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: April 27 - May 3

Sharing our Menu Plan for April 27 - May 3, 2014.

Puppy Dog Wearing Argyle

After a full week with us, our puppy Monty is starting to feel more comfortable in his new home, and Stephen and I are starting to feel more comfortable being puppy parents. We treated Monty to his first trip to the pet store last night so we could pick up a few things for him, including this smart argyle harness, perfectly appropriate given the preppy nature of his full name (Montclair).

Growing up, my family always had cats, so I didn't have first-hand knowledge of what it was like to have a dog in the house. I think it's safe to say that I'm absolutely smitten.

The fact that he loves to cuddle doesn't hurt. I love it when he nuzzles himself next to me for a nap when I'm sitting on the couch and when he jumps into my lap for some cozy time when I'm working at my desk.

Okay, I'll stop talking about the dog now so I can share our Menu Plan for the week. It's a short one this time since Stephen and I are heading to Boston for our annual trip to celebrate my birthday. Due to the Red Sox game schedule, we'll be there a week before I actually turn 34(!), but I think it still counts since I generally celebrate my birthday for the entire month of May. ;-)

Menu Plan: April 27 - May 3, 2014

 Sunday: Spaghetti with Tomato Basil Marinara

Monday: Panko-Crusted Salmon with Buttered Egg Noodles and Broccoli

Tuesday: Drinks/Dinner Out

Wednesday: Stephen's Choice

Thursday - Saturday: Connecticut/Boston
