Game night in Lake Oswego, OR is a great time to try out a few new culinary treats to share with your friends or loved ones. The last thing you want is for your gaming events to become stale and boring. These ideas will help you spice up the night and give your roommates or guests something to talk about long after the last roll of the dice or the last card is played.
Add a Touch of Thai
Spring rolls are a lot of fun for everyone and can add a hint of heat that will keep your friends or family reaching for more. They are fun additions to your game night festivities but not too exotic for the average palate.
Make a Spicy Dip
Chips and dip are game night standards. No one says you have to use the same old dips each and every time. Try a spicy Rotel or queso dip, a hot crab dip, or even add a spicy new layer to your famous seven-layer dip. Try new things that bring the heat in a good way to extend the conversation well past the end of the game.
Try a Cajun Treat
There are many great options to consider if you wish to add a little Cajun heat to your game night meal. Great dishes that feed groups wonderfully include the following:
- Red beans and rice
- Jambalaya
- Shrimp gumbo
The added benefit is that these dishes do not require constant monitoring and are quite easy to make once you get the hang of them. This allows you to spend time enjoying your guests and participating in the game rather than working hard in the kitchen.
Switch Up Your Pizza Plans
While pizza is another tried and true game night ritual, consider trying something a little different the next time you order or make pizzas. Go for new flavors, like a buffalo wing pizza or a spicy taco pizza. The new flavors can transform your traditional fare and might be a lot of fun for all.
Put a little sizzle in your game night recipes with these ideas. If you’re searching for an apartment in Lake Oswego, OR, call us today to learn which floor plans are still available and schedule your tour.

Many residents of Lake Oswego apartments enjoy gatherings with their loved ones at their spacious and well-appointed apartments. Are you looking to take the stress out of hosting your next dinner party in Lake Oswego? Consider these 3 dinner hosting tips to ensure that both you and your guests enjoy your time together:
- Set the right mood. The host helps create an inviting atmosphere with his or her attitude. Do most of the meal prep and cooking beforehand so that you can sit back and relax with your guests. Have a drink before the party to loosen up. A good time is contagious and it starts with the host. Casual and more formal gatherings also benefit from a set playlist to create the ambiance that you desire. Engage your guests but don’t monopolize the conversation. Help guests find shared interests and feel at ease at the party.
- Prepare meals you know. The day of the dinner party is not the day to attempt a new recipe. Have a few recipes that are proven no-brainers to reduce the probability of a last-minute issue. Test-drive any new recipes prior to the gathering to ensure that they come out as expected and are worth the effort.
- Set an inviting table. Bring out the china and silverware for your adult guests. Unless the dinner party is an outdoor event or barbecue, guests will enjoy a nicely laid out table with crystal, china, crisp linens and a few tasteful candles. Guests experience pleasure with their eyes as well as with the taste of the meal and conversation.
