My wife loves the rolls her mom makes, but she didn’t have the energy or time to make them this year, so we just bought the Pillsbury crescent rolls.
We also normally just buy a couple pies you can stick in the oven.
We made mashed potatoes from scratch, but that’s another one where you can make it easier on yourself.
You can also buy some ingredients that are pre-cut/minced/prepped. You can decide not to make certain dishes if they’re less popular.
There’s no shortage of shortcuts you can take for meal prep.
