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 19 - March 25

Sharing our Menu Plan for March 19 - March 25.

Last Sunday, I pointed out that I hadn't written about anything but our menu plans for the past three weeks. Facing that fact did something to me. It motivated me to share a new soup recipe. And, because I'm definitely in the middle of the baking stage of my pregnancy, it also inspired me to get back into our kitchen to create something that wasn't out of necessity (see here and here).

You'd think pushing myself like that would have exhausted me, but it did the exact opposite. It exhilarated me! I even took the time to take photos of the things I baked so I can share those recipes with you down the road... You know, eventually... ;-)

For now, though, let's concentrate on our menu plan. Here's what's on deck for dinner at our house this week!
