Have you started planning the menu for your Thanksgiving dinner? Are you looking for some dynamite dessert recipes that will satisfy your guests' collective sweet tooth? Be sure to check out this amazing round-up of 50 Thanksgiving dessert recipes on Taste As You Go! This post was updated with new links and photos in November 2021. Ahhhh...  November.  I have been waiting for you (and all that you bring) for months . Specifically, I have been counting down to that glorious day spent with family and loved ones around a long table packed to the gills with platters and bowls of comfort food and happy memories. Of course, I'm talking about Thanksgiving. This year, we're spending the holiday with my family in Connecticut and I. Cannot. Wait. You better believe I'm going to use my pregnancy as an excuse to eat three full plates of food plus  five slices of whatever we've got going on at the dessert end of the meal!

What's for Dinner: August 4 - August 10

Looking for dinner inspiration? Here's what I've planned for dinner at our house this week!

Crowd cheers at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts


Reentry into our normal routines has been tough for us this past weekend. Last week, we were all off doing things out of the ordinary. I was in Boston at a conference for work most of that time. Stephen also had to travel for work, so the kids spent a few days at my sister's house for an epic cousin sleepover.

I made it home in time for dinner on Friday night, so we reunited over homemade pizza... but it's been a hard road traveled ever since. The kids have been misbehaving and I've had to exert quite a bit of effort to keep my temper.

I know there are ten thousand reasons that could explain their behavior. It's important to remind myself that things will settle down soon... They'll be better. And I'll be better.

One way I can help us routine to our routine is by menu planning. It didn't make sense to map out of a full plan last week since I wasn't going to be home. But now that I'm back from my trip, it's definitely time to get back to business.

To see what I've planned for dinner at our house this week, keep reading!
