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: October 26 - November 1

Sharing our Menu Plan for October 26 - November 1, 2014

I don't know what the weather has been like this weekend where you live, but it has been the absolute perfect fall weekend here in the Lehigh Valley. Stephen and I spent the day yesterday at the Lehigh football game, tailgating and partaking in our annual tradition of marching and performing with Lehigh's Alumni Band. It's always fun being able to reunite with old friends and relive our marching band days, especially for Stephen, who spent three years leading the band as the drum major during his year's at Lehigh.

Unfortunately, we're not as young as we once were and we're both a little sore today. Especially me, who probably overdid it... I had a horrible night's sleep last night (back and hip pain), and today isn't much better. I finally resorted to taking some Tylenol, and I'm finally starting to feel some relief.

Because it hurts to move around, I'm grateful that we have a refrigerator full of leftovers that we can pick on for dinner tonight. So much easier than cooking a full meal!

While I won't be cooking dinner tonight, I do plan on cooking later on... so are you ready to see what's on deck for dinner for us for the rest of the week?
