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 case you haven't looked at your calendar yet, it's December 14th and there are only 11 more days until Christmas.

One could make the argument that it's a little late in the month to be sharing my Holiday Gift Guide, but as far as I'm concerned the Christmas shopping window is open until December 24th. So there's still plenty of time to scroll through my guide for some inspiration before hitting the mall or settling in for a marathon session of online shopping.

Since our household budget is always on my mind, I focused on items that cost $50 or less (just as I did last year) to prove that you don't have to spend tons of money to give a thoughtful gift to the favorite foodie(s) in your life. The guide features a mixture of items on my personal Wish List, "just for fun" items that I've spotted throughout the year, and some items that I wouldn't mind seeing Caroline playing with when she's older.
