These entries will be an ongoing series until Thanksgiving, and then these will be turned into an article for future reference. If you have ideas for dishes that you can make ahead for the holidays, please email me at amy@momadvice.com and I will include your recipes within the entries.

It’s gotta be Yam Casserole. The recipe I have is a knock your socks off kind, it’s that good.

What a great list, you should include it next week in the Winter Bazaar, it would fit oh so well.
I’m already starting to drool over things I get to fix each November. It’s my big excuse to eat all the things I like and ignore my batch of picky eaters.

This year it’ll be turkey having not eaten meat during the past 5 Thanksgivings! Aside from that I love green bean casserole and my family recipe for jell-o!

Jalapeno Corn: 2 cans corn, 1 tub chive flavor cream cheese, 2 diced jalapenos (you can remove the seeds to keep the flavor without the heat.) Stir together and microwave to heat through–you don’t need room in the oven or on the stovetop and the dish takes 5 minutes from start to finish. It’s a little untraditional, but my mom started making it about 10 years ago and it’s become a family favorite!

Oh, by far my favorite is my mom’s cornbread dressing. It’s really kind of sad how much of it I can put away.
