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!

It's finally here -- Birthday Week!

On Friday, my husband and I will be heading off to celebrate in traditional fashion:

Boston + Baseball = Birthday Fun

We'll be taking in the Red Sox game at Fenway Park on Friday night, and I'm all ready with my Jason Varitek t-shirt. Since I'm turning 33 on Saturday, I'm planning on wearing the former captain's number to the game. Needless to say, I can't wait to be back in my favorite city!

Because of our trip, I really only have to worry about planning a handful of dinners this week. I'm fairly certainly we'll be eating at the ballpark on Friday night, and my husband can buy me dinner on Saturday. It's the least he can do, right? ;-)

Menu Plan: May 5 - May 11

 Sunday: Spinach and Gruyere Quiche with Simple Home Fries
Monday: Creamy Parmesan Risotto with Roasted Shrimp and Peas
Tuesday: VIP Preview Party at Rodizio Grill
Wednesday: Taco Night
Thursday: Stephen's Choice
Friday - Saturday: Birthday Festivities in Boston

As if turning 33 weren't big enough news, I'm also planning a fun non-food-related giveaway for you guys this week, so be sure to check back to find out all the details!

I'm the boss around here, so I say it's perfectly okay to stray away from food every now and then to keep things interesting. I'm not going to tell you what the prize is just yet, but if you like to exercise and/or work out, then this giveaway is the one for you!

In the meantime, leave a comment and let me know what's on your menu plan. I'd love to see what you're all planning on making for dinner this week!
