If you aren’t like me & don’t particularly enjoy spending hours in your kitchen, find as many dinner shortcuts as possible.
I like preparing my mashed potatoes ahead of time & keep them warm in my crockpot on low heat. Just coat the pot with non-stick cooking spray & 1/2 stick of butter. Cover the potatoes & serve when ready. Add warm cream or stock, if needed, just before serving.
Bake sweet potatoes for 1 hr / 350F & top with brown sugar, butter & stewed cranberry. (Stew 6 cups of fresh cranberries with 1 cup OJ, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 pear halved).
There are plenty more hacks out there....
Keep it simple. Enjoy your cup of coffee & breakfast. Savor the gift giving. Be grateful for the love in your heart.
From my kitchen to yours.
Merry Christmas🥰
