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: September 1 - September 7

Lobster Roll | Taste As You Go

Well, here it is... Labor Day Weekend and the unofficial end of summer. I hope you're all having a relaxing long weekend and are doing something to celebrate summer one last time. Stephen and I had some of our dearest friends and their kids over to the house yesterday for a "So Long to Summer" party, complete with bowls of creamy clam chowder, decadent and buttery lobster rolls, roasted corn-on-the-cob, and ice cream sandwiches for dessert. Our meal was unbelievable and I'm planning a blog post to tell you guys all about, so stay tuned!



For now, check our our shortened Menu Plan. Stephen and I are jetting off for vacation on Wednesday, so I don't have to worry too much about cooking this week. Ask me how happy I am about that. ;-)
