I have heard from so many people
that they are having small Thanksgiving celebrations this year…
or perhaps no celebration at all,
just a normal dinner with their spouse or immediate family,
or perhaps with a friend or little Indian…
Well that hurts my holiday loving heart!
So I rounded up some of my favorite recipes
that will make it feel like Thanksgiving, even if it’s just for 2
Start off with a festive plate of nibbles,
a cheese straw pumpkin, turkey or pilgrim hat…
Wrap your stuffing with bacon and give it a sweet orange glaze
Orange Glazed Bacon Wrapped Stuffing Balls
No need to make a big sweet potato casserole,
these twice baked sweet potatoes have all the flavors
Here’s another unique way of serving stuffing…in a muffin!
Apple, Pecan and Pomegranate Stuffing Muffins
Wrap Brussels in bacon and cover with a sweet cranberry glaze
Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts with Cranberry Orange Glaze
Make a casserole with all the flavors of Thanksgiving,
chicken or turkey, stuffing, and vegetables
Buy a small sliced ham and cook in in your slow cooker
with a little bourbon and maple syrup
Cranberry Chicken can be prepped in 5 minutes
and you’ll never miss the turkey!
Green Bean Casserole?
No problem, mix it with chicken
and top it with a flaky pastry for an irresistible pot pie!

Let flavorful chicken thighs fill in for the turkey
Bake them in a luscious mustard maple sauce
and top them with pecans before serving
Mustard Maple Pecan Chicken Thighs
Mix Cornbread and wild rice with chicken and mushrooms
to combine many favorites all in one dish

Our little pilgrims are much too big to sit at this sweet little table now,
and 2 of our pilgrims will be elsewhere this Thanksgiving…
But even though are numbers are smaller, we will still celebrate!
Many of these recipes are perfect for using up leftovers too
And in case you missed it,
Here are some appetizers and desserts
we’re thinking about having for our celebration here
