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!

As much as I've come to love and appreciate my still-very-new-role as mother, there's something else I've come to love and appreciate -- the fleeting moments in which snippets of our former life as "just the two of us" reemerge. During a time when 99.99% of my energy goes toward caring for our daughter, it's nice to have reminders of a time when my energy was split between growing my list of clients and embracing my role as wife.

Before Caroline came along, Stephen and I looked forward to Friday nights because they meant homemade pizza, a round of G&Ts, and catching up on all of the TV we had missed during the week. While we've successfully managed to get back to the tradition of making pizza for dinner at Friday nights, we haven't quite gotten back to unwinding over cocktails and clearing the DVR. But I have no doubt that we will... Just as soon as Caroline learns how not to start fussing the second I put a bite of food to my lips. ;-)

To see what dinners Caroline is bound to interrupt this week, including our choice for Pizza Night, then keep reading!
