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!

I'm exhausted.

Yet it's after midnight and I'm still awake. After running errands and rearranging our house in preparation for Caroline's birthday party, you'd think I'd be sound asleep like the rest of the family. But, for some reason, I can't shut down my brain.

No... That's not true. I know the reason. There's so much more to do before we open our house to family and friends next weekend. That pre-party to-do list has me feeling mighty overwhelmed... and when I'm feeling overwhelmed, I can't sleep.

I tackled some paperwork. Watched reruns of Fixer Upper (because I recently finished reading this). Pared down the emails in my inbox... Then I realized I should've been working on this blog post rather than staring at the television.

So... without further ado, here's what I've planned for dinner at our house this week.
