I’ve also made this Christmas Eve before. I just doubled the recipe and used a large crockpot. You just can’t beat slowcooker recipesanytime you are busy, and especially around the holidays. They basically cook themselves and there’s just one big pot to clean up after. You can even buy special liners for your crockpot that you can pull out and toss at the end of the meal. I don’t use them very often though. Instead I spray my cooker with non-stick spray before adding any of the ingredients. Any food or sauce that gets stuck on the pot comes off pretty easily when it’s time to scrub.

Undercounter water filters have elaborate instructions about its installation, and the process is a bit lengthy, but once you install the system, you can forget about it and reap in the benefits. If you are not up to installing the filter on your own, you can have it fitted by a plumber once and later this filter only needs change of cartridge which can be easily done by anyone. Depending on the kind of filter you have purchased, and the stages in purification process, you might have to change the cartridges. If your water filter has a pre-filter, its cartridge needs to be changed every six months, and the main filter cartridge has to be changed once a year. So get an undercounter filter in your house, and relax and get rid of your worries.

Most importantly, write things down. Figure out a central location for everyone in the family to write down things that need to be completed, like on the refrigerator. This way, everyone in the family can learn time management together. By writing things down that need to be done, you won’t forget to do them. Also, if a task takes less than two minutes to do, do it right then.
