Is anyone turning their thoughts to menu planning for various events during the BER months? I have! But I am by no means finished and I would love some inspiration from our wonderful community! I always learn so much from you all!
I know some folks only have one or two meals they really plan for - others may have quite a bit more. Some look forward to making the same favorites - others mix it up!
We can use this thread to post tentative menu plans for various events, discuss testing recipes and report progress on buying ahead on various non-perishables. Looking for a tried and true recipe of a certain type? Call it out! Also please, please, please share your cleverness on make ahead tricks for the recipes planned.
If someone posts a recipe on this thread I can copy/paste it into the category threads (Breakfast, Apps, Sides, etc.) already started in the Holiday Cooking board- if everyone is ok with that?
We can also post a link to this thread in the HHP, HGP and CC weeks that deal with menu planning.
What I have done for many years now is create one document that holds my plans for events running from Halloween to New Years Day. We have friends that always host a large trunk or treat/haunted woods walk party mid October. That event is typically the first "holiday" meal I need to be ready for.
What do you consider your first holiday meal to either contribute to or host? What do you have planned? I can't wait to hear what others are thinking!!!
