To save more time, use a disposable roasting pan to help shorten cleanup. Save the time of peeling and coring a whole pineapple. Fresh pineapple is now available already peeled and cored. Be sure to purchase enough, so everyone has a slice. Bake fresh sweet potatoes rather than making the popular sweet potato-marshmallow casserole.
Sweet potatoes bake right on the oven rack, and there is no sticky casserole dish to clean up.
Some pumpkin pies don't have a crust. Just mix, pour, sprinkle and bake. It's not only easy, it's lower in fat and calories than a traditional pumpkin pie, too. But if time just doesn't allow for baking a pie this year, order one from a bakery or restaurant. If stuffing is a traditional dish you can't do without, use one of the many flavorful packaged stuffing mixes available.
