Parenting is a mammoth responsibility every single day of the year, but during the busy holiday season stress can mount over things like Christmas gift buying, travel arrangements (or hosting visiting friends and relatives, if your home is this year’s the destination.) We all worry about what to feed our families, and this time of year when special, traditional foods are expected on the menu, there’s the added worry about how to even throw it all together. While shopping for Thanksgiving meal ingredients two weeks ago, I overheard a conversation between two busy moms:
“I know I do this every year, but I can never remember how to cook a turkey!”
“Me neither. Or even how long to thaw it out, and I’m hosting a part for my home security team in two days.”
I felt sure they would both go home and just Google it, and all would be well — but many times, people don’t seek the help they need to safely prepare meal items like roasted turkey, and the results can cause illness. The last thing anyone wants is food poisoning for Christmas, so check out the infographic below for how to avoid the risks of undercooking or improperly storing your holiday delicacies.
