Recipes for Making Ahead for 2-3 Hours Without a Chillzane or Tote

In summary, our make-ahead recipes are designed to be easily stored in regular airtight containers or plastic bags without the need for special storage containers like Chillzanes or Totes. It is recommended to not leave the prepared food out for more than 2-3 hours before serving for safety and quality reasons. Most of our make-ahead recipes can be frozen and reheated, but it is important to follow proper guidelines for each specific recipe. Some ingredients, such as fresh herbs and delicate greens, may not hold up well when made ahead of time and should be added right before serving for optimal texture and flavor.

Okay, so I haven't tried any of the new recipes yet, so for those of you that have...which ones do you think would be good to make ahead? I'm thinking like 2-3 hours. I have to travel for a meeting that is 2 hours away and I volunteered to bring a dish. I don't have a Chillzane, or an insulated tote, so I'm feeling a bit limited...
 
It was new last season, but it's in the new SBRC, too - Piña Colada Upside-Down Cake. YUM!!And I haven't tried it yet, but I bet the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Torte is still good after a couple hours. It says to serve immediately, but I bet that's just so that the filling doesn't soak into the cake too much.Tiramisu Brownie Trifle would be good after sitting, too.
 
Satay Chicken Pasta Salad from the new SBRC. I'm not sure if it was intended to be served cold, but that is how we ate it for dinner tonight. I had to make it before my son's lacrosse game so we could eat when we got home. I mixed it all together and placed it in the frig. It was very good and very easy to make. It took between 30 and 40 minutes. If I had started with fresh chicken breasts instead of frozen, it would have taken closer to 30 minutes or even less.
