Tips for A Stress-Free Holiday Feast
It’s the most wonderful time of the year again, and that means hosting your annual holiday soirée. At Maytag Dairy Farms, we understand that playing host may feel more like a burden than a blessing. But we’ve come up with some tips to help you plan a stress-free holiday dinner so you can enjoy tasty food with your friends and family.
Free up oven space with no-cook appetizers
Cheese and charcuterie boards are simple, easy, delicious appetizers that can be assembled in minutes. Maytag Dairy Farms’ specialty handcrafted cheeses are a perfect addition to any charcuterie board. Impress your guests by pairing our award-winning cheeses with our smooth Maytag Honey, flavorful jellies, or warm Bourbon Pecan Sauce. Finish off your board with cured meats from another great Iowa company, La Quercia, for an impeccable platter sure to please everyone.
Create an inclusive menu
One of the biggest points of stress in planning a holiday meal is ensuring all your guests find a dish they can enjoy. That means providing some side dishes that may be on the lighter side to fit specific dietary requirements or making a vegetarian dish for those who may not eat meat. Our Maytag Blue Cheese Crumbles Cups are everything you love about our famous blue cheese in easy-to-use crumbles. The buttery tang and clean finish make it a perfect cheese for finishing off a variety of recipes from our Honey-Blood Orange Broccoli Slaw to hearty roasted vegetables.
Find the perfect beverage to pair with your dish
Amp up your holiday dinner by using our online pairing wheel to see what beer, wine, or cocktails pair best with Maytag Dairy Farms’ flavorful cheeses. When in doubt, try a twist on traditional mead with Maytag Mead derived from the honey of our local bees. Or stop by our Hometown Store located in the heart of downtown Newton, Iowa inside the Muse Wine Bar to choose from a wide selection of wines to serve your guests.
At Maytag Dairy Farms, we savor the experience of sharing delicious, high-quality food with our closest friends and family. We hope these tips help you create the perfect, stress-free holiday feast to enjoy with your loved ones.
