It has only been the two of us for years. I make Cornish hens and a ham steak I stuff the bird which gives me the stuffing I desire for the holiday DH love the ham. Mash potatoes and home made cranberry sauce with crescent rolls round off the meal. I also make a homemade pumpkin pie. This year a friend bought over enough pumpkin for 10 pies! I have learned to cook smaller for the holiday. Same thing for the Christmas holiday..
