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!
Oh, thank you so much for this list. I’m especially excite about the GF pumpkin pie. 🙂
You’re welcome! I am going to make that too :-). I’ll hopefully post my other recipe soon for Christmas. Happy Thanksgiving!
