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: July 9 - July 15 {and a Pregnancy Update}

Looking for dinner inspiration? Here's what I've planned for dinner at our house this week!

Wow, what a week it's been.

Those of you who keep tabs on me via Facebook and Instagram already know this... But for those of you who don't, I have some news about my pregnancy.

Our sweet baby boy made his earlier-than-expected entrance into the world a week ago. In the blink of an eye, my status at the hospital went from "high-risk undelivered" to "NICU mom". Then, after a slightly extended recovery period, my doctors discharged me, and I went home while he stayed in the NICU.

He's still there now.

Most of what happened since the night he was born is still a blur. But I do want to continue sharing pieces of my pregnancy story with you, so I'm going to take some time to sort through the details. Look for a blog post about his arrival in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, even though it's late, here's our menu plan for the week.
