<p>No matter what side of the fence you&#8217;re on, chances are around the holidays there will be leftovers, and if you love leftovers make extra so you can enjoy these. If you don&#8217;t like typical leftovers of eating the same items heated up night after night, maybe you&#8217;ll find a new favorite.</p>

<p>I used cranberry juice, vodka, and Jell-O. <a href="https://amzn.to/3tPaEOg" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">Cranberry jello</a> is available at Walmart or <a href="https://amzn.to/3tPaEOg" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">amazon</a>, black cherry is a great option if you can&#8217;t find cranberry or use Knox gelatin.&nbsp;</p>
<p>These are festive, and for a cute garnis,h place some rosemary sprigs into some fresh cranberries.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another possible flavor option is to use cranberry and a little lime for a citrusy kick. I&#8217;m thinking raspberry and lemon will be a great flavor as well.</p>
<p>These are the <a href="https://amzn.to/3V0qd1G" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">size cups</a> I used, you can use smaller cups as well.</p>

<p>These would be fun for a Friendsgiving, or maybe to amp things up on Thanksgiving if you have to wait for the main course to be served.</p>
<p>Great at a holiday party.</p>
<p>New Year&#8217;s&#8230;</p>
<p>You name it.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been fun having them in the fridge to enjoy on a moment&#8217;s notice!</p>
<p>The amount of vodka can be adjusted to your liking, regular or strong.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can make them without vodka, for a fun, small festive jello cups to serve to everyone.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I love Thanksgiving, but with large dinners often comes stress. Right!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Over the years I&#8217;ve simplified many things in my life to make it less stressful and more enjoyable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I shared my <strong><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2018/12/simplifying-christmas.html" data-wpel-link="internal">Simplify Christmas</a></strong> here and heard from many who loved it, tried it, and were successful at enjoying more while doing less.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For years I had an image in my mind that things should be the way they were when I was young. The elaborate dinners, and for years I carried it out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I was completely stressed, didn&#8217;t enjoy it as much as I thought I would, and then even began resenting all the time I spent for it to be over so quickly before I had a chance to enjoy it.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like having any party, so much prep, cleaning, and work goes into making it all happen, that I now realize I rarely enjoy it if I&#8217;m stressed, tired, and have been go-go-go all day to prepare for the finale.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;ve learned to simplify the holidays in all ways, from the planning, prep, the cooking. Reducing the number of menu items I&#8217;ll serve. To take time for me to enjoy the time with everyone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I often get asked if my kids help. I&#8217;d be lying if I said they do. I&#8217;d sure like more help, but that doesn&#8217;t seem to be in the plan on their end. And I don&#8217;t force it, as I know full well that dealing with people who are doing things they don&#8217;t want to do doesn&#8217;t make anyone happy.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My husband helps me peel the potatoes and grab the dishes I need, lifts all the heavy stuff, mashes the potatoes, and makes sure to remind me of any last-minute things I may forget. He helps keep the sink clear of dirty dishes and puts items washed away. I don&#8217;t like feeling like I&#8217;ll forget things so I typically have a <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Holdiay-Checklist-printable-2.pdf" data-wpel-link="internal">printed <strong>checklist</strong></a>, so I check things off and don&#8217;t forget to serve an item I still have in the fridge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The day before I make the cranberry sauce, prep the stuffing and sweet potato dish, make my make-ahead gravy, prep the vegetable dishes, and get the <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2019/11/turkey-thawing.html" data-wpel-link="internal">turkey thawed for cooking</a>.&nbsp;<br>
On the day of, I make the mashed potatoes. These <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2011/11/pumpkin-mashed-potatoes.html" data-wpel-link="internal">pumpkin mashed potatoes</a> are fun as well.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I used to make more side dishes and worry about rolls, we&#8217;ve tried many homemade versions but none were &#8220;perfect&#8221; yet. so we buy Hawaiian potato rolls. I don&#8217;t make the jello salad I love, but often make it days after to enjoy with the leftovers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I don&#8217;t make more side dishes,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I make less variety but have plenty of each item that I do serve.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PIE&#8230;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I used to make all the pies, but now usually make one a week before to enjoy or the week after. These <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2018/09/cookie-cakes-and-pies.html" data-wpel-link="internal">cookie pies</a> shown above are very fun, the crust is a sugar cookie, and you can use store-bought frosting or <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2010/08/video-how-to-frost-a-rose-on-a-cupcake-in-20-seconds.html" data-wpel-link="internal">homemade buttercream frosting</a> and then add some pie filling. The sugar cookies can be baked ahead of time, and even frozen and thawed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On Thanksgiving, we&#8217;ve all had plenty of pumpkin pie by the time the big day rolls around, thanks so Sam&#8217;s club/Costco, so now we have everyone&#8217;s all-time favorite <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2014/11/chocolate-espresso-pudding-pie.html" data-wpel-link="internal">chocolate pudding pie, I make it homemade and add espresso, </a>but you can also cook jello chocolate pudding which is what my mom always makes!

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Breaking up the large meal so we can enjoy it longer by making things before or after has helped a lot in previous years.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After all, we eat dinner every day, so enjoying some sides with let&#8217;s say&#8230; grilled chicken will turn out really well.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How to make the<a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/turkey-cooking-methods-recipes-and-more/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal"> perfect turkey</a>&#8230; all sorts of options</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Decor:</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I don&#8217;t decorate much. I really like the simplified decor of my home and just add a pumpkin to the table or island. Could be a real pumpkin, a fake one, or wood pumpkin, but I keep it simple it reduces my stress and I really don&#8217;t like clutter all over, and feel the decorated look stresses me out with everything else going on in the kitchen.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I love fresh flowers, but I prefer them cut and trimmed to just pop over a glass jar and not be in the view of what&#8217;s on the other side of them. I often place them near the sink to distract myself from the never-ending dirty dishes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is no shortage of dishes to be done when a holiday meal is being made.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An hour before dinner&#8230; (whether guests will be arriving or you&#8217;re keeping it smaller and just having a dinner for two or your immediate family) drink water, have something to eat, something small. So you&#8217;re not stressed, or starving as things are coming together in the last hour.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Have a few slices of an apple, with a piece of cheese, some olives, some veggies, and dip, if your turkey is out of the oven, cut off a piece and place it in a roll and ENJOY, it might be the best bite of food you have all day!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Now, let&#8217;s talk leftovers:</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is no need to make all this food and not enjoy the leftovers! <strong><a href="https://amzn.to/3Gk2pkS" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">I use containers like these</a></strong>. They are <a href="https://amzn.to/3Gk2pkS" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">24 oz reusable plastic food containers with lids,</a> they stack easily in the fridge/freezer. The perfect leftover size. Take 10 minutes to cut and put all the food into meals. That way you don&#8217;t have to get out the large dishes and plate things each and every time you want to eat something. They&#8217;ll be all set. Just grab and heat.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A few times a year I make the whole Thanksgiving Spread&#8230;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">it&#8217;s fun to have the meal without a timeline and stress of the exact holiday honestly. My family is happy to see the complete meals all made up ready to eat. This meal prep will have you dreaming of comfort food at its very best.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="font-size: 20px;">What you&#8217;ll need for 12 meals:</span></strong></span></h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>13 lb turkey- <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2014/11/how-to-roast-a-turkey-overnight.html" data-wpel-link="internal">Turkey cooking times/temps and more</a></li>



<li>5 lb mashed potato-<a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2021/03/instant-pot-mashed-potatoes.html" data-wpel-link="internal">Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, </a><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2017/11/slow-cooker-mashed-potatoes.html" data-wpel-link="internal">Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes</a></li>



<li>4 lb sweet potato- new recipe coming soon. Another fun recipe are these <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2019/11/twice-baked-sweet-potatoes.html" data-wpel-link="internal">Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes</a></li>



<li>1 lb<a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2020/11/french-bread-stuffing.html" data-wpel-link="internal"> french bread stuffing</a></li>



<li>2 lbs green beans (not shown) but I often saute them and add toasted almonds.</li>



<li>1 lb carrots in photos were sauteed in a pan, or try my <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2015/11/orange-glazed-carrots.html" data-wpel-link="internal">Glazed Carrot Recipe</a></li>



<li><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2015/11/6-homemade-cranberry-sauces.html" data-wpel-link="internal">1 lb cranberry sauce</a></li>



<li><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2017/11/great-gravy-every-time.html" data-wpel-link="internal">Gravy-</a>this is my make-ahead recipe, perfect every time!</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><span style="font-size: 20px;">What guests could bring to Thanksgiving-</span></strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When people ask what they can bring&#8230;take something off your plate that isn&#8217;t as important to you. Maybe it&#8217;s mashed potatoes (no matter who makes them they&#8217;re good, if they aren&#8217;t add more butter, maybe a pinch of salt, some heavy cream and re-whip them, only takes a minute)&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How about rolls? Have them buy and bring rolls and butter (Kerry gold butter in the tub is nice and spreadable). Or if they are ambitious, they can make homemade rolls. We&#8217;ve made homemade dinner rolls and bought the kind in the tube you bake, but more recently we&#8217;ve had Hawaiian sweet rolls, keeping that one item simple, and everyone loves them, and they make great mini sandwiches.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Drinks-</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wine, apple cider, sparkling or regular or make a batch of my <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2019/11/apple-sangria.html" data-wpel-link="internal">Apple Sangria it&#8217;s so delicious.</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2015/11/6-homemade-cranberry-sauces.html" data-wpel-link="internal">Cranberry sauce</a>, it&#8217;s easy to make here are 6 fun recipes, or have them bring a couple of cans.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>People like to feel like the item they are bringing is helping to contribute to the meal, since they aren&#8217;t doing the cooking. </strong>Let them know what would be appreciated!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Or, Let them know you have the meal covered, but look forward to them helping with the <strong>cleanup.</strong> Don&#8217;t forget to pickup some leftover containers to help you portion out meals for your fridge/freezer or for guests to take with them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Have them bring a pie (Costco has large pumpkin pies at an incredible price) If you are baking the <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2021/03/best-pie-recipes.html" data-wpel-link="internal">pies</a> be sure to add that to your list to do ahead of time. <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2021/03/best-pie-recipes.html" data-wpel-link="internal">Pies</a> are best when they have a chance to set up nicely.</p>

<p>Maple Glazed Ham is just one great item to serve with little effort&#8230; take a look.</p>
<p>I love buying a carving ham, there is no bone, no mess when cutting, and virtually no waist. Carving hams are thin flat cuts of meat that are easy to slice and still allow for plenty of room on your plate for all your favorite side dishes.&nbsp;<br /> When holidays roll around, carving hams make it easy.</p>
<p>I used to cook ham in the oven, but more recently I cut the ham in half, and slice it and then cook it, be it in the oven, wrapped in foil, or I place it in the pressure cooker (Instant Pot) you can also easily cook it in the slow cooker as well.</p>
<p>Most ham that we purchase are precooked, so they just need to be heated, large hams take a while, so I often cut mine into smaller pieces to heat it a little faster and so it doesn&#8217;t dry out.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don&#8217;t be shy when it comes to making new recipes&#8230; this cranberry curd tastes like pudding, and is the perfect topping for cake, cookies, and other baked goods like these <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2020/12/cranberry-banana-muffins.html" data-wpel-link="internal"><strong>Cranberry Banana Muffins</strong></a>!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I have used it as a side at Thanksgiving or Christmas, in place of traditional canned cranberry sauce. It’s a favorite and a crowd-pleaser.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s face the facts&#8230; sometimes the side dishes are the best part!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whether it&#8217;s Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter, delicious side dishes are always a good idea.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But don&#8217;t think twice about making some of these recipes on your weekly dinner menu as well, no need to. wait for holiday meals. I have something to go with whatever you may be serving. There is no reason not to enjoy these side dishes all year long.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;ve compiled a great list of recipes to choose from, from vegetables to potato favorites as well as what to do with leftovers from large meals. I&#8217;ve included some great main dish items as too.&nbsp;</p>

Line some cardboard boxes with a piece, the bottom of a cookie sheet with a piece, it&#8217;ll help keep things in place. If you keep it whole, just unroll it and lay in the trunk or wide expansive space of your SUV.</p>
<p>Another option is <strong><a href="https://amzn.to/2smYEY7" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">non-slip drawer liner</a></strong></p>
<p>Cardboard, flat or boxes, work well also to keep things from making a mess everywhere. Cookie sheets to transport trays of food are great too.</p>
<p>And if you regularly order take out to keep a small piece of rubber mat in your glove box to hold the bags still and even put some in the cup holders.&nbsp;</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re bringing a lot of liquids, this Gallon Mason Jar is great, we all know that canning jars seal great&#8230; it&#8217;s the only way I&#8217;d travel with drinks. I once had a gallon of orange Gatorade spill all over my car, and well&#8230; nothing gets out orange Gatorade. I tried for years! I was driving just down the street&#8230; what a mistake!</p>
<p>These types of gallon jars not only work well to travel with, they aren&#8217;t plastic so they don&#8217;t hold odors, they look nice even sitting on the decorated table to serve with and they are great to hold flowers in too, whether you&#8217;re traveling with them in water or not I use my gallon glass canning jars for everything.</p>
<p>Even this <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2019/11/apple-sangria.html" data-wpel-link="internal"><strong>Apple Cider Sangria</strong></a>.</p>

<li><strong>Crank up the air conditio<span style="color: #000000;">ning in the car so the food doesn&#8217;t get too hot!</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Place ice packs under any tray or item to keep it cold. This works great even when serving.&nbsp;</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Double up foil tins and place ice water in the bottom tin to keep the cold food in the top tin cold!</span></strong></li>

<p><a href="https://amzn.to/2QSvxWM" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer"><strong>Trunk Organizer- </strong></a>always good to be organized, but especially when you and everyone else in your family stuffs things in the trunk. Remember to add some water bottles, a pair of work gloves, maybe some jumper cables and a jacket just in case you need them!</p>

<p>These are my favorite<a href="https://amzn.to/33jQkFn" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer"><strong> GROCERY BAGS </strong></a>I use them for EVERYTHING!</p>
<p>I go shopping with them, they hold groceries well, they don&#8217;t spill over.</p>
<p>They are nice when going to someone&#8217;s home with items, they stay neat and intact. They hold a lot and are durable and I&#8217;ve had mine for two years. I have six of them. They&#8217;d make a great gift too!</p>
<p><a href="https://amzn.to/35FvXUm" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-23952" src="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/l-shaped-velcro-trunk-organizers-680x779.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="779" srcset="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/l-shaped-velcro-trunk-organizers-680x779.jpg 680w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/l-shaped-velcro-trunk-organizers-262x300.jpg 262w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/l-shaped-velcro-trunk-organizers.jpg 704w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I have these <a href="https://amzn.to/35FvXUm" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer"><strong>L-shaped organizers&nbsp;</strong> </a>In my trunk and I use them every day! They have velcro and stick to the carpet in the trunk area and are great for plants, food, moving, grocery shopping and hold all sorts of odd-shaped items in place Even coolers, I also use them to hold all my shopping bags in place against the side of the trunk area.</p>
<p>I have an SUV and with the third-row seats flat that area is huge and things can roll around or go flying across the trunk even when making a simple turn! I have two of them in each vehicle. Also a great gift for anyone who needs some help organizing their vehicles, who spends a lot of time in their car and has lots of stuff in the trunk, they will help keep it in place and organized well.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://amzn.to/2OqqfjM" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer"><strong>16 oz wide-mouth jars</strong></a>: If you have food you&#8217;ve made and are going to travel with it, it&#8217;s best to place it in jars, and put it in a dish when you arrive rather than put it in a bowl and plastic wrap on top, it won&#8217;t arrive well.</p>
<p>No one wants cranberry sauce sloshing all over the car&#8230; right!?!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I even have these &#8220;<a href="https://amzn.to/33ldURR" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer"><strong>jar jackets</strong> &#8220;</a>that are made of silicone and they allow you to hold the glass even if it has condensation all over it and it won&#8217;t slip out of your hand.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And these <strong><a href="https://amzn.to/2Olmr30" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">22-24 oz jars</a></strong> depending on the brand are great. I use them as large drinking glasses in my kitchen even! Great for leftovers, soup, stew and take up little space in the fridge, unlike other items that hold leftovers.</p>
<p>Great for <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2018/04/quick-pickled-vegetables.html" data-wpel-link="internal"><strong>pickling vegetables</strong></a> and also for traveling with food. Even a glass of hot chocolate!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget about your coolers, it may not be summer, but a cooler travels well and keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. I even use one to thaw my <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2014/11/how-to-roast-a-turkey-overnight.html" data-wpel-link="internal"><strong>Thanksgiving Turkey</strong> </a>every year.</p>

<p>Spring is in the air, the flowers are blooming and it&#8217;s time to celebrate one of the nicest times of the year.</p>
<p>Bunnies&#8230;. hippity hopping all over, coloring eggs and enjoying fun bunny treats are what kids and adults alike look forward to this time of year.</p>
<p>Since bunnies like carrots, they NATURALLY go well with all the delicious foods this time of year.</p>
<p>I always think back to Easter as a kid and that included coloring eggs, ham with potatoes, and some type of carrot dish and carrot cake for dessert. Sure, there were jello salads&#8230; I liked this <a href="https://dolesunshine.com/recipes/classic-pineapple-lime-mold" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer"><span style="color: #339966;">one. I happened to find a recipe online</span></a> for the one that most resembles what my mom made, but she used sour cream instead of marshmallows. Of course, there was jello salad, it was the 70&#8217;s after all!</p>
