Coping with Christmas - Food Ideas - 12/14/06 04:25 PM
Are you managing ok with keeping up with the Christmas Chaos? If you still need a little help, here�s an idea:
As you're cooking over the next two weeks double up on your recipes and freeze half. Then after Christmas - and on those days when life is really stressful, you wil have quick meals you can prepare without fuss by simply adding a salad and/or some vegetables. In fact if you make a habit of this you will always have something in your freezer for those "Oh my goodness it's almost dinner time and I have NO idea what to make" days.
Do you need help with meal-planning and great cooking ideas?
As someone who's severely "cooking challenged" I have had a lot of help and great ideas from other moms. Here are some VERY helpful sites:
Just Tell Me What To Cook
Dine Without Whine
Kid Approved Meals
and finally
Healthy Menu Mailer
And that's all for today, folks!
