Stress Free New Year’s Eve Catering Party Tips

Tuesday, December 27th, 2011

Getting ready to cater your New Year’s Eve Party? If yes, we are here to give you a few tips to make your planning easy and stress free! Read below to get started so you have more time to enjoy yourself than laboring at your own party.

Keep Your Serving Simple

For a New Year’s Eve party, you do not need a full out meal. Most guests are more eager to sing and dance during New Year’s Eve. You want the food you serve during your New Year’s Eve party to be delicious, bite size and non-messy. You should pick six to eight unique finger foods. Make at least 10 to 15 pieces available for each guest of the finger foods. If you prefer a dinner party, you can count down the unique number of finger foods available in half. On average, guests going to a dinner party will consume three to five different appetizers. Be sure each person has at least four to five of these appetizers available for consumption.

Have Pre-Made Items On The Menu

When you have pre-made food available it will save you both time and money. Why cook and bake when you can have a cater do it for you? Some great pre-made food items are deli meat, cheese trays, fruits and vegetables.

Make Sure You Have Plenty Of Party Supplies

You do not want guest looking for napkins, plates, cups and utensils. You are a host. You want everything available for your guests to enjoy the night and bring in the New Year right. Make a list of expected guests and get supplies in order in advance.

How To Teach Your Child To Cook

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

Do you want to get your child involved in the holiday spirit by teaching him or her to cook? If yes, we are here to give you a few tips on how to teach your child to cook. Read below to get started.

It is always a good idea to provide your child with the knowledge and tools to learn how to feed him or her self. Some college students to adults do not know how to feed themselves. They end up spending more money on take-out and living lives of unhealthy food habits. Get your child on the right track now.

Make Learning Fun.

Yes, a kitchen can be a potentially dangerous environment, with hot stoves and sharp knives. But reassure your child and you feel relaxed in the environment. If you feel nervous, your child will feel nervous. Supervise your child at all times. Remain smiling when he or she makes an error. Explain kitchen safety. Make together a dish you both will enjoy.

Do not Neglect Terminology.

Properly defining tools and directions to your child will really save you much confusion later. Tell your child what sear and sauté mean. By teaching your child terminology, you help him or her skill build. A child is like a sponge when it comes to learning languages, use this to your advantage.

Use Cooking to Teach Your Child Family History.

When you teach your child to cook, it is a perfect time to talk about diverse subjects such as family culture, family history, family recipes, food politics, world hunger and more. This is the perfect time to teach your child healthy eating habits.

Southern Sweet Potato Pie

This pie is an excellent, spiced sweet potato pie. You will need the following ingredients:

- 2 med. Sweet potatoes (roughly 1 pound), peeled and cubed.

- 1 ¼ c. all-purpose flour.

- ¼ tsp. Salt.

- 1/3 C. Shortening

- 4-5 Tbs. Cold water

- ¼ C. butter or margarine

- ¾- 1 C. packed brown sugar

- 1 ½ tsp. Ground nutmeg

- 1/8 tsp. Salt

- 3 lg. Eggs, slightly beaten

- 1 12-oz. Can evaporated milk

- 1 C. whipped cream (optional)

- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)

Cinnamon Apple Crumb Pie

This is a delicious and easy apple pie to make for your Thanksgiving dinner. You need the following ingredients:

- 1 21-oz. can of apple pie filling.

- 1 9-inch unbaked pie shell.

- 4 Tbs. Butter divided.

- 1 ½-2 C. crushed pecan shortbread cookies.

Once you have all your ingredients, pour pie filling into unbaked pie shell. Sprinkle with cinnamon and dot with 1 Tbs. butter. Melt remaining butter and place cookie crumbs in a bowl. Stir in your butter until crumbs form. Sprinkle your crumbs over apple filling. Cover the edges of your pie with foil so your crust will not burn.
