Foods for Holiday Meal

We’re well into the holiday season which means time for food, fellowship, and family. However, this year may look a little different due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Remember, it is important that we take care of our friends, coworkers, and family members during this time by wearing masks, washing our hands, and social distancing with at least 6 feet of distance. Some family members may have difficulty seeing each other this holiday season. But this shouldn’t stop you from finding better solutions. This holidays season may mean, having a virtual dinner together or playing a game over the computer. It may mean following CDC guidelines and keeping holiday dinners to a small capacity, social distancing, and maybe even celebrating outdoors.

145ºF Fish and eggs

Another important aspect of holiday safety, is food safety, when serving friends and family. One of the biggest safety tips to remember is to cook your foods to proper temperatures to prevent pathogens that create foodborne illness. After cooking, it’s important to make sure you’re keeping your cooking spaces cleaned and sanitized. For more information out holiday safety, check out the FCS@Home video below.
