non traditional and cheap two person thanksgiving

2020 menu plan for a non traditional and cheap two person thanksgiving. We are making our leftovers a priority this year. Isn’t it every other year that we go through the best sides first and don’t know what to do with the rest of the leftovers? Since it will only be two of us this holiday, we might as well make the most of what we can, and for now that looks like an excess of thanksgiving sides for two. I included some indulgent elements to our plan but ultimately the main part of the meal was very affordable with lots of leftovers!

non traditional and cheap two person thanksgiving

Drinks:

Cranberry Lime Cocktail
Make Ahead: Zest limes, juice limes & clementines and freeze with pieces of dried wild apple mint.

Thanksgiving Day: Mix Frozen Juice Ice Cubes with Cranberry juice and Elderflower Rum (this was on sale at the Big Y in Great Barrington!)

Italian Pinot Noir
Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream – if we aren’t already stuffed.

Appetizers/Lunch:

Dairy Free Port Cheese with Treeline Plant Based cheese (I have never tried making it before so I do not have the recipe details yet.)

Goat Camembert (for my partner that eats dairy)
A selection of crackers – Simple Mills, Hu Kitchen & a fancy fig/pumpkin seed option.
Apples

Bacon Bites
Make Ahead: Caramelized onion

Thanksgiving Day: Assemble onion, sage, mustard, date & treeline cheese with bacon

Gluten Free Baked Bacon Cheese Bites

The most crowd pleasing appetizer. They are always gone within 10 minutes and are the easiest appetizer to make. Makes about 16 bites.
Course Appetizer
Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 packet bacon- gluten free, free range cut in half down the middle
  • 1 onion* caramelized (see below)
  • 3 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup dates thick slices
  • fresh sage leaves
  • firm cheese (I like goat gouda) cut into cubes
  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions

  • Peel and cut your choice of onion in half. Then make sauté slices along the grow lines of the onion and cut away from the end of the bulb. 
  • *Heat a large frying pan to medium low heat.
  • *Once pan is heated, add about a tablespoon of your choice of fat- make sure to use a high heat oil like ghee or avocado oil and salt, stir frequently.
  • *Continue cooking, adding more salt if necessary, until onions are transparent and sweated through. 
  • *Once onions begin to brown, turn the heat up to medium or medium high (setting can vary depending on how hot your stove runs), and begin to stir less often. Only do so to prevent blackening or sticking to the pan.
  • *Once onions begin to caramelize, before they burn, add your choice of liquid to deglaze the pan. Set aside to cool.
  • Cut one package of bacon strips in half, hamburger style. Each bite will be half a strip of bacon.
  • Set your oven to 425 degrees F to preheat while you assemble.
  • On a lined baking sheet (preferably with raised sides), place a few strips of bacon to begin assembling.
  • Smear a dollop of mustard onto the bacon and layer with 1/2 tsp of caramelized onions, 1/2 a date, 1 cube of cheese, 1 medium sized sage leaf.
  • Fold over the ends of the bacon slice and turn over so the fold side is touching the pan. 
  • Leave about 1-2 inches of space between each bite.
  • Bake for 15-25 minutes, checking occasionally. Time can vary depending on your oven and how thick your bacon pieces are. 
  • Once out of the oven, use a spatula to scoop each bite onto a plate lined with paper towels to catch excess grease. Let cool for 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

* The caramelized onions are optional. If you are short on time, no need to cook them up. If you do have the time, it is incredible!

The Cheap Meal Elements:

Main Protein:

Pork Tenderloin (I can find organic at $5 – $7 for 2 people w/ leftovers)

Thanksgiving Day:

cut into 3-4 sections. coat in salt and pepper.
-with dairy free butter in the pan, fry each side on medium low until golden.
Set aside then bake at 400F until done.

Sides:

Day Before Thanksgiving:
Garlic Confit in the Oven (I already made this and saved the garlic with some oil in the fridge and stored the rest of the excess oil in the freezer for a later day)
Mashed Potatoes (To reheat: add liquid to rehydrate then bake in the oven until golden on top)
Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows (same as mashed potatoes but add marshmallows)
Homemade Cranberry Sauce
Stuffing 2 ways (one gluten free and one regular)

*To keep ingredients fresh for the stuffing, I like to use mushrooms and sausage. I will be defrosting and browning sausage that I have frozen and will be rehydrating dried mushrooms.

Thanksgiving Day:
Corn & lightly dressed green salad (olive oil, mustard, red wine vinegar)
Gravy

Dessert:

All miniature pie bites using a mini muffin tin

I have already made & frozen:
Gingerbread Topping for the Pumpkin Spice Apple Cider Bites
A double recipe of pie crust
Pumpkin Spice Apple Cider Pie filling
Cherry Pie Filling

Weekend before Thanksgiving: make pumpkin pie filling & defrost frozen elements in the fridge
Two days before Thanksgiving: bake the pies so I don’t have to make the pies and sides all the day before or on Thanksgiving.

Pumpkin Spice Apple Cider Bites
Holiday flavor overload that just works and is the most deliciously nostalgic treat in a tiny bite sized package.

Memorial Day Tahini Walnut Pesto Pasta

In honor of the farmer’s markets this year, I really wanted to highlight using easy to source farm fresh produce. Broccoli and parsley can be so easy to find throughout the summer, making this dish easy and cheap for summer Holiday BBQ’s. I created this Memorial Day Tahini Walnut Pesto Pasta recipe as a delicious and healthy side to start the summer off confident!

When I’m low on time and energy before a gathering, I can easily whip this up and make sure I am getting plenty of detoxifying vegetables. This recipe is so cheap and fast, I don’t bust my wallet. It’s become a regular staple in my routine during the summer, plus I don’t have to wait for later summer months to have enough garden fresh basil.

Use the extra farmer's market or CSA finds with this broccoli walnut pesto

Being gluten & dairy free, I really started to miss a good, cheesy and creamy pesto pasta. This recipe is delicious and so easy to put together!

I swear there is no overpowering broccoli flavor. It is the perfect, light pesto recipe with a bit of added nutrition I am a big fan of broccoli, but too much can upset my stomach, a gentle boil or steam and blend with the yummiest of pesto ingredients.

If you struggle to get enough veggies in your life, this recipe is easy, delicious and so nutritious. I promise, if you try this Memorial Day Tahini Walnut Pesto Pasta, you won’t feel like you’re cooking. It’s a great meal prep item too. Just keep in a container for up to 3 days and add to your pasta at lunch or dinner during the week.

Memorial Day Tahini Walnut Pesto Pasta

I originally invented this recipe when I had a chopped style challenge in my cooking lab at school. We had a head a broccoli and a kale salad in the works. At first we decided to roast the broccoli for the side, but decided to make it easily digestible and delicious by blending it up into a pesto. Along with our kale salad and broccoli walnut pesto, we topped it with chopped dates which turned out to be a surprisingly delicious addition. When I had extra pesto, I chopped dates, apples and mixed it in with extra olive oil to create a quick, delicious and nutrient packed salad dressing.
