Homemade Eco-Friendly Christmas Meals
Planning a menu for any event is quite easy - you just think of a theme and start planning it. Turkey for Thanksgiving is a perfect fit. But what about Christmas? Is there anything specific? Will your guests love it? A single or multiple dishes?
These are some common questions that need to be answered before finalizing your menu for Christmas.
If you’re expecting a list of guests at the table, you need to go for more than one meal option. You can’t really go with it. It would look unpleasant.
So, we’re here to help you prepare a perfect combination of homemade eco-friendly Christmas meals that your guests would love to taste.
Shop local
Planning food starts with shopping, and your shopping behavior tells a lot about your personality. So, make sure that you are shopping in an eco-friendly way.
Shop from local grocery stores either by walking down the street or using public transport. You can also choose to pedal your bicycle if you’re really in the mood for pedaling. However, shopping for more than one meal would test your weight-lifting skills.
For that purpose, you can choose to buy a trolley with good wheels that can last longer.
