More tips for making holiday meals less stressful
Hosting can be a bit stressful, so here are a few things I do to keep my calm:
- Prepare ingredients for recipes ahead of time. Instead of measuring things out as I go, I pre-measure ingredients for my meals early in the day so that come cooking time, they are ready to go.
- Have to-go containers handy. You’ll likely have a lot of leftovers, and you’ll want to share with your guests, so rather than handing out your best tupperware, stock up on disposable to-go containers, like these.
- Start the the holiday music early! Cleaning, meal-prepping and guest preparations can be stressful, but putting on your favorite holiday tunes is sure to make you feel more cheery.
