Thanksgiving is almost here! Are you hosting the big feast this year??
Do not let this gracious dinner overwhelm you! In the Thanksgiving addition (November 2013) of, Cooking Light magazine, author (a.k.a. kitchen ninja) Jennifer Drawbridge, wrote a cute piece on the importance of actually enjoying the company and the food! Sometime we get so involved with preparing the bird and making sure the guests are happy, that we forget to enjoy what is taking place around us. The following are some tips from Jennifer, on how to actually enjoy the big day. These tips are also great for any big feast you plan to prepare throughout the year.
1) De-stress the Prep
Do as much preparing as possible. Make a complete list of everyone you need, and when you will prepare. Cut the veggies, set the table, do everything you can do the days before the big day!
2) Better Food, Less fuss
Keep the food simple but use quality ingredients.
3) Use Champion Recipes
Do not try a new 3 page recipe on the big day! Do what has been tried and loved! Save the new, complicated recipes, when there is nothing on the ling!
Be sure to check out Cooking Light for more advice and recipes for the holidays!
Until next time.....
Cheers!
