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!

Steak and Potato Frittata

Steak and Potato Frittata | Taste As You Go

For someone who loves eggs, I'm embarrassed to admit that it wasn't until very recently that I made my first frittata at home. I don't know whether it was the intimidating sound of the name of the dish that prevented me from experimenting with frittatas or the very simple fact that I didn't own an oven-proof skillet (don't judge me)... Whatever the reason, the situation seems so silly now.

What the heck was I waiting for?

One of the brilliant things about a frittata is its versatility. Although it's made with eggs, a frittata is appropriate for any meal. Obviously, it makes a fantastic option for breakfast or brunch, but, if you serve the frittata with some fresh fruit or a side salad, then it can also make a simple lunch or dinner. You can even make a frittata ahead of time and then slice and serve it whenever you want.

As for what you put into a frittata, the sky's the limit! You can alter your ingredients to suit your personal tastes, just as you would with an omelet. (Though, you won't need to worry about folding the eggs properly with a frittata.) And, if you have any leftover meat or vegetables in your refrigerator, then a frittata is the perfect way to repurpose those leftovers into something new.

That's exactly what I did with the grilled flank steak and roasted potatoes that I put into this frittata... And it was a hit!

What are your favorite frittata (or omelet) ingredients?
