dear all
this may or may not work for everybody but it really
freed me to enjoy the holidays with my family---- guilt free!!!
37 years ago i decided that i wasn't having much fun on Christmas
with needing to jump up and do things in the kitchen every few minutes
and then when all was ready for holiday meal what i heard was complaining
from kids who didn't want to stop their play to eat.
i decided i won't miss any more fun again!!! the day or two before
celebration i would cook turkey and\or ham plus roast beef also made
macaroni salad .the meats were sliced and arranged nicely on ovenproof
pans ready to pop in oven to heat at proper time.placed salad in attractive
bowl and took time to decorate top with christmas tree cut from red and
green
bell peppers.chilled all food in serving containers and all i had to do on
holiday
was pop hot foods in electric roaster to heat and when ready set out and
people were able to serve themselves buffet-style whenever they chose and
i have had the
best of holidays since with no hassle
hope this helps hosts or hostesses to enjoy their families and guests
bless us all this coming year
