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!

White Pizza with Fresh Arugula and Prosciutto {and a Big Announcement}

This recipe for White Pizza with Fresh Arugula and Prosciutto originally appeared on Taste As You Go in 2014. It appears here with slight modifications and updated photos.

As I'm typing this, a slight breeze is billowing in through the open window of our living room. Our dog is laying next to me on the couch, and classical music is playing in the background. After an unexpected break from blogging (more on that in a minute), it feels great to be writing again.

I had intended to write more often this month. But Stephen has been traveling a lot for work recently, and I needed wanted to focus my attention on other things. Like lobster rolls and trips to the farm and spending time with friends.

But the main reason why I haven't been writing lately is that things are about to change around here... BIG TIME.

I'M GOING BACK TO WORK!

I know that transitioning from being my own boss to being a full-time worker bee again won't be easy. Especially since making that transition involves putting Caroline into daycare and not having her nearby. But, in spite of the necessary emotional adjustments, I'm excited to begin this next chapter. And I can't wait to see what lies ahead!

Of course, I have no idea what my new job situation means for the blog. I'm torn between writing even fewer posts per month (is that even possible?) and creating a new content calendar so I can stick to a schedule.

All I know is I'm not ready to stop blogging yet. I still have so many things I want to share with you. (I have the backlog of posts to prove it!)

So, I hope you stick with me while I figure it out. I mean... You've held on for this long, right?

White Pizza with Fresh Arugula and Prosciutto | Taste As You Go

For now, here's an updated version of one of my favorite pizzas. I like to add this White Pizza with Fresh Arugula and Prosciutto to the rotation every now and then just to change things up. It's a little lighter than our usual suspects and it pairs [really] well with a glass of crisp white wine.

I think these new photos do a much better job of showing off the simplicity of the pizza. In fact, they're inspiring me to add this pizza to our menu plan again soon.

I hope you give it a try!
