Christmas magic makers – do you have a group you are needing to feed? Perhaps you have one significant meal you are preparing for, or like us, you have days of meals that are needed to feed more than are usually home. We have some tips for you! From how to make the food stretch (think loaves and fishes but in soup format) to how to get others to help (assign jobs or favorite foods) we’ve got ideas for you. We also cover how to balance from sit down to feed yourselves, how a “food bar” helps meet various preferences and dietary restrictions, and how bigger kids eat more, but also can take on a lot more responsibility.

Food during the holidays can bring an extra dose of nostalgia. Let’s not let it also bring an extra dose of stress. Plan ahead. Bring a joyful attitude. And celebrate that you have mouths to feed and food to offer them. Expectations might need to be adjusted, but we believe in you and trust that, along with your team of helpers, you can feed ALL the people this holiday season.
