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: July 8 - July 13

Strawberry Gelato from Gelateria Toscano in Pienza, Italy | Taste As You Go

If I could eat gelato for dinner every night, then I would. Dinner would be on the table in no time. I wouldn't have to worry about leftovers. And, with endless flavor combinations, the variety would still be there. Especially if you factor in cones and waffle bowls every now and then.

Life would be grand.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how supportive Stephen would be of this idea. Until I can convince him that the All-Gelato-All-the-Time plan is the way to go, it looks like I'll be sticking to a more traditional dinner routine.

You guys know that I'm always looking for inspiration when it comes to planning our meals. So, when I received a review copy of The Leafy Greens Cookbook by Kathryn Anible in the mail, I thought it would be fun to fill this week's Menu Plan with some of her dishes.

What better way to try out new recipes, right?
