Is a Stress-Free Holiday Meal Possible?

If you desire a sense of calm in the kitchen during the holidays -

 AVOID preparing all of the dishes yourself!

It is too time-consuming and too stressful to take on everything for the same event. 

Pick One, the main course, sides, or the dessert.

YOU DESERVE TO HAVE SOME FUN TOO!

For example, if you are preparing the main course, consider purchasing an apple pie crumble like the one in the picture above.

Also note: Placing the pecans in their own dish rather than putting on top of the pie, allows guests with nut allergies to partake in that delicious Apple Crumble.  

To add a delightful twist, why not sprinkle some of THE GREAT TRAIL Gourmet Roasted Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Seeds on top of the Apple Crumble?

This will create extra crunch, extra protein, be nut-free, and provide a flavor explosion that your guests will surely appreciate!

So, take a moment to decide.  Will you be making the main dish? The sides? or the dessert this year? 

I can guarantee that although it may not make your holiday season "stress-free", it will greatly reduce the stress you would have experienced had you not read this blog today.
