momof5plus1hubby Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I usually start the night before...I bake the pumpkin pies and make the potatoe and bread filling. So that way I can just throw it in the oven and watch the parade LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms_mckenna Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Depends on what I am going to cook and who all is coming over. If DH does not fry a turkey I put the turkey on that night. I will make a cherry cream pie the night before too. Occasionally I will make the casseroles so I just have to pop them in the oven the next day.

ccarson1972 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I usually make all my desserts(pies, pumpkin roll, etc.) the night before. I also cut up the celery and onions and tear up the bread for the stuffing the night before. Then around 9ish in the morning I prepare the stuffing, clean the turkey, stuff it, and pop it in the oven. Throughout the day I start getting side dishes ready to be cooked.

Firemansgal311 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I start a day maybe 2 ahead. If I am making alot which looks like I will be this year it'll probably begin Tuesday evening. I think I am making potato salad, mashed potatoes, gravy, 4 or 5 pies, and a trifle. I think I am going to be cooking for about 25 ppl. Sil is making roasting hens, mil is making ham, sil's father is making a fried turkey. So whatever else is to be made looks like I am going to be the one making it all. So the list will probably grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
