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!

In years past, the Holiday Gift Guides I've put together for Taste As You Go have included an assortment of items appropriate for a range of budgets. As I began planning for this year's guide, I decided to only focus on items that cost $50 or less... probably because Stephen and I are really tightening our belts this Christmas since we're expecting our first child in just a few short months.

However, the act of gift-giving isn't about how much you spend. It's about showing gratitude to the people who mean the most to you. And, while I'm seriously considering giving homemade/handmade gifts this year, I still wanted to put together my 2014 Holiday Gift Guide for Food Lovers in case any of you are looking for the perfect gift to give the favorite foodie in your life.

The guide features a mixture of items on my personal Wish List and items that I've spotted throughout the year that I thought just looked like fun. Interested to see what I've selected? Keep reading to get all the details!
