Whether this is your first time hosting Thanksgiving or your 40th time, this is the post for you!

Maybe it’s just two of you? Maybe your immediate family? Maybe a few more? Here’s my insider tip of the week…

Do what you like! You don’t need my permission, but if you are like me, sometimes you need someone to tell you, it’s okay to do something different.

  • Making a full Thanksgiving dinner? Go for it! I wrote a comprehensive post last week with tons of recipes for Thanksgiving dinner, all recipes can easily be cut in half for smaller gatherings.
  • Consider ordering dinner from a local restaurant or grocer, like Whole Foods; give yourself the grace to do that too! Pssst you just might want to order early!

NEW RECIPE! If you do make a turkey, chances are you might have some leftover, introducing the American Classic — Leftover Turkey Divan! Creamy, full of great flavors and topped with leftover stuffing or butter crackers.

Give thanks this week! I am thankful for YOU!

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:6-7
