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: January 4 - January 10

You guys, I'm so proud of myself. It's the first Sunday of the new year and I actually have a menu plan to share with you. Normally I wouldn't be so giddy about planning out our dinners, but, considering Stephen will be leaving on a week-long, multi-city business trip soon, it is a big deal that I thoughtfully planned the meals I'd be making for myself.

This hardly ever happens, so let's just embrace the gesture for a few seconds.

Okay, I'm over it.

With me back at work full-time and looking at full-time Monty duty while Stephen's away, I'm not entirely sure how closely I'll follow the menu plan, but it's nice to have it in place regardless. Anything I can do to prevent the reemergence of pregnancy brain, right?

Keep reading to see what's on deck for dinner for us/me this week!
