What do you do when you have guests coming in before the holidays and
are already overwhelmed with the Thanksgiving or Christmas feasts? My
go-to is a spicy curry chicken that can be made ahead and an Asian salad that
will satisfy even the pickiest eaters. It is a favorite meal during the holidays
and throughout the year. I love having something that always gets rave
reviews—everyone enjoys it.
SETTING THE TABLE
A simple table setting is always beautiful and can be used for a pre-holiday meal or
Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers by using pumpkins for Thanksgiving and
adding pinecones and holly for Christmas. When we have guests for a few days, it is nice
to have a base table set. Then I can enlist the help of family and friends to get creative
and take the table settings up a notch for the actual holiday.
