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!

After a very busy weekend, I'm finally sitting down to write this post. 

I jumped right in on Saturday morning on some housework that needed my attention. It's embarrassing to admit how overdue we were with housecleaning. 🤦 

The housework carried over to today, and I carved out time to work on my closet, a project I start over a month ago. I weeded out the clothes that no longer fit... and then I swapped out my white plastic hangers for these wood ones.

Between all that, we managed to squeeze in some early Halloween fun. We took the kids downtown for Halloween on the Green on Saturday. They loved trick-or-treating at some of our favorite local businesses... and it got us all in the spirit for the big trick-or-treating event tomorrow night.

I have a handful of things I still want to get done before I call it a night... so let's get down to business. If you're curious to see what's on deck for dinner at our house this week, then keep reading!

A Week of Dinners: October 30 - November 5


Since I'm not planning on making too much ahead of time this week, I'm not going to include a defrost/prep plan today. Hopefully, next week, I'll be able to do some prepping and cooking ahead of time to make the week go by more easily... at least in the kitchen!

What do you have planned for dinner at your house this week?
