’Twas the Night Before Christmas Dinner

Written by MemphisCash-Editor on . Posted in Cash Saver Blog, Recipe Blog, Uncategorized, Wellness.

’Twas the night before Christmas dinner, the house all a-flutter,
With pots stacked by stoves and counters wiped of their clutter.
The ovens stood ready, the pans tucked away,
For a feast in the making come Christmas Day.

No need for perfection, no stress in the air,
Just the comfort of knowing soul food would be there.
Recipes remembered, not written or read,
Passed down in stories instead of in thread.

The greens would be simmered, cooked low and just right,
Casseroles queued for their moment to shine bright.
Gravy would thicken by feel, not by rule,
Rolls would disappear off the rack, warm and foolproof.

In the living room, laughter drifted with cheer,
Kids counting the hours til morning was here.
Mugs waited patiently, cocoa in mind,
And sweet little treats were already being eyed.

The fridge held its secrets of pie yet to come,
Of something poured creamy and desserts made for some.
The table stood waiting for plates piled high,
For seconds and thirds and the long goodbye.

This is Christmas in Memphis, familiar and true,
Where the food fills the house and the heart does too.
It lingers, it stretches, it lasts all day long,
With leftovers wrapped up before dessert comes along.

And when lights dimmed low and the kitchen went still,
Every pan sat ready, each space set to fill.
The feast was prepared, the people were near,
And Christmas dinner would soon be here.

Tips For Healthy Meal Planning

5 Tips For Healthy Meal Planning During The Holidays

  1. Stock your pantry. Having your go-to items already at home makes meal planning one step easier. Beans for chili, noodles for chicken noodle soup, rice for casseroles and whole grain crackers for dips are great stock up items for the busy holiday season.
  2. Prep challenging recipes in advance. If a meal calls for lots of chopped ingredients, consider cleaning and chopping ingredients the night before. Vegetables in particular can take a lot of time to skin and chop, so it’s great if you can tackle time consuming steps a day early.
  3. Have healthy snacks ready to go. You’re much more likely to eat veggies and fruit as a snack if it’s prepped and ready to eat. We often grab high carbohydrate (and high calorie) snacks because they are convenient when we’re starving. If fresh vegetables and fruit are made just as easy to consume then chances are we’ll make the right choice.
  4. Dust off your slow cooker. One dish hearty meals that can fed multiple people are easily made in your slow cooker.
  5. Make breakfast the night before. If you despise mornings then make them easier by prepping breakfast the night before. Overnight oats with chia seeds, an egg bake and muffins can all be made the night before so you can sleep a bit longer.
