Small Thanksgiving

If you are (or have in the past) doing a small thanksgiving, what's your menu like? It's just two adults and two kids.

A small turkey breast instead of a whole bird.
Mashed potatoes
Green beans
Dressing (stuffing)
Mac and cheese
Rolls
Pumpkin pie.

There are 3 adults and two kids this year. I am doing the traditional meal just smaller amounts.

Turkey
Mashed Potato
Yams
Stuffing
Veggie
Rolls
Fruit Salad

2 adults 1 kid

i have a 11/5 lb turkey
and as for sides my menu is;
stuffing
mashed potatoes
corn
green bean casserole
crescent rolls
deviled eggs

and for dessert an apple crumb pie

In the past, it's been the typical menu- turkey, fixings, apple pie, a couple of Trifle desserts, etc

If that was ever the case, we would just go out to eat.

Pretty much this, but with green bean casserole and sweet potato casserole and yeast rolls.

Last year we had a ham too.

Mmmm deviled eggs sound amazing *adds to list*

I might make a few other things, but in small amounts.

We're totally weird and don't like sweet potatoes or any of the casserole type dishes.

We are doing a fairly large bird, even though there is only a couple of us because SO's favorite part of Thanksgiving is the leftovers lol. Last year we did two medium birds, we might do that again, too.

We are also doing - rolls, mashed potatoes, stuffing, succotash, gravy and then whatever dessert strikes my fancy, probably pumpkin pie and sopapillas.

Thanks everyone. I feel so silly making tons of dishes when its just us. Then there the whole challenge that is our oven.

Nothing wrong with that lol. I just make smaller dishes, but a lot of them. I know when I get started I'll make a lot more than I intended, I do every year.

We do a turkey breast and a small ham
stuffing( I did the box this year)
mashed potatoes(only enough for 1 night, like 4-6 potatoes)
a can of biscuits
steamer veggies(green beans & corn)


1 pie, B picked out Turtle because we couldnt find pecan
