Help me plan some easy entertaining!

I’ve seriously overdone the entertaining this holiday, and have committed to several more things. We have some lovely long-standing friends coming for a sleepover with their kids tomorrow and I have cooked all my entertaining staples for them before and am just feeling uninspired. Ideally I want something I can make in the morning and just put in an oven on timer when they arrive. They are adventurous and usually make a big effort when we go to theirs. Or should I just order a takeaway? Just seems very lazy!!

Yes to ordering a takeaway! Or maybe make an easy chilli or a curry, or a big pan of pasta. Something with a bit of 'kick' served in generous portions with not too much fuss.

Nigella's Spanish chicken and chorizo bake is a crowd pleaser, if they're meat eaters. Just bung it in the oven and make a salad. Or her chicken with 40 cloves of garlic.

Ha! I was just looking at that thinking it looked easy, and I could do a halloumi version for the veggies!
