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!

Love Is in the Air with Valentine's Day PEEPS® {and a Giveaway}

Share the love on February 14 with fun Valentine's Day PEEPS®!

Valentine's Day PEEPS® | Taste As You Go
Valentine's Day PEEPS®

I was provided samples of Valentine's Day PEEPS® at no cost to me. Just Born, Inc. has provided the products for this prize package giveaway; however, I will be shipping the prize directly to the winner. I did not accept monetary compensation for this post. All opinions expressed are my own.

In my lifetime, I've come across two groups of people -- those who love marshmallow PEEPS® and those who don't. I happen to belong to the former, as PEEPS® played a huge part in my family's Easter Sunday traditions year after year. But, like most things, PEEPS® have come a long way since I was a kid and now they've available for all sorts of occasions and holidays, including Valentine's Day!

[In case you were wondering, I prefer my PEEPS® stale 'cause that's how my father taught me to eat them.]
