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!

A Month of Dinners: Menu Plan for March

In an attempt to make my life a little easier, I'm planning all of our dinners for March at once.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm feeling pretty grateful for the extra day this month.

In between multiple visits to the pediatrician's office, runs to the library for more books for our budding bookworm, and Sunday selfies, I've been spending practically every spare minute working. It's been an exhausting existence, so I'm looking forward to using the Leap Day to sit back and breathe a bit.

Especially since March is shaping up to be just as busy.

It's times like these that I'm so happy I made the switch from weekly menu plans to monthly ones.
