Holiday Food Safety Tips
Celebrating the holidays with a big meal or special food? The last thing you want is to get sick - that's no fun at all. In order to keep your holiday meals safe - and delicious - the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) always issues a food safety bulletin prior to the holiday season that is filled with good cooking practices for your kitchen.
As a foodie, what always amazes me in regards to these so-called "food safety tips for the holidays" is that they really should apply all year long. Don't get me wrong - I understand where the CDC is coming from; the holiday season finds many people in kitchens cooking when they normally wouldn't. In these cases, a good primer isn't a bad idea.
