In addition to the Hefty environmental-friendly plates, I also love these products:

Checkered Serving Boards: I used this checkered chopping board, which I use for prep, serving, and decor! For a more affordable version, Temu also has this Checkered Chopping Board that comes in various sizes and is so handy for prep, serving, and decor! I use mine all the time!

Holiday Links: I get asked all the time about my favorite kitchen decor for the holidays, so I linked my favorites for you!

• The illuminated Christmas Village Cookie Jar is from Mac-Kenzie Childs. For a less-expensive option, I also love her Gingerbread House Cookie Jar.
• For another adorable cookie jar, I also adore this Gingerbread House and Gingerbread Man Platter (both from Pottery Barn.)
• The Nutcracker Cookie Jar is from Mac-Kenzie-Childs (and makes a great gift!) My checkered rug is also MacKenzie-Childs.
• I also love my Candle Warming Lamp for jar candles as a flameless option for scented candles!
• If you’re looking for a Christmas sign, I love my adorable red Santa’s Bakery sign from Etsy!

Can I Prep This Sweet Potato Casserole in Advance?

Yes! You can get everything prepped right before the baking step up to two days in advance. Just cover tightly with Saran Wrap and store in the refrigerator. This is best served warm!

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftover Sweet Potato Casserole, transfer to a Tupperware container and keep in the fridge. To reheat, microwave for 30-second intervals until your preferred heat is reached.
