Soft Pumpkin Cookies - me

These were a huge hit in my home.  My kids say they taste like Enjoy Life cookies, but less sugar :-)!  No, they are not the typical pie recipe, but they'd be a great snacking option.  You could even make a cookie pie crust from them :-)!)

Looking for a Healthy Gluten Free Treat? These Soft Pumpkin Cookies are Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free, and Sugar Free - They remind us of Enjoy Life Cookies, but without all the sugar and very little sweetener at that! Great not just for fall, but all year round.

And just in case you are looking for a totally non-traditional Thanksgiving meal, one year we had a family from India over.  We served My Most Requested Recipe Ever - Pakistani Beef Curry.  And they brought traditional Indian fare.  It was wonderful and a nice departure from the typical Thanksgiving meal.

    Hey Adrienne-

    Saving this to my pinterest. Thanks for taking the time to compile all these ideas! This is our 2nd GF Thanksgiving, and I'm still planning the menu for the boys' and me. The DH is eating the standard fare at his mom's b/c he's not GFCF by any means...I saw him eating Cheetos on the sofa tonight. Gah.

    Have a wonderful holiday!

      Hi Nicolette!

      I hope you tell me if you tried any of them! We are probably making the stuffing w/ a few changes and maybe the pumpkin pie. Our hostess is making "safe" pie too, but one can never have too much! She is also making the green beans! So nice to go somewhere and eat with someone who "gets" it.

      Cheetos? :-). When hubby and I met, our addiction was Jelly Bellies. We thought they were healthy b/c they had no fat. That's a Gah.

      Happy Thanksgiving! I was hoping to write a post about being thankful for autism tomorrow, but I'll be busy. Maybe later.

    Thank you for this! This is our first Thanksgiving with dairy-free considerations. I really appreciate that I can find most traditional foods I was thinking we would have to skip on this list!

      You're welcome! I'm so looking forward to trying some of these myself! I am maybe making the pumpkin pie and the carrots and the stuffing (w/o the nutritional yeast) and my hostess is making the green beans, minus the mushrooms and w/ a different kind of nuts. Happy Thanksgiving!
