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're getting to that part of the summer when it's too hot to do anything. My desire to meal plan plummets because I don't want to cook at all.

Period.

End of discussion.

Ah, but if only it were that simple...

Before we had kids, we'd solve the dinner dilemma by going out for frozen yogurt or ice cream. And I have to admit, it's been tempting to run the froyo play a few times over the past few weeks. But I'd hate for the kids to get used to a routine like that.

Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream | Taste As You Go

If we throw the idea of ice cream as a meal into the mix, then it's pretty much Game Over.

So I will dig deep.

I will continue to draft our weekly dinner plans. We will continue to cook relatively balanced meals... And I will figure out a way to make homemade ice cream like this Strawberry Ice Cream more often. Especially with all the fresh, local, seasonal fruit available right now!

Note to self: it might be time to order these tubs for ice cream storage...

Do you make ice cream or frozen yogurt at home? What are your favorite flavors and/or recipes? Let me know in the comments below!
