Who likes spending hours in the kitchen on a holiday? I sure don’t! There are a few simple steps you can take to cut back on time spent in the kitchen. Less time in the kitchen means more time to spend with family and or friends. When preparing recipes for your holiday meals, I recommend starting the day before. Items such as breads, rolls, casseroles and desserts can be prepped or made ahead of time to reduce your time in the kitchen. Many appetizers can be prepped the day before. Make your spinach dips, fillings and salads the day before. For easy cleanup, use disposable containers. Or better yet, clean as you use so you don’t end up with a pile of dishes in your sink. Less dishes means it’s less likely that you’ll have run in with the soap monster.

Soap Monster. Noun. A humongous mound of soap that grows from a pot or large bowl that is left sitting in your sink. The soap monster really exists. I’ve met him. True story.

After viewing these side dishes, you’ll find more holiday meal inspiration by visiting the links at the end of this post. We hope you enjoy this collection of holiday recipes.
