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!

Country Bob's Cookbook

Earlier this week, I received an unexpected package in the mail from the folks at Country Bob's. The shape of the package was too flat, so I knew they didn't send me some more bottles of Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce so I could make some more meatloaf. When I opened it up, I found that Country Al, my fellow FoodBuzz foodie, had sent me another lovely gift -- a copy of Country's Bob's Cookbook!

The cookbook is divided into four sections: Appetizers, Soups, and Snacks; Grilling; Main Dishes; and Desserts. Yes, desserts! A quick peek at that section revealed that only two of the dessert recipes actually call for Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce -- the "Fruit Cocktail Cake" (page 88) and the "Incredible Fudge" (page 94). Most intriguing! I never would have thought to add a steak sauce-like ingredient in a sweet dessert.


I am quite honored to be the recipient of a complimentary copy of their very first cookbook. It not only offers a wonderful assortment of recipes (not all of which use Country Bob's products), but it also features some luscious photography. As I've just received the cookbook this week, I haven't had the opportunity to try any of the recipes yet, but as soon as I do, I'm sure you all will be the first to hear about it!
