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!

Menu Plan: July 28 - August 3

Gelato in Tuscany | Taste As You Go

Stephen brought home some fresh peaches from our local orchard earlier this week. We both love peaches and were looking forward to enjoy the fruit as a snack or dessert over the next few days. Unfortunately, the fruit started to ripen faster than we could eat it, so I took the remaining peaches and pureed them with simple syrup in order to make peach sorbet. The peach mixture is chilling in the refrigerator right now and will go into the ice cream maker in a couple of hours. Needless to say, I can't wait until after dinner so I can taste my first homemade sorbet!


And, speaking of dinner... here's the Menu Plan for the week!
