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!

Home Decor: Decorating with a Strawberry Theme (on a Small Budget)

Bowl of Fresh Strawberries Sprinkled with Vanilla Sugar | Taste As You Go

For those of you who don't already know this, I started writing about home decor on Taste As You Go a couple of weeks ago. My first post was about the Wild Tomato Vine Candle from KOBO Pure Soy Candles, and I received some really positive (and encouraging) emails from some readers in response. One of those readers even asked me for some help finding affordable kitchen pieces that would fit a strawberry theme.

I'm not one to turn down a challenge, so here's what I've come up with. Not surprisingly, most of the items are on Etsy... You can find just about anything there!
