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: November 1 - November 7

Welcome to November, everyone!

I hope you had a safe Halloween and that you're surviving the time change as best you can. I'm grateful that our kids let us sleep and played quietly until they heard us get up.

To be honest, I was a little worried about how the kids would handle Daylight Saving. We weren't comfortable with the idea of trick-or-treating this year... so we planned a fun family night at home instead. We had chicken fingers and fries for dinner. Then we followed that with a movie night complete with heaping bowls of buttery popcorn. (With Raisinets toss in for the adults.)

The plan to tire the kids out by keeping them up a little later than usual seems to have worked. Makes me wonder... Do you think I can convince them to take a nap later? 🤔

While I try and take advance of the extra hour to do stuff, here's what I've planned for dinner at our house this week!

PS. Fellow parents... remember when Daylight Saving ending meant an extra hour of sleep?? 🤣
