Thanksgiving

[Guest guest]

Here's what we usually do. Please note that I am blessed with a

vegetarian mom who embraces my gluten free cooking style because she

adores my son (celiac). She's doing Thanksgiving dinner this year, with

some help from me.

 

Meal:

Butternut Squash with brown sugar and Earth Balance margarine

Mashed potatoes made with hazelnut milk and Earth Balance

Gluten Free rolls (I'll supply recipe if anyone wants it - they take 5

minutes and are AWESOME)

Broccoli with hollondaise (we use eggs - sorry, can't help with this

one! but I know there are plenty of mock recipes out there)

Traditional Stuffing made with GF bread cubes (Try Food for Life pecan

rice or almond rice bread)

Wild Rice pilaf (there's an awesome mix out there from Trader Joe's that

is wild rice and lentil - super easy, cheap and delicious!)

Cranberry Sauce

 

Dessert:

GF apple pie (yes, I have a successful crust recipe! It is flaky, stays

together (a bit crumbly, but stays together) and delicious (and isn't

this the point? :-) )

GF apple crisp since my kids don't like pie (I, too, use quinoa flakes

for the oatmeal - I use a traditional apple crisp recipe)

GF pumpkin pie

GF brownies - I have a great recipe for these - hey, the chocoholics

need dessert too!

 

Next year when eating at my in-laws will be more of an issue, but we'll

cross that bridge when we get to it! I prepare Christmas dinner, so no

problem there. I'm very funny about my family's cooking/eating habits.

I am outspoken and say, hey, if you don't like it, Burger King is in the

next town over! So far so good..... :-)

 

If you need the recipes, just let me know - I need to get my 5 year old

ready for school now, so I'll post later!
