Tips For a Stress-Free Christmas Dinner
- Start Your Shopping Early: Do your grocery shopping early and in small batches. You can purchase pantry items ahead of time and stock up. You’re more likely to snag better deals as well.
- Pick Dishes That You Can Make Ahead of Time: I like to start my cooking early. This Christmas Snowman Bacon Cheeseball is an appetizer that you can easily make ahead of time and keep in the fridge.
- Don’t Make Individual Portions: Plan your meal to be family-style. Casseroles are easier to make than individual servings.
- Delegate Kitchen Tasks: Be your kitchen’s executive chef and let others help you. Easy tasks like chopping and peeling can be delighted to someone else.
- Prepare Your Table Ahead of Time: Set your table early. It’ll be less stress when your guests arrive and it’s a focal point.
