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!

Classic Banana Bread

Classic Banana Bread Recipe on Taste As You Go!

So many people got through the first few months of this pandemic by baking. From sourdough bread to chocolate chip cookies to homemade pizza dough... There was evidence of home baking all over the internet.

Another popular foodie project during lockdown? Baking banana bread.

I watched as photos of banana bread filled my Instagram feed. As a blogger, my first instinct was to sit down and draft a post to go along with my version of this classic banana bread. But then I hesitated and walked away from my computer.

I didn't want my post to get lost in the noise. And, to be honest, I've been sitting on this recipe and these photos for a long time (years 🤦‍♀️...). So I didn't see the harm in waiting a few more months to share it.

Classic Banana Bread | Taste As You Go

I love this banana bread recipe for a handful of reasons. It's versatile, so you can adjust it to include nuts, blueberries, chocolate chips... The possibilities are endless! 

And it's a great way to use up the last of the yogurt in that 32-ounce container hiding at the back of your refrigerator. I've made it with plain yogurt as well as plain Greek yogurt. Both will work well here.

If you didn't experiment with banana bread recipes before... then now might be the time to start!
