The holidays are officially here! Spectrum Stone Designs is excited to spend time with loved ones and make special memories. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah and more celebrations mean more yummy food and delicious drinks are headed our way. This time of year brings joy and comfort and we want you to have all of the fun without any of the stress, so we are explaining how to prep your kitchen for the holidays.
Circle B Ranch reminds us of an easy task to do before hosting holiday meals (that we should be doing several times a year) – cleaning out your pantry and fridge. This is especially important before the holidays, so you don’t get overwhelmed with unwanted or outdated items taking up space for all those holiday goodies. Cleaning out your refrigerator and pantry can also help you see what staples you have and what you may need before having guests over for holiday meals and festivities.
You can only enjoy delicious holiday treats with proper serveware. Get your utensils, platters, and decorative plates ready to entertain your guests. Use serveware that matches your natural stone countertops to make your holiday cooking space extra glamorous.
Next, inspect your spice rack to ensure you have all the flavors to cook your holiday meals, explains Eat Well 101. Sometimes holiday recipes you don’t cook year-round call for less common ingredients. Look at your recipes and ingredients in advance to ensure you’re not missing anything the day of your holiday get-together.
Food Smart Colorado reminds us to clean our kitchen countertops and appliances but to sanitize them to get them holiday-ready. The season brings holiday fun, but also germs and illnesses, so keeping your kitchen sanitary and clean is crucial. Clean your countertops and high-touch-point areas like door knobs, drawer knobs and pulls, and appliance handles. Also, clean and sanitize your microwave, oven, and stove.
You may be feeling extra motivated to get your kitchen in tip-top shape. If you want to do more than just clean and organize, Spectrum Stone Designs can help turn your kitchen into your favorite spot in your home. Learn how to add seasonal stone accents, and additional holiday cooking space, or employ holiday kitchen trends. We would love to guide you through a kitchen renovation for the holidays.
