Holiday Entertaining Tips: Don’t Forget Breakfast for Overnight Guests

The holidays often times mean overnight guests.  While you’re busy preparing that wonderful dinner for your family and friends spending the night, don’t forget to think about what they will eat in the morning!  Breakfast can be as simple or as elaborate as you would like to make it.  But just make sure you have something for them to eat!

A few things to keep in mind:

• Are your guests coffee or tea drinkers?  How do they like their morning drink prepared?  If you don’t have a chance to ask, make sure you have some cream and sugar on hand just in case.
• Any dietary needs?  If your guests are vegetarians, perhaps sausage gravy slathered over biscuits is not your best choice of breakfasts to prepare.
• What are your guests sleeping habits?  You can find out the night before, if you don’t already know.  That way you haven’t cooked an elaborate breakfast that becomes cold before they even wake up!
• If you’ve got a big day of activities and/or eating planned, keep it simple.  You don’t want to weigh everyone down with a big breakfast only to have a feast a few hours later.
