Cooking For The Holidays

Now that we have made it through
Thanksgiving, lets think about
Christmas, now none of that oh, do
we have too stuff, of course we
have to, Christmas comes every
year and this year is no exception!

Even if you enjoy spending hours
in the kitchen, there are times
during the holidays when it just
isnt possible.

There are many ways to make it
feasible to still cook for your
family and attend all of the
seasonal functions that are
required of you and your family.

Please dont neglect the basic
every night meal that your family
needs, there has to be time for
this, and it isnt always easy.
There are many options that
require little preparation time:

*Casseroles:Put them together the
night before, or early in the
morning

*Crock-pot stews:Let them cook all
day.

*Soup and sandwiches:Quick and
easy, grilled cheese and soup
Salads, from dinner salads to chef
salads, pre-cut lettuce is a
blessing.

To prepare meals in the shortest
amount of time, remember that you
can cook more than one item at the
same time.

The pudding can be going in the
microwave, while the rice and
steaks cook on the stove top,
followed by sautéed mushroom in
the same pan as the steak.

Planning is an important part of
any holiday meal, whether it is a
special meal or the standard
evening dinner!

Something that I have found handy
is the soups I make using
leftovers; you can create several
from your Thanksgiving leftovers.

Boil down the turkey bones for a
large amount of meat that most
people arent even aware that it is
there.

Add the stuffing that is left
over, this serves a dual purpose,
it adds flavor, but also thickens
the soup. Add a few fresh
vegetables to the leftover
vegetables, and you have a
delicious soup that can be thawed
and re-heated around the holiday
season, saving you lots of time.

Creativity can be a blessing in
the kitchen as well as out of the
kitchen as you make this Christmas
a season for everyone to enjoy,
even yourself.
