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!

I'm sitting on a train, heading home to Connecticut for the Thanksgiving holiday (and long weekend), and my mouth is watering thinking about all of the food I'm about to consume in a few hours. To say that I'm excited about Thanksgiving dinner is an understatement. Every year, I say that I'm going to eat at least two plates of food, but then I usually get caught putting way too much food on the first plate and I get stuck at one. (Not including dessert, of course. There's always room for dessert.)

But what I'm really excited about is getting out of the city to spend time with my family. Of all of the "children," I'm the only one who lives outside of Connecticut, so it's a big deal for me to go home for an extended period of time. And, I'm always running at 150% in New York, so it'll do me a great deal of good to disconnect for a bit and relax. I'm thankful that getting home doesn't involve more than getting on a train.

I'm also thankful for each of my blog readers. I know I don't have the most popular food blog in the world (and I probably never will), but I love being able to share my recipes and reviews and my thoughts with you. Thank you for making blogging worthwhile!

Before I close, I want to remind everyone of my Share Our Strength pledge. Today, as we all prepare to sit down with family and friends to share a meal that has been lovingly prepared, give pause to think of those who may not be as fortunate.

Happy Thanksgiving!
