Going to the grocery store without a list, especially for an important holiday meal, is always a bad idea. But, going early before things start to run out is a very good one.
The Countdown to Christmas Challenge for today is to create your grocery list from the recipes of the dishes you plan to prepare for your Christmas meal. Be sure to include every ingredient that you will need. You don’t want to be stuck without the yams for your sweet potato pie!
