π¦ Your From-Scratch Thanksgiving Menu (Make-Ahead Friendly!)
|
Hey Reader! Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away! If you're starting to plan your menu, here's a from-scratch spread you can make (mostly!) ahead of time so you can actually enjoy the day. π¦π𧑠Your Thanksgiving Menu
βββββ Only a few minutes of prep, and you can make it up to 4 days in advance! A crowd favorite every time.
βββββ The ultimate classic, with just two ingredients. Make it ahead or on the big day!
βββββ Tender green beans and crispy fried onions in a creamy sauce. The classic everyone expects!
βββββ For the top of that green bean casserole... if they make it that far! π
βββββ All the flavor of the box, but you control the ingredients. Husband and brothers approved!
βββββ Cheesy and creamy with no heavy cream needed. Prep it and keep it in the fridge up to 2 days before baking!
βββββ A comforting side that's easy to make fresh, or freeze ahead.
βββββ Soft, buttery, and extra fluffy. These freeze beautifully, so bake them this weekend!
βββββ Not a turkey family? Make your own honey glaze from scratch, even with a store-bought spiral ham! Thanks for Reading!
