Celiac Friendly Thanksgiving

Celiac Friendly Thanksgiving

Its that time of year again. Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and its coupled with all the requisite family and friend gatherings, and laden with food and drink. Its that time of year where all those home cooked goodies you cant resist make their grand appearance. Foods that are loaded with delicious carbs, sugar, and that sneaky little ingredient called gluten are trotted out one by one, tempting you to partake. Unfortunately, dealing with celiac disease isnt fun, and sometimes you may feel it limits your ability to enjoy the holiday and the typical Thanksgiving dining fare. Perhaps you have friends who keep telling you to try different gluten free recipes, but those recipes just continue to stare you down. If youve never made gluten free treats before, a stare down is normal. You might even feel a bit daunted, thinking theres no way gluten free treats can be made and still be called treats. We promise you, they can indeed be done, and you can have a celiac-friendly Thanksgiving with all the dishes (and treats) that are just as good (or even better) than those from your Thanksgiving gatherings in the past. So good in fact, your guests probably wont even realize they are eating gluten free. Unless, of course, you tell them. We wont if you wont. All it takes is a little extra effort and creativity to determine where gluten may be hiding in your cherished box of recipes, and then ferret out all the gluten free ingredients that work well as substitutions. You can take baby steps and try a wide variety of ready-made gluten free foods, or you can go all in and do things Grandma style, making all your dishes from scratch, using gluten free ingredients. Its entirely your choice, and thankfully, when it comes to going gluten free, there are many of them. That said, here are a few recipes you can add to your gluten free recipe box and enjoy for many more Thanksgivings to come!
