Did you know you can prep, freeze and reheat many Thanksgiving favorites? (Just make sure there's room...)   You might be surprised just how many foods you can freeze and reheat: - Stuffing/Dressing: Prepare your stuffing or dressing ahead of time, freeze it in an airtight container, and reheat it in the oven or on the stovetop. - Mashed Potatoes: Make mashed potatoes in advance, store them in an airtight container, and reheat them with a bit of butter and cream to restore their creaminess. - Gravy: You can prepare gravy early, cool it, and then freeze it. Reheat it on the stovetop, adding a little water or broth to reach the desired consistency. - Cranberry Sauce: Homemade cranberry sauce freezes beautifully. Thaw it in the refrigerator, and it's ready to serve. - Casseroles: Dishes like green bean casserole or sweet potato casserole can be assembled and frozen. Bake them on Thanksgiving day. - Pies: Most pies can be baked and frozen, then reheated in the oven before serving. Fruit pies and pumpkin pies freeze particularly well. - Rolls and Breads: Freeze rolls or bread a few days in advance, then warm them in the oven for a few minutes on Thanksgiving day. - Roasted Vegetables: Roast vegetables like carrots, Brussels sprouts, or butternut squash ahead of time, freeze them, and reheat them in the oven or on the stovetop. - Soup or Broth: If you're serving soup or using broth in recipes, make it ahead and freeze it. Reheat it gently on the stovetop. - Turkey Stock: After roasting the turkey, use the carcass to make turkey stock. Freeze it in containers for later use in gravies and soups. - Macaroni and Cheese: Prepare mac and cheese ahead of time, freeze it, and bake or reheat it on Thanksgiving day. - Desserts: Some desserts, like cheesecakes or bars, can be made in advance, frozen, and thawed in the refrigerator before serving. Remember to use airtight containers or freezer-safe bags for freezing, and label each dish with the date so you can keep track of freshness. Properly thaw and reheat dishes according to their specific instructions for the best results.    Time-Saving Thanksgiving Recipes To make your holiday feast planning a breeze, we've gathered a collection of Steamy Kitchen recipes that can be prepared ahead of time.
