Most of us grew up watching our mothers and grandmothers working feverishly in the kitchen to prepare the “perfect” holiday meal.

But holidays do not have to strike fear in the hearts of those of us caught in the kitchen. Through good planning, you can actually prepare a great meal and get to spend time with those you love – without flour coating your face.
