Tips for a Stress-Free Dairy-Free Christmas Morning

• Prep the night before whenever possible. Christmas morning isn't the time for complicated recipes.
• Choose breakfasts that can be stored at room temperature, stay warm, or be reheated easily. Prep muffins, pancakes, or casseroles the day before.
• Balance sweet options with protein-rich recipes to keep everyone full longer (and reduce meltdowns...a holiday miracle!)
