Dishes With DEMDACO: Girls’ Night In
Girls really aren’t so hard to understand. We love to be surrounded by comfiness: comfort food, comfort drinks, comfort movies or TV shows, blankets … and comfortable people. It’s safe to say, a girls’ night in just feels so cozy and nice!
Some girls’ nights it might be all about the besties: you know each other inside and out and just long to spend quality time together laughing, talking, maybe crying and making even more memories. Others might be more like a Galentine’s Day party where ‘this one’s for the girls’ and you just have a handful of gals over to foster sisterhood.
Now if you know everyone in the group really well, you’ll know exactly what movies to have on hand and exactly what drinks and food to prep, but you could be wanting to add in some new things. On the other hand, you may only casually know the ladies, so you’re looking for classic staples. Well either way, here you go!

It’s always fun to have self-care items on hand too, such as face masks, eye patches, maybe hair masks and some nail polish; anything to help your girls pamper themselves a bit and leave feeling refreshed and comforted.
Don’t forget to queue up the beloved songs us girls love: both moody and slow and upbeat and danceable.
Now just enjoy!
Oh, if you need some handy dandy serveware, here you go!
