You are already going crazy with the endless shopping list for the next few days? Don't worry, take a break, think and then act!
Shopping list for those who will cook during the holidays
Making a shopping list for those who cook Christmas menus is a bit more complicated than usual because you have to get exactly everything you need without forgetting anything.
We suggest you or to make one recipe list that you will prepare e next to it a list of ingredients necessary.
Always take something extra in case of possible failure in the kitchen. A pack of eggs 12 is better than a six also because if the eggs are left over you can use them later as they have a fairly long storage.
Don't overdo it with easily perishable products.
In addition to this, don't forget what you need for the family breakfast, any snacks even if you must not underestimate the amount of things you will have to dispose of between sweets and other delicacies of all kinds.
Don't forget the bread which is always needed and maybe buy a little more to freeze.
And don't forget either tea and herbal teas that will accompany the slow afternoons at home and help to better digest the holidays.
Shopping list for those who won't cook during the holidays
Those who do not cook, on the other hand, are certainly more fortunate because they will be able to enjoy the holidays pampered and in total relaxation, but watch out because, if you are among them, you could find without stocks at home for days if you don't get organized in time.
Grocery stores and supermarkets will be closed for the holidays, so make sure you have everything you need for the next few days. Those who cook will always have something to put in their teeth because leftovers they never end. Those who are guests, on the other hand, usually have nothing at home.
Take a good one stock up on vegetables and fruit for the stage detox after party and buy the necessary to prepare meals with minimum effort and maximum yield.
Salads of legumes and cereals for example, or baking pans and flans of baked vegetables, always pasta for a quick first and meat and fish to be frozen already portioned.
A nice amount of eggs also should never fail to prepare omelettes, Pancake for breakfast and cakes and biscuits for a snack or to give to your hosts during the holidays.
You make a nice one too stock up on bread or flour and yeast if you have time and desire to prepare pizzas and homemade focaccia.
Supermarket, but also small shops
Don't crowd supermarkets these days, remember there are also shops that never as in this period need a little support.
For meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, and also for bread, stock up on food small trusted shops and for everything else go to supermarket, trying to choose, if you can, a suitable time.
Very early in the morning there is less confusion, there is less queue and there is more choice.
Buy online what you can choose without looking, smelling and touching, i.e. packaged products, but not fresh products, and make sure you do it in time because deliveries will also be delayed in the coming days.
Stress-free holidays
Enjoy your holidays as much as you can, in this difficult year we all deserve it!
Cook with a little advance what you just need to heat or defrost. Mostly, cook less.
Do not prepare lucullian lunches and dinners because you will be few at the table and it is never worth it waste on food.
If you really can't regulate yourself with quantities, get yourself some trays for freezingand or give away what is left over.
The Christmas it is not only dinner and lunch, but also an important moment of sharing, not only of the table.
Greetings to you all!
