I’m trying to make movie night a little more fun without turning it into a full dinner or spending the whole evening in the kitchen.

I was thinking of keeping a few simple snacks warm, maybe something cheesy, something savory, and one sweeter option, while leaving popcorn, chips, and other dry snacks in regular bowls.

I came across a sunvivi three-section warmer while looking at ways to keep everything separate, but I’m not sure which foods actually hold up well for the length of a movie.

What would you put in the three sections? I’m looking for options that both kids and adults would eat and that don’t need constant stirring or reheating.

My sister 30 F is wonderful but has had some long relationships that didn't go well.. and got out of the dating scene. Now she's back in with this nice guy. He's very respectful, and they have so much fun together.

Introducing him to our Mom is easy (they're separated). She is sunshine itself. To our Dad... not so easy lol. Her idea is to cook dinner for the family (I'll help) and we can all have a meal together.

It doesn't help she's also a little type B, and hasn't even come up with a menu. The guy is coming to the house tomorrow! I still live at home, so I offered to do the shopping for her but she has no idea what to make.

My idea was salmon, Dad loves fish. But WHAT about the sides?? Thanks in advance. And a healthy desert because he's trying to loose weight. Maybe something with peaches

Thought this sub might enjoy my dad's goofy attempt at ravioli.
