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 30 - July 6

Orchid Centerpiece | Taste As You Go

The last few weeks of menu planning have been tough for me. I've been feeling uninspired and unmotivated, and I found myself waiting until the last possible minute to pull something together. In attempt to snap out of my menu-planning funk and refocus my efforts, I gave myself a firm deadline and actually managed to finish this week's Menu Plan with minimal procrastination.


Since Stephen and I are in Connecticut visiting my family this weekend, I was saved from the task of coming up with ideas for Sunday's dinner. I'm actually pretty excited that we'll be revisiting some meals that I haven't prepared in a while, and I'm hoping this means I've turned a corner. Menu planning would be so much easier to handle if I were [somewhat] excited about it.

Menu Plan: June 30 - July 6, 2013
