Do you dread hosting the holidays?
Do you dread hosting the holidays? Even if it's just your own nuclear family?!?! Does the thought of serving up at least seven special dishes AT THE SAME TIME start beads of sweat forming on your forehead?
Imagine NOT spending hours cooking on Thanksgiving. Imagine an Easter free of stress. Imagine a Christmas spent sitting down with your family members and TALKING to them.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to serve up a homemade Holiday meal with minimal stress by pre-cooking, preparing and/or freezing some or even most of your holiday dishes so that you can actually ENJOY Thanksgiving (or Christmas or Hanukkah or Easter) this year. Let the Productive Mama help you countdown to an enjoyable holiday feast.
WHY Make Ahead Holiday Meals is Different
I won't be telling you exactly what to cook or when to cook it, though I will provide some suggestions and suggested schedules that you CAN follow.
Your access to a special Trello board gives you not only the information and ideas you need to design the most peaceful holiday meal you've ever hosted, but you also get the flexibility of a Trello board, which allows you to move around cards, assign due dates, add your own favorite recipes and MORE.
Benefits of this format include:

- you can customize your own plan with your own dates and scheduling
- cards are labeled by category for easy organizing and locating
- you can add or remove any sections you desire
- you can access this from ANYWHERE, from a computer, a tablet or a smart phone
- you can keep the files there for EASY access later or you can download them

I love hosting large family gatherings but don't necessarily like the "work" part of putting together a huge feast. Amylee has provided such a HUGE blessing to your upcoming holiday meal---she has created the Ultimate To-Do list. Stop over-thinking -- just follow her list so you can finally do the things you really want to on Thanksgiving or Christmas: enjoy your family, watch football, munch on snacks, and have a well-deserved glass of wine.
