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!

What's for Dinner: April 21 - April 27

It's taken a few days, but I'm finally feeling like I'm on the mend. That cold I caught toward the end of last week took its toll, and I had to use every ounce of strength within me to operate, maybe, at 40%.

As it's Easter, and we'll be spending part of the day with my family, I'm grateful to be feeling better. If you're celebrating today, I hope you enjoy the day and are able to make some beautiful memories with your loved ones!

Before I get swept away by the day, here's what I've planned for dinner at our house this week.
