Holiday Season is HERE! Time for shopping, cooking, baking, and family time. I love cooking big family dinners, but it is a lot of work. Over the years, I’ve learned the dinner doesn’t have to be perfect to be amazing. It is all about planning and sticking to a schedule. I will share some tips a little later on How To Have a Stress-Free Holiday! I do want to share an amazing dessert recipe that is a bit different than the traditional Thanksgiving dessert options at my house. However, using products we buy all the time-NABISCO Cookies and Crackers! Check out- Bring Home The Holidays With The Ultimate Party NABISCO Party Planner

- Guest List- it’s all about who you invite. Make sure everyone gets along.
- Make sure you ask about allergies or restrictions- you want your guests to enjoy their meal, not get sick or can’t eat anything.
- Why not have a Potluck? That would ease some stress and time.
- Get your family involved- give each member a job or two. That way you are not doing everything and can enjoy some family time too, not stuck in the kitchen the whole day.
- Make a schedule and stick to it!
- Make foods the day before- like all the side dishes.
- Have kid-friendly activities on hand like~ arts/crafts, video games, board games, and movies.
- Get storage containers from the dollar store so you can give out leftovers to your guests.
- Accept help! Don’t say no, it’s okay- take it!
- Make sure to relax and enjoy your family and friends.
