It’s been a challenging year for all of us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t give thanks for what we have … and enjoy some delicious food.

If you’re looking for ways to make your entertaining Covid conscious, containing dishes to single servings can cut down on the amount of sharing ladles and serving spoons among guests. You could also present the single servings on individual plates or bowls if you wish. Another bonus – if you’re having a smaller gathering this year, single servings are easy to freeze and reheat later.
