50 Make-Ahead Thanksgiving Recipes for the Perfectly Prepared Hostess

Oh, the Thanksgiving paradox: a house filled with loved ones who have traveled from near and far to see you, yet your quality time is spent with the stove. You try to seem a calm, cheery hostess, but in truth, you're frazzled. Your mind races with forgotten ingredients, you over-mix the mashed potatoes, and the gravy burns. We're here to break the cycle. This year, we've designed every dish on our menu to be made ahead so all you have to do on the big day is reheat, assemble, and pull together the finishing touches. We have all the classic dishes like Old School Green Bean Casserole and Candied Yams on deck for easy-to-prepare beforehand dishes. We didn't forget about the grand finale: a gorgeous dessert. We've got an all-star lineup of seasonal treats. Revel in good company and delicious dishes this holiday season. A festive, fuss-free Thanksgiving? Now that's something to be thankful for.
