Washington City HoneyBaked Ham Co. Takes the Hassle Out of the Holidays with Dinners To Go

Knock-knock: that's the holidays rapping on your door – again. The frenzy of the Thanksgiving holiday has passed, but now it's time for the next round of celebrations – in December. Whether it's dinners you are preparing for your family at home, parties you are attending, or office festivities, Washington City-area residents have to figure out what menu items they need for in-home holiday gatherings and what foods they will take to holiday events.

The purchase of prepared foods is popular during the holiday season. In fact, consumers who participated in a recent survey from Technomic, a Chicago-based research firm, indicated that they rely on party platters and catered food oftentimes the day before a major holiday. According to the study, reported last month by Restaurant News, people are too busy prepping with other things during the holidays and don't want to think about having to prepare meals. To take the ease out of cooking for holiday events, local residents will consider leaving the cooking to professionals. Many restaurants in the Washington City community will be offering holiday menus for guests to dine in or take out, including the local HoneyBaked Ham Co.

"We want to help local residents take the hassle out of the holidays,"
said LeeAnna Ventura of the HoneyBaked Ham Co., located at 740 West Telegraph Street in Washington City. "Many of our dedicated customers have told us that having us cater their gatherings during the holidays is a great time-saving alternative for them – and the quality of the food we provide is what makes the difference. And, it helps them do what matters the most this time of year – spend quality time with family, friends and colleagues."

Featuring traditional holiday meal options such as its signature spiral-sliced ham and heat and serve dishes, including a new spinach dip, sweet potato souffle, green bean casserole and other decadent meal accoutrements, the local HoneyBaked Ham Co. provides an array of meal offerings ideal for Christmas dinners and other celebratory events this month, Ventura said. The local store even offers special Party Bundles for holiday office gatherings that can include HoneyBaked Ham's spiral-sliced ham, turkey breast and dessert choices. The retail store is part of the HoneyBaked franchise, which has been in business for more than 50 years and has an unparalleled reputation for quality.

Even if local residents decide to cook holiday dishes themselves, the local HoneyBaked Ham Co. even provides recipes on its Web site, using pre-cooked foods. Some popular holiday recipes on the Web site include Ham & Turkey Pot Pies and Ham Succotash & Cheddar Biscuits, Ventura said. The recipes can be found by visiting www.honeybakedham.com. "Our obligation to our customers is to be of any assistance we can during this busy time of year," Ventura said. "We are here to serve our community this holiday season; we are here to serve them good food."
