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 5 - October 11

I took this picture of Monty last weekend as Stephen and I were loading the car for tailgates. Turns out, our dog was really disappointed when we told him that we weren't planning on taking him with us. (He doesn't do crowds very well, and the idea of leaving him in the car while we went into the stadium to watch the game was simply unacceptable.)

This weekend, however, we'll be taking Monty over to our local Oktoberfest celebration for his debut in the dachshund races. Right now, our champion is snoozing in his favorite sun spot in the living room, hopefully dreaming about capturing top honors later this afternoon.

Before we head out, though, I want to share our Menu Plan (something I actually planned out more than a week ago!). Are you ready to see what's on deck for dinner for us this week?
