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!

Preview of Weeknights with Giada: Chicken with Tarragon and White Wine

I was provided access to this recipe and this photo through communications from a PR firm. I did not accept monetary compensation for writing about Giada De Laurentiis' new cookbook or about the recipe. All opinions expressed are my own.

Believe it or not, Giada De Laurentiis has released another cookbook. Available for purchase online and in stores as of yesterday, Weeknights with Giada offers "quick and simple recipes to revamp dinner".

Given my hectic commuting schedule (and lack of energy upon arrival at home), I'm thinking I need to pick up a copy of this immediately. It might save Stephen and me from sending the "What do you want for dinner tonight?" text messages while I'm on the bus back from New York!

In an interview with Target, Giada mentions that her recipe for Chicken with Tarragon and White Wine makes great leftovers. Music to our ears, right?

This is just one of the recipes included in Weeknights with Giada. Amy Neunsinger has captured a stunning photo of the finished dish -- proof that a weeknight meal can be both simple and elegant.

You, dear readers, are lucky. Today, you get to preview Giada's new cookbook and get your hands on her recipe for Chicken with Tarragon and White Wine.

Looks delicious, doesn't it? I think I want Stephen to make this for me the next time it's his turn to cook.

HINT. HINT.
