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: April 26 - May 2

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Caroline will be seven weeks old tomorrow. She's much more alert now and more aware of her surroundings. Because of this, I've started keeping her in the kitchen with me when I prepare dinner each night so I can narrate what I'm doing along the way. I describe the different ingredients to her and tell her about every tool and utensil that I'm using. Most of the time, she falls asleep in the middle of her cooking lessons, but I'd like to think that, one day, she'll be excited about helping me in the kitchen.

And, maybe... just maybe... she'll be eager to help me plan our meals each week.

A mother can dream, can't she?

Until then, I guess I'm on my own in the planning department. If you're curious to see what's on deck for dinner for us this week, then keep reading!
