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: August 13 - August 19

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

Wow, you guys. What a weekend. The baby hasn't been sleeping well at night, and we've been operating in a zombie-like state. I've had to dig deep to survive the past couple of days. There have been tears all around and moments when I felt like a horrible mom... especially when I yelled when I should have walked away or counted to ten.

Despite the rough nights and feeling like a failure, we managed to fill the days with some fun... like a celebrity encounter, a visit with family, and a Harry Potter-themed party. Once again, I'm reminded that parenthood -- and life -- is all about balance. Right when you think you're going to lose your mind, something happens to help you have faith again.

In the spirit of picking my head up and forging ahead, I've pushed myself to share this week's menu plan with you. Here's what's on deck for dinner at our house this week.

Sunday

Spaghetti and Basic Baked Meatballs with Marinara Sauce

Monday


Tuesday


Wednesday

Thursday
