What are some dinner party dishes I can cook in advance?

Answer by  ashleightindall (32)

Dips, cakes, cookies, veggie/fruit trays can all be made in advance and refridgerated until the party. Casseroles are great for making and freezing-- simply bake before the party starts. Breads, biscuits, and rolls can also be baked ahead of time and frozen. "Crock-pot" meals are also great choices!

BBQ beef or pork in a crockpot can be cooked in advance. Put a pork or beef roast in the crockpot with some bbq sauce and let it slow cook for eight hours. When it is done, shred it, put it in big baggies and refrigerate. Heat and serve.

The easiest are crock-pot meals. You can make minestrone soup 6-8 hours before the party. Another idea is zucchini gratin, it can be reheated several times.
