No Fuss, No Frills Low-stress Girls’ Night

How to Host a Low-Stress Girls’ Night After the Holidays

After weeks of holiday chaos, it’s time to unwind and recharge. What better way to do that than with a no-fuss, no-frills Girls’ Night? Keep it simple, cozy, and fun—think jeans, jammies, and lots of laughter.

Here’s our perfect formula for a Girls’ Night In:

  • No Dress Code: Invite your friends to come as they are—comfy jeans or cozy pajamas. No glitz, just fun!
  • Simple Eats: I love making our Shookhill Spanakopita.  We have provided this simple to make recipe below. It’s easy, delicious, and pairs beautifully with a good bottle (or two) of wine. Don’t stress about the rest—order takeout and let someone else handle the cooking.
  • A Little Self-Care: Set out Grace & Stella eye patches for everyone to relax while swapping holiday stories and catching up. It’s the perfect mix of fun and self-care.
  • Favorite Things Gift Exchange: Add a little extra joy with a “favorite things” swap. Each person brings a simple, inexpensive favorite gift to share. Only do this if it doesn’t add any stress for you and your group.  This is not meant to add post-holiday stress.  If you have a group of friends that don’t exchange holiday gifts, this is a great option.  We have a small group that started this tradition years ago.  We look forward to our Favorite Things exchange every year.  Some of our favorite gifts have been – Diva Wash, Maldon Salt, a portable charger with built-in cables, and an immersion blender. This year the gift is a wrapped Amaryllis bulb and attaching a little surprise treat (shhhhh….).

A no-fuss, no-frills, low-stress girls’ night is the ideal way to decompress after the holidays.  It’s easy, thoughtful, and a great way to catch up with your friends.  So, pour the wine, enjoy a piece of spanakopita, and make this week about relaxing, recharging, and sharing laughs with your friends.

Shookhill Spanakopita

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces frozen chopped spinach drained, and liquid removed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon herbs d Provence
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Feta Cheese
  • 6 cloves roasted garlic
  • 1 roll phyllo dough
  • 5 tablespoons salted butter melted

Instructions

  • preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Mix the first 6 ingredients together in a medium bowl.
  • Line a baking sheet with a silicon liner or parchment paper.
  • Lay a sheet of phyllo dough onto the lined baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush the phyllo dough with butter. Add a few more sheets to the stack and brush with butter. Repeat this process until all of the dough is stacked and buttered. Spoon the spinach mixture down the center of the phyllo stack along the longest length of the dough. Gently roll the short sides of the dough so the edges are tucked under the bottom of the roll. Cut 6-8 diagonal slits In the same direction along the top of the roll. Then 6-8 slits in the opposite direction. This will result in a zig-zag pattern across the top of the roll. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown about 15-20 minutes
