Thanksgiving marks the beginning of our favorite time of year. We love everything the season brings and Thanksgiving holds some of our most meaningful memories. In our crazy, fast-paced lives it’s a time for us to slow down, enjoy our family & friends, and connect over the dinner table with wonderful food and laughter.

We’re all about keeping things simple with healthy & familiar home-cooked favorites. We know Thanksgiving isn’t a relaxing time for everyone; so this year we thought why not change things up! Today we’re bringing you a few of our favorite dishes, hand-picked with Thanksgiving for two in mind. No matter how many people you’re cooking for this year, these recipes are sure to have everyone smiling around your table.

We started by picking up two Cornish hens from Heinen’s. Stuff the hens with your favorite stuffing. Our favorite stuffing is super normal so decided to get creative this year! We stuffed one of our hens with with butternut squash & quinoa and the other with spinach & cream cheese.

Heinen's Grocery Store

By Heinen's Grocery Store

In 1929, Joe Heinen opened the doors of a small butcher shop on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, aiming to establish himself as the city’s purveyor of quality meats. As customers came into Heinen’s new shop for their meat purchases, they began asking him to carry groceries as well. Joe added homemade peanut butter, pickles and donuts and by 1933, business had grown enough to include a line of produce and canned goods. Heinen’s Grocery Store was born.
