Please help...? about cooking for Thanksgiving in advance...

Can I make the following sides on Wednesday?

-Mashed potatoes
-Sweet potato casserole (I can bake/do the marshmallows on Thurs)
-Stuffing (thats not going in the bird)

If so, how do I heat it all up? The sweet potatoes I'll have to bake anyway but do I just throw the mashed potatoes and stuffing in the oven? How far in advance and what temp?

TIA!

I just saw this recipe. It looks good and it says it can be made up to 3 days ahead of time

I make my stuffing the day before, and the only thing I do with it on Thanksgiving day is put it in the oven to get hot while the turkey is out resting before being carved.

I make my mashed potatos the day of only because I can't use butter or milk/cream in them so they tend to dry out if I make them ahead of time.

The sweet potatos you can totally do ahead of time as well.

I'm 7 months pregnant and hosting Thanksgiving for 26 people (I know, I'm nuts), but all my prep is being done ahead of time so I'm not on my feet all day Thursday.

you can make the food in aluminum pans. & keep it in the fridge . wen you want to warm them up just put in the oven, this is what i do when i have to make food ahead of time hth

I make the sweet potatoes and stuffing the day before but not the mashed. I make the broccoli and cheese cassarole the day before also and i prepare the stuffed mushrooms and set them on baking trays the day before but i dont bake them till the day of. I also cut up all my cheeses and make the dips the day before. SO much easier. I just put the cheese in baggies.
