I love Ina’s potato fennel gratin- but it takes some time in the oven- even if you’re just re-heating. Even with the turkey being done and the oven free think you are going to struggle with baking sweet potato casserole, fennel gratin and mac and cheese and have it all hot. Since the gratin has cheese and so does the mac and cheese. I would do mashed potatoes, stove top mac and cheese (put in crockpot to keep warm) and save the oven for the rolls and sweet potatoes. I agree with others- lose the goat cheese, the hollandaise(sub for lemon garlic butter with a sprinkle of parmesan.) Pomegranate seeds aren’t going to add anything but a weird texture to your cranberry sauce.You need a green salad with an acidic dressing: white wine vinegar, honey, olive oil, dijon. I do admire your culinary ambitions.

Thanks! That’s helpful. I have a great stove top mac and cheese and crock pot stuffing I can do and put both in crock pots. I have 2. I have a very basic green salad with homemade vinaigrette I make basically daily. The pom has no texture or seeds. It is just the bottled pom juice with cranberry. It’s a sub for water or orange juice. It’s a little less sweet and super easy.

Interesting sub with the pom juice - I made mine today and was out of orange juice so added a splash of Trader Joe’s grapefruit juice. Also, I think you’re hurting yourself and should lose the corn. Plenty of butter elsewhere and one more thing to worry about being hot. My back aches for you. Take some Advil when you get up to prep and make sure to wear supportive tennis shoes.

Corn is just a microwave steamable bag of frozen! It’s one of the few things my children will eat. I think the only dishes that will take time will be the gratin and stuffing and pies.
