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.

Well, folks, we made it to February. Normally, I'd express disbelief that another month has passed, but my eyes are fully focused on the future and I want August to hurry up and get here already. Especially now that I received confirmation that my wedding dress is in!

When Stephen and I first announced our engagement, several friends joked that I should have had a dress designed for me, one made entirely out of food. While I love food (obviously), I'm not adventurous enough to attempt something like that. Besides, with the summer heat, I wouldn't want to deal with worrying about my dress melting or wilting before I had a chance to walk down the aisle!

But they got me thinking... Can I have my food and wear it, too? After discovering these adorable pieces of jewelry featuring food-related items of all kinds on ModCloth (one of my favorite fashion websites), I've decided that the answer is YES!

Check out these sets I created on Polyvore of the necklaces, rings, and other things. You might even find a cute little Valentine's Day gift for your favorite foodie!
