Thanksgiving Recipes for 2-4
An Epic Celebration of Mini Proportions
All your Thanksgiving favorites, scaled down for a smaller crowd. But also you can scale them up if you like more than 2-4 people, I guess. Make them all or mix and match! The possibilities are endless!
Just so you can gauge the amount of food, this entire meal fed 4 adults, with minimal leftovers. On the menu:
• oven-roasted chicken with stuffing and gravy
• brussels sprout salad with warm bacon vinaigrette
• pumpkin spice croissant bread pudding.
I invite you to pick-and-choose what you want to make, or make the whole damn thing! It’s up to you, boo!
Pro Tips on Prepping for Thanksgiving Dinner
• Prep as much as you can the day before. I cannot stress this enough.
• Work on one dish at a time. Clean up entirely (dishes, counter, floor, etc.) after you’ve completed it. This allows you to start each dish with a fresh kitchen. Try it, I swear by it.
• When you take the chicken out of the oven to rest, put everything else in there at the same temp and start building your gravy. Should time itself out pretty well. Dishes with crispy toppings (green bean casserole & mac and cheese) will be done at different times. Take them out when the toppings are a nice golden brown.
• Don’t make the punch too early, you’ll lose the bubbles in the sparkling rosé!

The 2 Kitchen Items You Need to Make Thanksgiving Dinner a Breeze
I used my Pyrex set to make this entire meal, minus the chicken and punch. The glass vessels are sheer perfection for these scaled down recipes, AND they all fit in the oven at the same time!
There is nothing more important than a sharp knife in your kitchen. This Victorinox Chef’s Knife is extremely affordable and has lasted me YEARS, just remember to treat it well and get it sharpened! I 💕 THIS KNIFE!
There is an equipment section below each and every one of my recipes, highlighting the three most important tools needed to successfully execute the dish, bish. All equipment sections contain affiliate links to products I recommend, many of which I love and use daily. Please use them and help me put food on this blog!
I hope you enjoy your Epic Feast of Mini Proportions! Stay safe, please wear a mask, and see you soon!
