Get ahead for Christmas
Festive freeze ahead tips. Let your freezer help you get Christmas ready.
Hello Friends, I just noticed that it’s 12 days until the winter solstice, the 21st December, so for many of us reading this, the longest night of the year is almost here and then the nights start to get shorter again and the days longer. Hang in there!
Now onto the festive season, I’m on a mission to keep things more relaxed than ever this year. Slower paced and most of all simple. Which reminds me, my first boss used to remind us of the acronym KISS meaning Keep it Simple, Stupid but I much prefer Keep it Simple, Sexy! This is how we are going to KISS this year….
Are you in charge of the Christmas to New Year menu? Is anyone helping you?
I will! And your freezer will too.
I know I talk about my freezer being my best friend a lot, but today, I’ve got EVEN MORE tips for you & in particular some helpful festive freeze ahead tips from the UK’s freezing expert & self confessed freezer geek, Kate Hall. Plus Kate has shared her No Stir Squash Risotto Recipe (made with ingredients from the freezer) & Kate’s Make Ahead & Freeze White Sauce Recipe (for fast fish pie’s, lasagnes, mac n cheese etc) plus Kate’s top 3 methods 1) open freeze 2) flat freeze & 3) cube freeze.
