4 tips to be prepared for your Christmas dinner

Are you setting the bar high for Christmas dinner? Do not. Make it easier on yourself with these tips and tricks.

Tip 1:Make a shopping list
It's easy to buy way too much food. How much food do you really need to have enough? After all, Christmas is not much different from 'normal' days. So you really don't have to buy much more than for a dinner that you would organize on another day.

Tip 2:Have leftovers at least one more time
Look at what you have in the freezer. Be sure to eat some leftovers from the freezer before Christmas. You will soon be able to use that space to freeze the leftovers from Christmas.

Tip 3:Prepare what you can
Do a lot of people come to eat with you? Make sure you prepare as much as possible in the days before Christmas. Do the shopping in stages. During this week, for example, you can make the soup, as well as some desserts. You can also cut ingredients in advance.

Tip 4:You don't have to make everything yourself
Focus completely on the main course and buy the starter and dessert ready-made.
