With spring comes sunshine, flowers, and of course, gatherings. One of my favorite things about this season is the return of spontaneous hosting. As people come out of winter hibernation, they’re more likely to go for a stroll, wander outdoors a little longer, or text, “Want to come over?” before sunset. Trader Joe’s has long been one of my favorite places to stock up for moments like these, and one of my go-tos for easy, affordable hosting. There’s a certain springtime magic in turning a few frozen appetizers, good cheese, crackers, and something bubbly into a simple spread that still feels a little special. Over the years, these are the Trader Joe’s staples I’ve found myself reaching for again and again in times of last-minute spring hosting. Trader Joe's has long been my not-so-secret weapon for last-minute hosting. With a few freezer staples and some snacks, spontaneous spring gatherings somehow feel a lot less stressful and a lot more fun. What are your favorite Trader Joe's spring hosting staples?…
