Tips for a Stress-Free Holiday:

List out the recipe steps you can do earlier in the week. Toasting nuts? Monday! Grating cheese? Tuesday! Chopping veggies? Wednesday!
 
When deciding on your meal plan, make sure not all of your recipes need to go in the oven at the same time. We’ve made this mistake more than once...
 
 
Get your knives professionally sharpened before the holidays. It makes all the chopping and dicing way easier.
 
Make your mashed potatoes in advance, then use a slow cooker to warm them up. Just add a little cream and butter to keep them moist.
 
 
 

 

 

4. Keto Baked Feta and Olives

 
 
Appetizers rarely get any easier than this — especially when they taste and look so good. Our Naturals Green and Black Ripe Olives create a savory combination with the feta cheese, and a quick drizzle of olive oil adds a buttery smoothness that brings it all together. Thyme sprigs give the dish a subtle holiday aroma and an elegant look.
