Although we’ve been used to large family gatherings with a potluck dinner, we’ve been enjoying a nice intimate Thanksgiving dinner together for a few years now. I welcomed the challenge of cooking a large meal for two people, and enjoyed leftovers for days to come. Here’s the lineup!

• Pull-Apart Stuffing Rolls from Serious Eats ★★★★
• Turketta from Roli Roti (purchased uncooked at New Seasons) ★★★
• The Ultimate Homemade Green Bean Casserole from Serious Eats ★★★★★
• Best Turkey Gravy from Cook’s Illustrated ★★★★
• Ultra-Fluffy Mashed Potatoes from Serious Eats ★★★★
• Canned Cranberry Sauce from Whole Foods, for nostalgia. 🙂 ★★★
• Cocktail: 100-Year-Old Cigar from Serious Eats ★★★★★
