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!

Menu Plan: April 21 - April 27

When I returned from my trip to Napa, I wasn't terribly motivated to plan a week's worth of meals. I wanted to cling to the memories of the amazing food I ate while in California rather than comb my cookbooks for inspiration. The week off was nice, but it's time to get back to business!



Menu Plan: April 21 - April 27


Sunday: Orzo with Butter, Peas, and Parmesan
Monday: Linguine with Butter, Pecorino, Arugula, and Black Pepper from Everyday Pasta
Tuesday: Chorizo with Onions and Peppers over White Rice
Wednesday: Stephen's Choice
Thursday: Spinach and Gruyere Quiche with Mixed Greens
Friday: Pizza with Spinach and Ricotta
Saturday: Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
