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!

We've had a rainy start to the weekend, and I'm totally okay with that. Rain gives you the perfect excuse for staying in your pajamas, hunkering down inside, and slowing everything down. And since this past week has been both hectic and quiet (more on that in a later post), I'm relishing the opportunity to focus on the things I don't normally have time to do. Like reading and writing new blog posts!

Here are some of the things that have captured my attention since last weekend.

  1. I doubt this news will prevent me from eating French fries (or other forms of fried potatoes).
  2. Despite having family favorites on standby, it's always a good thing to have new sources of inspiration for Pizza Night.
  3. We're years away from this issue, but I have to wonder... Where do you draw the line between being an involved parent and being a helicopter parent?
  4. I like to think of myself as a financially responsible person. That doesn't mean I can't pick up some new tips and tricks for managing my money every now and then. 
  5. I've had this book on the Kindle app on my phone forever, and I'm finally getting a chance to dive into it. Hooray!
  6. Caroline and I recently attended a local arts festival. Apparently, she inspired the event photographers to take her picture. Must have been the pink tutu.
  7. Okay, I admit it. I'm obsessed with Kate Middleton's fashion sense and will likely try to emulate her style once this baby is born.
  8. This happened six years ago today.
