Raise your hand if your “to-do” list is overwhelming during the holidays.

I know mine is and the last thing I want to do the day of the holiday is cook all day long. I want to visit with everyone and enjoy the time with them. So, my solution is to make a couple of casseroles ahead of time, put them in the freezer or fridge to bring out, and just throw them in the oven.

I started looking for make-ahead-friendly recipes and here are just a few I found I think everyone will enjoy. Even the kids!! I hope they will help you cut back on the stress of the holidays too.
