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: June 8 - June 14

After a much-needed break from menu-planning, I'm back today with this week's Menu Plan. Because of my schedule last week (a weekend work event leading directly into a last-minute trip to Connecticut), it didn't make much sense for me to go through the motions of planning meals. Especially since Stephen was also on the road.

But our respective calendars are clearing out and our lives are returning to normal, so it's back to business this week. Truth be told, I'm relieved to be settling back into our usual routine. Operating without a plan and relying on convenience food has taken its toll. I've already noticed a few extra pounds that weren't there a couple of weeks ago.

This week, I really wanted to focus on healthier and lighter meals wherever possible. Hopefully, this will lead to the creation of some tasty salads and salad dressings that I can share with all of you here.

Without further ado, here's our Menu Plan for the week!

Menu Plan: June 8 - June 14, 2014
