Let’s Talk About Stress-Free Holiday Short Cuts with Felice Gerwitz

Felice analyzes what causes her stress and then she devised a plan to short-cut those holiday preparations. So even if you are out of time or have plenty of time ahead of you, you can use these ideas and tips!

Show Notes:

  1. Order or buy prepared foods
  2. Keep extras on hand
  3. Fast appetizers that are crowd pleasers
  4. Bake (if you must) and use these short-cuts (see mix below)
  5. Decorations on a budget that look great

    6. Felice’s all purpose Stress-Free Holiday Shortcuts– these make great cookie bars as well.

    • Cream 1/4 cup of butter with 3/4 cup of coconut oil and 3/4 cup of white sugar and 3/4 cup of brown sugar
    • Add two eggs and beat well
    • Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
    • Slowly add 2 1/4 of unbleached flour (if the dough is very sticky, slowly add up to 1/4 of a cup of flour)

      • You can use this basic dough to make:

      • 2 cups of White chocolate cookies with macadamia nuts
      • 2 cups of Chocolate chip cookies with walnuts or pecans
      • 1 cup of oatmeal with walnuts or pecans

        • Use this for cookies or for a short-cut use a pan and make pan cookies. Bake at 350 degrees.
