Question:

Can you share some holiday meal preparation tips?

Answer:

So when trying a new recipe, you wanna ensure that you are reading the instructions more than one time. So when you're first looking at a recipe, you're going through that recipe, you're understanding, you know, the equipment, the, uh, ingredients that you need, and you're also taking your time to really ensure that you're taking account all of the variations and things that could potentially happen with that recipe. If you don't have a particular piece of equipment or if you don't have that particular ingredient, and you need to make substitutes with anything that you're doing that's new, you wanna give yourself the patience in understanding and learning that. And really approaching reading your recipe from a space of, um, learning so that with the finished outcome, you aren't too hard on yourself and you're really ensuring that you're doing everything that you can with the recipe. So at the end of the day, when you're trying new things, especially when it's getting close to the holidays, make sure that you're reading your recipes and you're going through 'em more than once. You're holding yourself accountable to, um, anything that can happen with that recipe, whether, um, it's the finished product or being able to, um, have those particular ingredients and those, um, that particular equipment that you need to be successful.
