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!

I received an email not too long ago from a reader who wanted to know where I purchased the polka dot tea towel that I used in the photos for my Raspberry Lime Spritzers post. After I let her know that I picked it up at T.J. Maxx (along with several other tea towels!), we got into a discussion about kitchen accessories featuring a polka dot design. Apparently, she loves polka dots and is always looking for new accessories to add to her collection.

Our discussion inspired me to put together this fun round-up of polka dot-themed items that might look good displayed in her -- or any other! -- kitchen.

After doing a little bit of research, here are the items that I found that are available online. And, to keep things on the affordable side, I've only included items that cost $100 or less.
