5 Ways to Use a Credenza

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Sauder. The opinions and text are all mine.

4 days until Christmas! 4 DAYS until Christmas!! That is what I woke up to yesterday. My boys chanting ‘4 days until Christmas’ repeatedly. But wait, what? Only 4 days? How? Where’d the month go? There’s still so much to do, things to buy, and most importantly…food to make.

Whether we are getting our family and friends together for the holidays or just to hang out, it calls for a lot of prep. We always have lots of different foods and desserts to satisfy everyone. But we also have to worry about drinks. When we have guests of all ages with all different tastes, the drink list can become long.

Cooking and baking go hand in hand with the holidays in my home. Last month we hosted back-to-back Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas is no different. Not only do we have the family meals, but there are also school parties, friends parties and much more. Our oven really gets a workout through the next few weeks.

For me, being overwhelmingly busy is unavoidable, especially during the holiday season. Work is busy, our schedules are packed, and my list of things that need to be complete is never-ending. On top of all that, for over a month the boys have been passing around some sort of sickness that has kept this house under the weather.

With winter quickly approaching, my weekly meal plans typically change, too. More comfort foods are added to the rotation of homemade meals. All kinds of soups are the one thing that can easily warm me up on a cold day.
