This is the season where I spend more time in my kitchen than the rest of the year combined. I absolutely love the holidays, and food is such an integral part of our celebrations. But as you can imagine, holiday preparation can be time consuming and labor intensive. I can remember too many Thanksgiving dinners or Christmas mornings where I was scrambling to ensure the last dishes were cooked while my family was relaxed, enjoying the season.
Holiday Preparation Tips
Holiday preparation really begins in the kitchen. From the right appliances to ensuring that your dishes are prepped and served to a T, here are my best Holiday Preparation Tips.
Get an early start: If you plan to host Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, be sure to begin thinking about your menu now. Create a list of the dishes you will be serving and the ingredients you will need for each dish. This will give you a visual idea of how much you will spend on the meal, when you will need to shop for ingredients, and how many items will need to be properly stored and refrigerated.
Enlist help: Consider whether or not you might ask guests to bring a simple dish to add to your dinner spread. This can be as easy as an appetizer, dessert, or drinks and will help alleviate the stress of having to prepare every detail of your holiday meal.
Survey your decor inventory: Begin pulling out your holiday tableware and decor items to survey whether or not you will want to add items this year. As you begin your holiday shopping, you can pick up any missing items before the season gets busy.
Consider a deep clean: If you plan to host guests, consider whether hiring a cleaning service might alleviate some of the stress. At minimum, you want to ensure your kitchen essentials including your stove, microwave, and dishwasher are clean and running properly to ensure efficient kitchen prep, cooking, and clean-up.
Holiday Preparation Essentials
Having efficient, innovative appliances will change the way you prepare and cook your meals this holiday season. GE Profile Series appliances feature modern styling and innovative features to help make holiday entertaining a breeze. With clean lines, minimal curves, and an integrated look, you can mix and match appliances to fit your own personal kitchen style.
GE Profile Gas Range: This range features an edge-to-edge cooktop allowing extra room for pots and pans of any size. Easily move cookware from burner to burner given the large cooking surface. Additionally, the extra-large, integrated reversible cast iron grill/griddle allows for cooking multiple dishes. Flip it over to grill your favorite foods.
Keurig K-Cup French Door Refrigerator: Along with keeping all of your produce and groceries fresh, this refrigerator offers the added convenience of brewing coffee from the dispenser using the Keurig K-Cup Brewing System. The advanced water filtration system (which is the water used to brew your tea or coffee) reduces trace contaminants including lead, mercury, asbestos and more.
