Holiday Cooking Tips
• Double your recipes so you can have leftovers. It’s not much harder to double ingredients and leftovers are great for the days when you don’t feel well enough to cook.
• Have a friend or family member to go ingredients shopping with you.
• Buy small boxes and containers that are easier to lift.
• Organize your kitchen so that commonly used cookware is easily accessible. Try to keep pots and pans close to where you actually will be using them.
• Use pots and pans with two handles.
• Keep a stool near by in case you need a place to rest while cooking.
• Use ergonomic kitchen tools that are lightweight, have non-slip handles and easy grips.
• Avoid unnecessary work, buy pre-chopped vegetables or meats.
