Holiday Food Tips
The presents are wrapped, the decorations are perfect, the house is ready for guests....now for the food.
Chef Jason Morse of 5280 Culinary says one way to ease the stress of the holidays is to make a family dinner potluck.
He says one of the first things he recommends is to choose local makers and produce and then decide how much food is actually necessary.
"We really try to plan accordingly based on how many people are eating. Whether it's 10 or whether it's 12. We don't want to have 5 different appetizers or 5 different entrees. We try to be good stewards of the food so that we're not wasteful.
Morse also suggests spending a good bit of time on the food prep so you can enjoy the meal with your guests.
"What can I do today that will help me tomorrow. If I'm serving a holiday dinner on a Friday or a Saturday or a Sunday, what can I do the day before that will help make my day a little bit easier?
Chef Morse says he's already planning how he'll prepare his holiday ham.
