 Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just around the corner? It’s definitely time to start planning menu items whether you’re hosting or bringing a dish as a guest. As part of my commitment this year to make hosting a more enjoyable process, I am planning on making several dishes in advance. I want to be able to enjoy my company – not resent them!

 In an effort to come up with a dish that wouldn’t require a lot of hands on attention while my guests are here I decided to go with a Loaded Mashed Potato Bake. Creamy and delicious – your guests will have no clue that this dish was made ahead of time.
