2024 Thanksgiving Menu and Meal Prep Timeline

* image These past few months have been busy for our family, especially since our oldest joined a local swim team. Between juggling our work schedules and balancing school with practices... we're all pretty wiped out. Although it's a lot of work, I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving. Preparing the holiday meal for our family fills my heart with joy, and I can't wait to get started. To make things easier for me, I don't deviate much from  our first Thanksgiving  as a family. The dishes I make are familiar ones, and the recipes for them live at my fingertips. Keeping the same menu year after year means I don't have to spend time researching recipes or planning a new one. Here are my tried-and-true Thanksgiving recipes, as well as my prep timeline for the big day!

National Donut Day

Mark your calendars, everyone! This Friday, June 5, is National Donut Day! According to the Wikipedia article, the holiday started in 1938 "as a fund raiser for the Chicago Salvation Army" whose "goal was to help the needy during the Great Depression, and to honor the Salvation Army 'Lassies' of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers behind the front lines in France." (Hmm... you learn something new every day...)

In honor of National Donut Day, held the first Friday each June, of participating Dunkin' Donuts locations will be giving every customer a FREE DONUT of their choice with the purchase of any beverage (limit one per person)! Dunkin' Donuts will also be announcing the winner of their "Create Dunkin's Next Donut" contest, which received nearly 130,000 entries submitted online. (My boyfriend and I considered submitting an entry that combined a chocolate donut with maple frosting and bacon-flavored sprinkles. Unfortunately, those options weren't available to us from the choices given in the contest. Damn.)

Anyway, the news about this promotion makes this Dunkin' Donuts girl very, very happy. So, don't forget to stop by your local DD on Friday and pick up your FREE DONUT!

Do you run on Dunkin'?
