NEW YORK, Dec. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Everyone's looking for that great idea that will impress guests and make them feel welcome during this special time of year. So the big question is, "what can you do that hasn't been done before?" (See video at: http://media.medialink.com/WebNR.aspx?story=32870) The most important thing to have on your table is a nicely presented meal with all the trimmings. For instance, if you're having a turkey, pick up fresh herbs, a few small apples, and mixed nuts in the shell. It'll create a beautiful garnish for your platter. Also, try and make some variations on the same old potatoes. Everyone loves mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes at a holiday meal, but why not surprise them with a little twist. To save time, use instant mashed potatoes and then combine them with whipped sweet potatoes in one bowl so they maintain their distinctive colors sitting next to each other. With the right ideas and some planning, your meal can be the hit of the party. For more information, log onto http://www.bettycrocker.com/.
