I love bringing people together & entertainment at my home, but it’s nice to also do entertaining at other places too!! So Here’s s fun idea for you!!
Are you Looking for a fun & easy meal idea with friends? How about planning an activity after dinner?? How about trying a pasta dinner & bowling party! This post will be about how I planned Bowling, which is a super fun activity to do with friends & eating a yummy dinner beforehand!! Putting the two fun things together was perfect!!

So for this party with friends I kept things really simple! With a few simple ingredients like spaghetti, Rotini, Pasta sauce & meatballs, chicken & Plant based meatless balls 🙂 salad & garlic bread 🙂 it was a win win, a simple meal & fun afterward!! We made a reservation to go bowling after dinner all 20 of us!!
I recommend bowling in the evening because most leagues play in the morning, so the evening is a great time! We chose to bowl from 6pm to 8pm 🙂 at Just-in-time, before the remodel & re opening!! It was so much fun!!
