[quote=Anonymous]I'm cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year, and it will be a small group but we still want the Thanksgiving favorites.  I have a busy week at work next week and have some medical issues going on that are making me extra tired (plus I have a procedure on Monday that may result in lingering pain over the following few days), so I'm trying to cut down on the amount of food prep.  Here's what I'm planning so far.  Any other tips to cut down on the Thanksgiving meal workload?

- Buying all of the desserts (pie, cake, cookies).
- Buying one of the veggie sides from Whole Foods.
- Make-ahead mashed potatoes (still have to do the prep, but will just re-heat the day of). (**Is there a store-bought option that tastes good?  I think years ago I bought mashed potatoes from Whole Foods and didn't love them so haven't done that again.**)
- Making the cranberry sauce a couple days ahead of time.
- Cubing, drying and freezing bread cubes for stuffing ahead of time (**I always make the bread cubes myself, but are the bagged bread cubes just as good as drying out your own??**)
- Using frozen thaw and bake rolls.

Thanks for any tips![/quote]
