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: June 3 - June 8

The last month or so has been a blur. Stephen and I (especially Stephen) have been working ourselves ragged, and we've each spent three of the last four weekends traveling (though, not necessarily together). Because of that, we gave ourselves a much-needed break yesterday by sleeping in, enjoying a leisurely brunch, and spending time with family. To tie in with the theme of the day, we decided to have dessert at one of our favorite local ice cream spots before going through the motions of cooking dinner.

It was a good day.


But, now it's Monday, and it's time to get back to work.

Stephen goes on the road again tomorrow, so I'll be cooking for one for the rest of the week. I was going to scrap menu-planning and just cook and eat on a whim, but I was worried that even the shortest hiatus would pull me off my established routine. Even if I don't follow the plan to the letter, I'll at least have some ideas to work with should I find myself uninspired.

Here's what I've come up with:

Menu Plan: June 3 - June 8, 2013

 Monday: Panko-Crusted Salmon with Steamed Broccoli and Buttered Egg Noodles
Tuesday: Grilled Italian Sausage with Sauteed Bell Peppers and Onions
Wednesday: Caprese Salad with Toasted Baguette Slices
Thursday: Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, and Tomato Sandwiches
Friday: Broccoli and Mushroom Pizza
Saturday: Leftovers
