1. Plan the menu with cleanup in mind
This is mandatory, and it’s actually OK to have a plan in mind that will help you get through this. You have to think twice about the menu, the recipes, and everything you had planned to eat for the holidays. You can do simple dishes that can be cooked in a single pan or in a single pot.
And if you want to make it a win-win situation, then ask the guests to bring some side dishes or even some sweets. And in the end, of course, you will wash the dishes, but it will be much easier than if you cooked all the food on your own.
