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: January 19 - January 25

Sharing our Menu Plan for January 19 - January 25, 2014

Fall in the Lehigh Valley | Taste As You Go

We're more than halfway through the month of January and I'm in desperate need of some color. To give myself a color fix, I'm sharing this photo I posted on Instagram this past fall. This tree stands outside my office, and I stopped to take this picture of it when the leaves were bursting in vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows.


Just looking at the photo makes me feel better, more alive, which is good because I need every ounce of energy I have to get through the coming week. I've got multiple meetings and conference calls and project deadlines ahead of me, so I'll take any help I can get!

I have a Menu Plan sketched out for the week, but given the amount of work I have to do, I won't be surprised if I just phone it in and order take-out. Especially since I'll be cooking for only myself until Stephen comes home from his business trip.

How many nights do you think I'll actually cook? ;-)
