It's backwards day at Works For Me Wednesday today. And oh boy, do I have a timely question.
I've come to that advanced age of motherhood and daughter-hood and daughter-in-law-hood when I've realized that I love hosting the holidays, I just want to make it a little easier. And while I know the easiest thing would be for us all to go out to eat, that's not the route I want to go. I'd just like the meal preparation to go a little easier on me, so I can take a minute to sit while talking or even see part of the parade. And did I mention that when the family comes for Thanksgiving and Christmas, they come for 5-6 days?
Yes, I am insane. In-laws, my mother, and at least one set of aunt, uncle, and cousins, sometimes two sets.
I'm a glutton for punishment, who's kinda of excited.
So, what I'd like to do freeze a few meals. That I know how to do.
Has anyone ever frozen a sweet potato casserole or dressing for Thanksgiving?
I'd love to know how it went, because I really don't feel like trying a test run in the 14 days left before Thanksgiving. Please, please leave me some great information. I'll even take links to freezable food.

Sweet potato casserole freezes beautifully. Just mix it up, cover tightly with plastic then with tinfoil and freeze. I usually freeze before baking, because then I just unwrap and pop it in the oven.
Never tried the stuffing - but then again, I cheat and use Stovetop. With a few additions, my family can't tell the difference between the boxed and the made-from-scratch.
Good luck!
