select dishes that could all be made the day before.\u00c2\u00a0 The potatoes reheat wonderfully, the waffles can be made ahead of time and popped in the toaster during Brunch, and all of the dips and salads will be prepared on Saturday.\u00c2\u00a0 Looking forward to this year&#8217;s menu!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
