The holiday season sure does keep us busy in the kitchen. From baking and decorating our favorite Christmas cookies for our cookie boxes and plates, to hosting family and friends from across the country, we’re feeling the strain when it comes to feeding our loved ones this holiday season. That’s why we’re keeping our eyes open for easy recipes, store-bought shortcuts, and other tips and tricks to make this time of year a little more seamless.
Luckily, our favorite grocers like Costco, Walmart, Sam’s Club, and Aldi are filled with easy appetizers and festive ingredients that keep our guests happy and our kitchens flowing smoothly.
We’re picking up pre-fab holiday dessert platters and ready-to-bake appetizers so we can spend less time in the kitchen and more time concentrating on our company. We recently learned that Costco has a new seasonal product perfect for easy entertaining—and we’re already filling our carts.
Costco Introduces New Teton Waters Ranch Cocktail Franks
Located in Colorado, Teton Waters Ranch has a mission of creating “mouthwatering, high protein, sustainably raised foods that are good for you, good for animals, and great for the Earth.” The brand has several 100 percent grass-fed beef products, including burgers, breakfast links, bratwurst, kielbasa, and more.
