Make Your Thanksgiving Stuffing Today - and Freeze It!

Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends. To gather around the table with thanks and good cheer. To visit and laugh and love.

Let’s be honest.

Thanksgiving is a lot of work!

• meal planning

• shopping

• housecleaning

• table setting

• cooking

• serving

• cleaning

• keeping everyone happy

• dirty dishes and spills

I wish I looked this lovely after toiling over Thanksgiving Day!

I’ve talked about how to play nice on Thanksgiving before.

And how to help your children get along with everyone.

But this article is about how to make your life easier for Thanksgiving.

Start your Thanksgiving cooking today - and freeze it!

I found a new stuffing recipe I wanted to try. I discovered it was a LOT of work!

Good thing I made this stuffing the week before Thanksgiving! There is no way I would be happy if I had toiled for so long on Thanksgiving day!

But it is delicious!

How do I know? I saved a bit to try today before serving it at Thanksgiving.

My husband doesn’t like stuffing. Until now. With this stuffing, he scraped the pan clean!

Use your immersion blender to puree the hot softened veggies into the cream. You don’t have an immersion blender? Then ask for one from Santa!🎅

Mix everything together gently. Place in your pan. Wrap for the freezer.

One less thing on my to-do list!

How to serve your frozen stuffing:

• The day before Thanksgiving, I will let the stuffing thaw overnight in the fridge.

• 30 minutes before serving, I will unwrap the pan and bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes.

• Enjoy!

Have no stress and no mess at dinnertime with freezer meals!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
