Like many events since the pandemic began, Thanksgiving will be a little different this year. To help keep their friends, family and communities safe, many people are taking the CDC’s recommendation to limit in-person gatherings to people they live with or small group they’re in regular contact with. As a result, many Thanksgiving Day meals will feature a lot less food. K-State Research and Extension nutrition specialist Sandy Procter says that doesn’t mean you can’t prepare and enjoy your favorite foods. All you need to do is downsize those favorite foods or make plans for how to use the leftovers.
