Make Ahead Recipes for Holiday Parties

As someone who typically hosts Thanksgiving, I really appreciate having a little help with the cooking! Thanksgiving in my kitchen can get a little hectic and it’s really nice for guests to bring something that doesn’t require a lot of reheating or cooking before it’s served. It’s even better if the dish is ready to eat and can just be put on the table! If you’ve volunteered to bring a dish to the Thanksgiving celebration this year, be a good guest and show up bearing one of these totally make-ahead recipes that’ll keep you out of the kitchen and in the party.
