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!

Is anyone else sick of this rainy weather? Looking out the window at the hazy gray sky makes me long for the moments of sunshine that I got to enjoy while on vacation in Fort Lauderdale last week.

Now that's what I should be seeing when I look out my window - mostly clear blue skies and sunshine. (Seeing palm trees would also be preferable to row after row of buildings, but palm trees in New York wouldn't really make much sense.)

In order to lift my mood and to stay focused on the fact that the official start to summer is just around the corner, I thought it would be the perfect time to host another giveaway. What's the prize this time? A Free 60-Day Premium Membership to Zagat.com!

In my opinion, the premium membership fees for Zagat.com are very reasonable. The annual membership fee is only $24.95 while the 30-day membership fee is only $4.95. But, if you're like me, you might not want to shell out even $4.95 in fees when you have the opportunity to try out the service for FREE.

Here's what you'll get access to with your premium membership:
  • Over 40,000 ZAGAT Ratings and Reviews for Restaurants, Nightspots, Hotels, and Attractions worldwide
  • Ratings and Reviews on your mobile phone at ZAGAT.mobi
  • Savings up to 25% in the Zagat.com online store

This premium membership may come in handy if you're planning on doing any traveling over the summer months.
