Let the OSU Extension Service and Oklahoma Home and Community Education (OHCE) help ease you into the holiday spirit with our first ever virtual holiday event! Grab a cup of cocoa, snuggle up in your favorite recliner and join us online Thursday, December 2, 2021 at 7 p.m. as OSU Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) Extension Educators and OHCE members demonstrate some super-easy, super-fun “Holiday Entertaining Hacks.” It’s a free event, you don’t even have to leave home. All you need is your iPad or computer and you’re set. You will, however, need to have access to “Zoom” which is easy to obtain by going to zoom.us on your computer or by downloading to your mobile device from your app store.
Our line-up for the event includes Jessica Riggin, Lincoln County FCS Extension Educator. Jessica will demonstrate the most incredibly easy cinnamon roll recipe for your holiday breakfast. Some of you might know Jessica from her “Raising Oklahoma” segment on Fox 25, “Living Oklahoma”.
Joining us from Tulsa’s News 6 “Cooking Corner” kitchen will be Michelle Bonicelli, Tulsa County FCS Extension Educator. Michelle will show us how to make a tasty make-ahead holiday casserole.
This season’s hottest entertainment trend is the charcuterie board. OSU Extension has many talented FCS Educators, and a fan-favorite is Debbie Sharp from Murray County. Debbie is going to give us some tips for impressing our guests with our new charcuterie skills.
OSU Extension is also proud to present OHCE member from Cleveland County, April Green, to share a holiday craft project that goes right along with our holiday entertaining theme. April will be showing us how to make napkins rings with recycled and dollar store items for under 50 cents each.
