  Thanksgiving is bound to look a little bit different this year with the new pandemic restrictions in place. If you haven’t heard yet, the new COVID regulations implemented by Governor Baker strongly oppose gatherings of more than five people and encourage even small get togethers to integrate face coverings into their turkey day festivities. For many, the risk of visiting family remains too high to chance the possibility of exposure, and we here at QuarantinedinBoston support your choices to keep yourself and family safe this holiday season. So, in the spirit of trying to embrace a ‘new normal’ for all, we’ve put together a list of ready to go and cook-at-home meal kits being served up in and around the Boston area this week.

From all of us here at Quar...
