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!

Are You Going to the New York City Wine & Food Festival?

Tickets to the Food Network
New York City Wine & Food Festival

Buitoni has provided me with tickets to attend the three aforementioned events at the 2011 Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival. They have also provided the prize for this giveaway. I did not accept monetary compensation for this opportunity. All opinions expressed are my own.

Forgive me.

I realize that I'm announcing the winner of the tickets to San Pellegrino's Meatball Madness event, presented by Buitoni and hosted by Giada De Laurentiis, at the New York City Food & Wine Festival a little late, but I was out for most of the day, enjoying the homecoming football game at Lehigh University and all that such an occasion entails (tailgates, marching with the alumni band, watching the game, and post-game tailgates).

Let's not waste any more time and cut right to the chase!



Congratulations to Lisa from Jersey Girl Cooks for her winning entry!

"I love Buitoni's fresh pasta. They make a great quick week night dinner."

I will be emailing you soon so we can arrange the delivery of your tickets. I hope our paths will cross at the event so I can congratulate you in person!

Thanks to everyone who entered and to those who offered well-wishes with regard to my partnership with Buitoni, the official pasta sponsor of the festival. I'm so excited to be working with them and can't wait to report in about everything I see (and taste). Be sure to look for my tweets and to come back and read all about about my time at the Meatball Madness event and the two Grand Tasting events!

PS. In case you were wondering, Lehigh defeated Liberty, 27-24. Go Engineers!
