Make-ahead dishes for opening-up weekend
It’s opening-up season, when there are cottage chores to be done, and our readers want recipes that can be made ahead. It’s a good time to restock the pantry too; Cottage Life has a checklist to help you remember what you need.

A coleslaw that keeps well in the fridge. Ideal for quick snacks between the jobs on your list.

Make this meatloaf ahead and freeze it. You need a hearty lunch when you’re putting the boats in the water or getting the water systems up and running.
The classic soup that eats like a stew and gets better the second day.
