Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    *To quickly thaw the frozen potatoes, place in colander or strainer; rinse with warm water until thawed; drain well. **To quickly thaw the frozen asparagus, cut small slit in center of pouch. Microwave on High 2 to 3 minutes or until thawed; drain well.
  • tip 2
    For each napkin ring, cut a 15-inch piece of 1/2-inch-wide wired ribbon. Tie the ribbon around the napkin and thread jingle bells on the ribbon. Curl the end of the ribbon loosely around your finger.
