My thanksgiving tips are as follows:
Begin one to two days before.
I have a rotato express machine which takes the peel off the apple making it much faster to create the apple pie.
Veggie Casserole Recipe:
To serve 6,
one bag frozen California Veggie Mix (carrots, caulflower, broccoli); defrosted
One cup frozen onions and one package sliced mushrooms,
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup shredded jack cheese
1 can cream of mushroom soup and 1 can of milk
1 cup cheese and garlic croutons
Saute the onions and mushrooms in 2 tablespoons butter until softened. Meanwhile combine the cheeses, soup, milk and croutons and sprinkle with freshly ground pepper. Toss with the onions and mushrooms. Bake uncovered in a preheated 400 degree oven until brown on top and bubbly (45 minutes to 1 hour). Even the kids will love it. You can make this one or two days before.
If you have a separate dining room, set it one to two days before. Lay a napkin over the plate so no dust or hair falls onto the plate and make sure the glasses are upside down.
