Is This the Year to Simplify Christmas Dinner?
Summary
Hosting Christmas dinner this year? Consider making it the year you simplify.Every Christmas, we tend to overload the table with food, work too hard, and end up too exhausted to genuinely enjoy the festivities. Why not try a different approach and simplify?
Make-Ahead Meals
Consider preparing as much as possible in advance. You could even (gasp!) cook the turkey and make the gravy the day before. The internet is brimming with "make-ahead turkey" recipes to suit your taste.A few years back, my sister and I cooked our turkey a day early, and it was a success. Although we cooked another on Christmas Day for aroma’s sake, I plan to skip that extra step this year.
I’m also making mashed potatoes and gravy ahead. Just imagine: sparkling clean roasting pans and no mashed potato pots cluttering the kitchen on Christmas morning.
Limit Your Dishes
Why have a multitude of side dishes when turkey, gravy, and stuffing are the main attractions? Isn’t one or two vegetables enough? Perhaps try serving frozen mixed vegetables for a two-in-one solution, cutting down on dishes.Does that salad really get eaten? Be honest. If it often goes untouched, skip it. If it’s a favorite, prepare it the day before and just add dressing at the last minute.
Keep It Heartfelt
If simplifying feels a bit harsh, visualize Christmas Day. Are there nuts, tangerines, and chocolates available? Are guests already full from hearty breakfasts, eggnog, and treats? Have they just come from a big Christmas Eve meal or are heading to another feast the next day?Ask yourself: will people miss the extravagance, or will they appreciate a simpler meal without feeling like they have to overindulge?
Make It Your Year
If a simplified Christmas dinner sounds appealing, start planning now. Prepare as much as you can in advance, reduce side dishes, and skip rich appetizers.Enjoy a stress-free, simplified Christmas dinner!
