Happy Saturday!

We’re getting really close to Thanksgiving, so if you’re hosting, I’m assuming the menu is mostly locked in. I’ve still got a couple last-minute recipes coming your way this week, but today’s recipe is for my small-group peeps, the dinner-for-1-or-2 crowd who still want the vibes without the full production.

And in case you missed it: the Thanksgiving hub now has 40+ recipes including more dinner for 2 ideas!


Hosting doesn’t have to be a production. From now until the new year, I’ll be sharing easy hosting tips to help you pull off easy breezy, effortless gatherings that still feel special.

this week’s tips - a few last minute Thanksgiving hosting tips:

• Jazz up your water with pomegranate seeds, fruit, or herbs
• Empty your dishwasher before guests arrive for an easier cleanup
• Warm your plates before dinner to keep everything hot
