Check out six tips straight from our hosts below, and be sure to stream full episodes using the links below.

Instead of making a huge, six-course meal, just whip up some appetizers. Giada De Laurentiis' easy yet impressive dishes like mini Foccacia Lobster Rolls and Avocado and Papaya Salad will wow your crowd.

Watch Kelsey Nixon whip up some old-school desserts on Kelsey's Essentials, from fruit pizza to Chocolate Peanut Butter and Banana Icebox Cake. If those sweet treats don't sound perfect, try something a little more grown-up, like her Watermelon, Ginger and Lime Granita.

Debi Mazar and Gabriele Corcos' dishes on Extra Virgin always have unique Italian twists. Instead of boring pasta salad, try Farfalle with Anchovies and Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and ditch a traditional caprese for Roasted Pepper and Mozzarella Skewers.

Watch Michael Chiarello's glamorous bash on Easy Entertaining to inspire your next shindig. A signature cocktail at the center of the evening makes everyone feel extra special, and a Pimm's Cup Cocktail is refreshing and delicious. Michael served citrus-marinated grilled shrimp with his, but you can try any kind of summer dishes at your party.

Michael Symon's grilling ideas on Symon's Suppers allow you to cook inside using only one pan. Pork Souvlaki with Grilled Citrus is a great main course, while grilled French toast ends the party on a surprisingly sweet note.
If you have friends who are watching their figures, try some healthy recipes like Bobby Deen's dishes on Not My Mama's Meals. Two of our favorites are his sweet and spicy pork sandwich and his lightened-up potato salad.
