There is so much to do for a Big Event like Thanksgiving or Christmas, so, doing your kitchen prep 3 days before the Big Feast can save you time and lessen the stress, and make things run more smoothly.
I read an article for last years' big Feast that got me thinking;
1) make a list of your Menu for the big Feast,
2) make a grocery list for all items you'll need
3) make labels for each dish, using index cards and place each one in the designated
dish that you have chosen for that cake, pie, casserole, pan/pans of rolls, etc.
to keep from having to hunt for a dish or platter that is just the right size for
your special recipe(s) on that hectic day,
4) you could even pre-measure the non refrigerated items that each dish calls for
and store them in containers or bags in the dish that they will be baked in.
Save your sanity and your nerves and enjoy the prep leading up to the Big Feast.
This applies to any gatherings that you have at your house,be it Thanksgiving, Christmas,Easter, New Years' Eve, New Years' Day, birthdays,or vacations inwhich you
cook most of your meals in the condo.
I pray that my Tips and suggestions are helpful and a blessing to you.
love, Tamar
