Holiday Homemaking: Let’s Talk Thanksgiving Prep

I’m cozied up in the kitchen today getting our Thanksgiving lineup rolling~ the kind of slow, simple homemaking that just feels right this time of year. We’re switching things up with a smoked ham this time (breaking tradition in the best way 😄), plus my state fair ribbon winning sourdough discard rolls, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce + juice, gravy, and pumpkin pie.

What about you, friends? What’s on your table this week?

Thanksgiving Prep Checklist

-Start defrosting anything frozen tomorrow

-Prep sides Wednesday that hold well overnight (rolls, casseroles, pie crusts)

-Clear fridge space before the chaos hits

-Set the table early, it changes the whole feel

-Start your simmer pot (orange slices, cinnamon, cloves) to keep the home cozy

-Prep a “kid job” list to keep little hands busy and helpful

-Plan your quiet moment before hosting ~ gratitude first, everything else second
