out on a rimmed baking sheet. Heat broiler to high, with a rack 6 inches from the flame. Broil 15 to 20 minutes, until wings are browned and crispy. Turn the wings several times as they cook. Expect some smoking from the rendered fat.

While the wings cook, combine butter, hot sauce and vinegar in a large bowl. Toss the cooked wings in the mixture until evenly coasted. Return wings to the grill or broiler for a few minutes more, until sizzling.

Combine all the salad ingredients in a large bowl, toss with kefir salad dressing, and serve spicy chicken wings on top.

Selenium is a trace mineral you’d probably know nothing about until you’re deficient in it. It’s found naturally in the soil, pops up in the occasional food, and is present in low concentrations in water…and it’s critical for your existence. While you may not need selenium in the same mammoth quantities as the likes of […]

What we’ve got here is an updated take on a classic pasta salad that still leaves you eating something that feels familiar. There are no random peas, no cloying mayonnaise dressing. In this take, tuna and macaroni still make up the base but they pal around with celery, peppers, and red onions, and the whole thing gets a tangy, peppery yogurt dressing.

There are a few secrets to making a tuna macaroni salad this good: a trick for flavoring the vegetables, a quick tip for rapidly cooling the pasta, and a perfect ratio for a mayo-yogurt dressing that is anything but gloppy.

We’re updating things a bit, but as far were concerned this is still pretty classic — old-fashioned, even! And it’s still a tuna macaroni salad that your grandma would be proud of.

While it may be important to serve plenty of wine or beer at your next party, it’s equally as important to serve a great non-alcoholic drink. That doesn’t just mean serving water, either. For those who might not be imbibing, it’s really nice to have something to sip on that’s just as festive as the spiked selection.

These seven recipes are fruity, fun, and most definitely fit for any kind of celebration.

The other week, we ran a post with instructions detailing how to pack up dishes and glassware for a move. To do it, we teamed up with Lior Rachmany, the CEO and founder of Brooklyn-based Dumbo Moving + Storage. He’s moved more than 6,000 apartments throughout his career, so he had a ton of smart tips and points.

One really stuck with us more than the others, though. Turns out, there’s one thing people reach for again and again when packing up their dishes — but they really shouldn’t.

Any guesses as to what it is?

There seems to be no shortage of sales this Memorial Day weekend. Most are centered around grills and patio furniture, though, so you might not be all that excited by them. But have you heard about Anthropologie’s sale? All current sale items for the home are an additional 40 percent off, meaning you could end up getting as much as 75 percent off the original price.

Here are our favorite eye-catching picks, all under $25 — and some under $5! But hurry: The prices are so good, items aren’t sticking around for long. (We apologize for anything that might have already sold out, but we did warn you!)
