It is officially November! Halloween is over. Winter weather is going to be here any day now. Santa has made his mall debut. Thanksgiving is just about 2 weeks away. What does all of this mean? It’s time to prepare before the holidays sneak up on us. It is time, my friends to – Simplify the Season 2013!
If you haven’t already, let's take care of Thanksgiving Meal Planning. Which family member is hosting this year? Are you having Lunch or Dinner? If you're the hostess, make a list of dishes to be prepared. Whether you decide on turkey or ham, pumpkin pie or pecan pie, mashed potatoes or rice, salads and veggies – Make sure to decide! Make a plan and keep it Simple this Thanksgiving! Have fun and dole out the responsibility! That's right. Let Aunt Emma make the sweet potatoes. That not only frees you up from cooking an extra dish here and there -- let’s face it you can still cook your favorites -- it allows everyone to be a part of the celebration. You may want to let the bachelor uncle stick with being the ICE BRINGER. It is an important role.
To keep track of all the planning make sure you have everything written down, budgeted, and everyone accounted for.
If you have family coming in for the holiday the night before, would you like a great idea for what to feed these weary travelers? Wouldn’t you like it to be simple? How about an easy crock-pot stew, chili, or spaghetti? It will stay warm if traffic or a flight causes a delay and won’t get soggy like a casserole may.
Keep these same things in mind when planning your Christmas dinner! Look at that! You just moved a month ahead of the game! Woo hoo!
