No stress holiday entertaining

Planning, by admin.

How can you plan a holiday dinner for 12 after work without getting stressed out?

The night before:

  • Set the table.
  • Pick out the Christmas music.
  • Restock all the tea lights and candles.
  • Grocery shop and make a cooking timeline
  • Run the dishwasher

Before work the morningĀ of the dinner:

  • Unload the dishwasher
  • Wipe down the kitchen
  • Make your bed
  • Wear something to work that transitions easily into dinner

When you come home, pour a nice glass of wine, start the music and enjoy preparing dinner.

Check back tomorrow for simple, yet elegant appetizer and meal ideas.
