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!

Spinach and Gruyere Quiche

Spinach and Gruyere Quiche | Taste As You Go

This recipe for Spinach and Gruyere Quiche originally appeared on Taste As You Go in 2012. It appears here with slight modifications and updated photos.

When I originally shared my mother's recipe for this Spinach and Gruyere Quiche, I wasn't exactly happy with the photos that I took to go along with the post. 

You may remember that cutting into the quiche revealed a clear top layer of gooey Swiss cheese and a somewhat sad-looking bottom layer of spinach. Plus, the lighting I was working with didn't help the situation. Now that I'm much more comfortable with my digital camera, I'm hoping to recreate many of the dishes in the recipe archives so I can take more appealing photos.

Making some small modifications to mom's recipe certainly helped in the presentation department. Not only is this version of her quiche prettier to look at (sorry, Mom), but it's also more practical in that it's now possible to identify the main ingredients in the filling just by looking at it.

This quiche is simple enough to prepare for a quick weeknight supper with family -- I've done that many times! -- or for an elegant weekend brunch with guests. Either way, I'm sure you'll just love it!
