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 12 - March 18

Sharing our Menu Plan for March 12 - March 18.

Well, one of the things I feared about switching back to a weekly menu plan format has happened. For the third week in a row, the only thing I have blogged about is our menu plan. Despite intentions to share more, that didn't happen.

Family needs, late nights of work, pregnancy exhaustion, and a little girl's second birthday... they all came first. Are those acceptable excuses for dropping the ball on blogging more often?

It's not that I don't have more to share with you -- I do! When I figure out where I can make time for writing, then I'll do it. And when I publish a blog post about something other than a menu plan, then I'll announce it. For now, I'm grateful for your patience... You've giving me more leeway than I'm willing to give myself.

Before I run out of uninterrupted time (someone's down for her nap right now), here's what's on deck for dinner this week.
