FOOD and ENTERTAINING

For me the cooking is that hardest part of the holidays.  Mostly because I don’t know how to do it and when I do try it usually ends in disaster.  It is one more thing that is definitely not simple for me and causes added stress when I need it the least.

Sam’s Club, with their Holidays Made Simple has provided numerous resources to help make things easier for you this holiday season, and that includes the cooking.

More Feast Less Fuss

The “More Feast Less Fuss” interactive online guide will help you make the most of your holiday entertaining with the least amount of effort.  The guide provides great suggestions for quick and easy items to include in your holiday menus (don’t try and eat your screen) and best of all, it has a one day pass on the past page that you can print out in case you do not already have a Sam’s Club membership and want to check it out (valid through Dec 31st EXCEPT for Nov. 27).

Sample Before You Serve

Seriously.  You doesn’t want to walk around Sam’s Club and TRY the food?  You are NUTS if you don’t want to.  From Nov 20th through Nov 22nd, Sam’s Club is having a “Holiday Taste of Sam’s Club” event where you can try a bunch of great holiday foods before you serve them to your family.  Check out the interactive guide on the Food and Entertainment page to see all the food they will have available for sampling.  Go hungry!!!  Oh, and the back page of that guide also has a one-day pass good through Nov 22nd that you can print, so you have NO EXCUSE to go try Sam’s Club food.  I can picture a bunch of people running around Sam’s Club, guide in hand, having mapped out exactly what they want to try and in what order!  I’ll be there!

And don’t forget that the Sam’s Club Holidays Made Simple site has a number of other ways to help you simply YOUR life this holiday season.
