What can you really freeze ?

i am trying to get a jump on thanksgiving. i haven't been feeling great and am trying to make ahead as much as poss...

cauliflower gratin

green bean casserole (my first time)

oyster stuffing

traditional sausage stuffing

do think i can make any of these tomorrow and freeze without lose of texture...i have always just made the day before and reheated but may not have that luxury this year

Cooked meat freezes quite well. The stuffing will freeze very well. The Greenbean casserole not so well IMO

Honestly - if you have a big block of frozen casserole or the like you are going to have defrosting time and issues with evenly reheating if not fully thawed. Thye will take at least a day to freeze and maybe more than a day to thaw so you are only buying a day or two. If your fridge is very cold you you could even make them tomorrow and hold to Thursday. I use a sort of 5 day rule but my fridge is just above freezing so things seem to last longer with no taste loss.

if i make gratin stuff today (sunday) and it keeps till thursday..will i still be able to use for leftovers during the thanksgiving weekend....these are probably basic questions but i have always had the fridge freezer space n time to do the day of
