4 tips to simplify cooking for a crowd this holiday season

courtesy
Metro Creative Editorials
Families big and small
typically celebrate the holiday
season together. For some,
celebrating the holidays with
family requires traveling, while
others stay put and welcome
family and friends into their
homes.
At some point during the
holiday season, celebrants who
host family and friends will no
doubt prepare a homecooked
meal for their loved ones.
Cooking for a crowd can seem
like a daunting task, especially
for first-time hosts. However,
there are various ways for
hosts to simplify cooking for a
crowd this holiday season.
1. Prepare a familiar dish.
Hosts may agonize over
their holiday menus, and
some may feel compelled to
prepare a family specialty or
the same dishes their parents
or grandparents prepared for
holiday dinners when they
were children. But holiday
hosts can make things easy
on themselves by choosing
dishes they’ve made in the
past, regardless of their place
in family history. Chances are
the ingredients for hosts’ own
specialties are already in the
pantry, saving a potentially
time-consuming trip to the
grocery store. And thanks to
the familiarity factor, hosts’ own
specialties likely won’t require
as much time to prepare.
2. Share some cooking
duties.
Another way to simplify
cooking for a crowd is to
invite guests to bring along a
side dish or dessert. Guests
who live nearby can make
something in advance of the
big meal, while hosts can
hand over their kitchens to
overnight guests who express
a willingness to contribute
their own homecooked dish to
the party. Sharing the cooking
duties gives hosts more time to
connect with friends and family
and serves as a great way to
plan the menu in advance.
3. Only make what guests
are likely to eat.
Hosts also should not feel
pressured to cook more food
than is necessary. Holiday
meals have a tendency to be
lavish, but hosts don’t have
to spend all day in the kitchen
preparing food that will likely
end up as leftovers or trash.
Get a final headcount in the
days before everyone comes
over and adjust your recipes
accordingly.
4. Start early.
If the big is on Christmas Day,
that does not mean hosts have
to start cooking while everyone
unwraps their presents. Hosts
who are uncertain about what
to cook can look for meals that
can be prepared in advance so
come the big day all they need
to do is turn on the oven and
let meals cook while the family
spends time together.
Hosts can employ various
strategies to simplify the
process of cooking for a crowd
this holiday season.

Christmas trees brighten the season

courtesy
Metro Creative Editorials
Decked out in tinsel, lights,
ornaments, and garland,
Christmas trees are enduring
symbols of the holiday season
that boast a rich history.
Evergreen trees have
been used to celebrate winter
festivals for thousands of
years, and eventually became
associated with Christianity.
Plants and trees that remained
green all year held special
meaning to ancient peoples,
and were purported to keep
away illness and evil spirits.
Germans were credited
with tying evergreen trees to
Christmas celebrations. In
the sixteenth century, devout
Christians brought decorated
trees into their homes. Martin
Luther, the Protestant reformer,
is believed to have first added
lighted candles to these trees
Ferryville Cheese
after he was inspired by
twinkling stars in the night sky.
While early Americans found
Christmas trees an oddity,
the tradition, brought over by
German settlers, eventually
caught on. Today, between
25 and 30 million natural
Christmas trees are sold in the
United States each year, states
the National Christmas Tree
Association. Trees are grown in
all 50 states and Canada.
The following is a look at
some popular tree varieties.
Living Christmas trees
Living Christmas tree,
which refers to those with their
roots still intact, are popular
among eco-conscious holiday
enthusiasts. That’s because
living trees can be promptly
planted after they’ve served
their purpose indoors.
Opt for a moderately sized
Brand New Website!
tree, as root balls on larger
trees can be heavy and
difficult to move. Living trees
can typically be kept indoors
for around seven to 10 days
before they will need to be
returned outside. Move such
trees to a sheltered outdoor
area for one to two weeks so
they can reacclimate to the
climate. So long as the ground
is not frozen, trees can then be
planted when the reacclimation
period ends. Better Homes and
Gardens suggests selecting a
mild day to plant the tree.
Fraser fir
Fraser fir trees are typically
uniformly pyramid-shaped
trees that have strong branches
that turn slightly upward.
These trees have good needle
retention and a dark, blue-
green hue. Many people feel
these trees have a pleasant
scent. Because they are such a
quintessential Christmas tree,
Fraser fir, as well as their close
cousin, Balsam fir, tend to be
more expensive than others.
Scotch pine
One of the advantages of
Scotch pine trees is their needle
retention. Experts say Scotch
pine needles will not drop off
J & R Military Surplus
Open 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. Thursday – Sunday • Closed Holidays!
Santa
even if the tree is dry. Scotch
pine is an introduced species
brought to North America by
European settlers, and it’s
known for dark green foliage
and sturdy, stiff branches. The
Scotch pine is one of the most
popular Christmas trees today.
White spruce
As a Christmas tree, the
white spruce is known for
excellent foliage color, short
stiff needles and good needle
retention. The blue-green color
is pleasant, but when needles
are crushed, the tree doesn’t
produce a favorable evergreen
aroma. White spruce trees
keeps their needles longer than
other spruces.
With proper care, any variety
of Christmas tree can look
beautiful throughout the holiday
season.
