you can cook things pretty easily with a recipe and all. if it's just the two of you, you can always just make a whole chicken or a spiral ham or something! You don't have to make a bunch of food!! Try checking out recipe sites on the web to see what you can find and talk to your DH and see if he wants to have people over or if he has friends that have invited you guys over! It might be easier to get with another couple and do thanksgiving that way the food isn't so much for just 2 people!! Good luck!!!

I say if it will be just the two of you get a ham, some frozen veggies, frozen biscuits, canned or packet of gravy, and a box of rice or Mac and Cheese, and a frozen pie

Oh and canned chicken broth for you veggies

Then cook as much as you can between Now and christmas so that you can "cook" for it

Last year was our first Thanksgiving and my first one that I cooked for!! DH invited some single friends that didnt go home and we had a nice sized dinner!! I was really nervous but everything turned out great and my turkey was so good it was falling off the bone!! If you have any questions just ask!!

we like cornish hens. they're so cute and good

I saw frozen turkey boobs in a bag the other day at the market. You apparently put the whole thing, bag and all, into the oven to cook it!

Seems like it'd kinda work...I've used those clear bags for bigger turkeys before, and it comes out all sorts of juicy.

One of those should be big enough for the two of you prolly!

I'm hoping we can have some friends over. I want to cook a big turkey and do a ham and all and have all the fixings!!! I'm used to a BIG dinner anyway!!! It'll be weird to just be the two of us without our big families!!!

Maybe i wouldnt mind my annoying guests for once
