Plan Your Menus
A little preparation goes a long way during the holiday season. Whether you’re hosting a big party, or if you just have a few guests staying at your place for a few days, you’re on the hook to provide tasty meals day after day.
Take some of the pressure off of yourself and create a meal plan for your parties or gatherings. If you plan ahead of time, you can make one trip to the store without the risk of forgetting half of your ingredients. You can also do start some of your recipes ahead of time to streamline the cooking process. Chop veggies or make your bread dough ahead of time and freeze it for thaw-and-go simplicity.
