Get the latest Makeahead recipes from Group Recipes. http://www.grouprecipes.com/tag/makeahead From the 1999 Woman's Day X-mas edition, these are, hands down, my one must have X-mas cookie. They are so beautiful & provide such a pretty contrast when piled on a plate with a variety of X-mas cookies.They can be stored airtight up to 4 days at room temp. or frozen for 2 months in freezer. Hint: These are perfect in spring or summer, served with a scoop of granita, lemon ice, or light sherbet. http://www.grouprecipes.com/63830/fancy-orange-slice-cookies.html I love this if I have overnight guests. Makes breakfast so much simpler this way.I simplify prep by buying Italian sausage in bulk when it is on sale and then removing it from the casings and frying them up. I then chop them finer and put them into serving sizes and into the freezer. http://www.grouprecipes.com/61123/brunch-strata.html This meal-in-one takes time to assemble then store and bake later. It's good enough for company, delicious flavors! This was my all time favorite for chicken. (haven't tried converting this one to tofu yet _ UGH) http://www.grouprecipes.com/61028/my-all-time-favorite-chicken-casserole.html This bacon wrapped chicken was a big hit back in West Virginia. It's easy prepared a day ahead. Just bring to room temperature before baking the next day. http://www.grouprecipes.com/60956/jeans-chicken-vesuois.html The combination of kohlrabi, daikon, carrots, and wasabi makes this the perfect accompaniment to a small dish of jasmine rice. http://www.grouprecipes.com/59287/kohlrabi-slaw.html I love breakfast or brunch egg dishes that can be made the night before, ready the next morning to pop in the oven and serve fresh and hot to family and friends. I just tried this recipe today for Father’s Day, and we enjoyed it very much. I like using French bread (I think if holds up so well in the egg soak), and ham and gruyere are always a favorite of mine. So this combination, with the addition of the sautéed leeks and fresh garlic, was a winner for us. I found the recipe in a grocer’s produce department - I’m sure glad I picked that one up! http://www.grouprecipes.com/58555/leek-ham-gruyere-brunch-casserole.html I got this from our "Apples of Gold" ladies group at church. It's from Deanna House's "House Specialties" I changed it up a bit for my tatses. My family loves it. It only serves 5 at my house!! This can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight. http://www.grouprecipes.com/58331/hash-browns-au-gratin.html A tasty way to cool off!! 2.5 c of rum or vodka can be substituted for 2.5 c of the carbonated water. Needs to freeze/chill 3-5 hours. http://www.grouprecipes.com/57869/dog-days-of-summer-4-fruit-slush.html This is one of my all time favorite party dips to make-ahead, it's delicious! And -- I garontee there won't be any of this left after the party! Thank you, Justin Wilson! http://www.grouprecipes.com/56899/justin-wilsons-shrimp-dip.html A "Favorite Recipe" winner from Houston Chronicle in 1992. My family BEGS for this dish...It's time consuming (for me - I'm lazy) so I don't make it often. Speaking of lazy - heated Mrs. Renfros Jalepeno Green Chile sauce will work instead of tomatillo sauce - but it's just not the same. http://www.grouprecipes.com/56603/tomatillo-chicken-enchiladas.html
