Simply Delicious Personal Chef Service

How do you make Holiday Dinners less stressful? I would love to hear about them! Here are a few of my tips...

- Start cooking early. Most side dishes like mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, vegetables, stuffing or desserts can be prepared several weeks in advance and stored in the freezer. Just remember to label them clearly and thaw the dishes in the refrigerator two nights before your dinner party. Plan to use your crock pot, slow cooker and roaster. They are great tools that will help you cook multiple dishes at once without having to constantly watch over them.

- Clean out your refrigerator to make sure you will have room for all the dishes you are preparing.

- Empty the dishwasher the night before the party. It will make clean up easier and give you more time with family and friends.
