Cheesy Mashed Cauliflower

One of my favorite ways to stress less for the holidays is to use as many crock pot as possible. I love not having to set up timers for getting things in and out of the oven. I talked to a friend who set up an excel spreadsheet to track which dishes went into the oven at specific times. This sounds like a complete nightmare to me.  I love making Crock Pot Thanksgiving Recipes as much as possible. It just makes life so much easier knowing that everything is cooking on its own.

I love this Crock Pot Turkey Curry Recipe for leftover turkey! It is so good!
