Guthrie County Extension says the Holidays are generally more enjoyable if you have your kitchen organized ahead of time. They recommend throwing out old or bad items in your freezer to make room for holiday goodies, and to make a meal plan before the big days of cooking so you know what recipes you want to use, and which ingredients you need for them. Extension says that for those of us conscious about our weight, it’s a good idea to eat lots of fruits and veggies leading up to the big party days, to counteract all of the extra calories.
