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: April 21 - April 26

Sharing our Menu Plan for April 21-26, 2014

Easter Sunday | Taste As You Go

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, then you've likely already heard the news that Stephen and I got a puppy over the holiday weekend! His full name is Montclair Utley Rittler, but we call him "Monty" for short. You can practically feel how happy we are about having this sweet little addition to our family in this photo we took with him before leaving for church on Easter Sunday.

(By the way, it is extremely difficult getting a puppy to look at a camera long enough to take one photo let alone one "for safety"... We'll work on it!)

Besides spending time with both of our families this past weekend, Stephen and I had our hands full with making Monty's initial transition to his new home a smooth one. There's been plenty of cuddling and play time since he got here, and I think it's safe to say that Monty is just as happy to be a part of our family as we are to have him here.

Or course, all of this excitement related to Easter and to getting a new dog has somewhat affected my blogging schedule, but, since I wasn't planning on cooking anything for Easter dinner this year, I figured you guys wouldn't be too upset if I posted this week's Menu Plan a little late. ;-)

Menu Plan: April 21 - April 26, 2014

Monday: Spicy Sesame Noodles

Tuesday: Drinks/Dinner Out

I'll be meeting up with a girlfriend for drinks and dinner after work, so Stephen's on his own for dinner.

Wednesday: Tomato, Fresh Mozzarella, and Avocado on Baguettes with Olive Oil and Sea Salt

Thursday: Stephen's Choice

Friday: Pizza with Italian Sausage, Broccoli Rabe, and Caramelized Onions

Saturday: Pasta with Cauliflower and Bacon for Two from Cooks Illustrated
