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: March 29 - April 4

Sharing our Menu Plan for March 29 - April 4, 2015

Breakfast at Blue Sky at The State - Easton, PA

Ever since Caroline was born, Stephen has assumed most of the dinner-related responsibilities, from calling in and picking up take-out orders to running to the grocery store and throwing together meals on the fly. Earlier this week, he mentioned how much he missed (and appreciated!) the menu planning I used to do. It eliminated the need to have the whole "what do you want for dinner?"conversation every night.

In order to decrease the number of phone calls we're making to restaurants and our reliance on carry-out cuisine, Stephen and I have made the grown-up decision to get back to cooking. That means a return to menu planning. Anything that will make the job easier, right?

If you're curious to see what's on deck for dinner for us this week, then keep reading!
