Woman Has Christmas Dinner Already Cooked

Tahnee Beck, a mother of two, has already prepared most of her Christmas dishes well in advance, spending only $40 and a few hours in the kitchen to get everything ready. “Christmas should be a relaxing time for all – including the host,” she says. This year, she’s stored a variety of dishes in her freezer, including roast potatoes, red cabbage with apple, parsnips, and even waffles for Christmas morning, allowing her to enjoy a stress-free holiday without being stuck in the kitchen.

Tahnee’s forward-thinking approach also saves her money, as she estimates her early preparation cuts her Christmas costs by half, saving around $6,000 over the past seven years. This holiday, she’s looking forward to a peaceful morning of opening gifts with her family instead of rushing to cook for her party of six, confident that her pre-frozen meals will make the day smooth and enjoyable.

Tahnee encourages others to plan ahead, especially if they want a relaxed and budget-friendly holiday. She advises, “Sit down and work out your menu and when you’ll cook each dish during the run-up to Christmas. And don’t forget to take it out of the freezer on Christmas Eve.” By planning and freezing dishes, Tahnee ensures her family can savor a variety of homemade treats, without stress or waste.
