A Healthy Thanksgiving!

Celebrating the holidays is often tough for those with dietary restrictions. Often we are faced with a hodge-podge of pot luck type dishes we just have no idea might contain those things we cannot have. How you handle it of course is up to you. I suggest if it will be a sit down meal, you speak with the host and let them know beforehand. Tell them they do not have to make everything according to your needs, but that they could point out what will be OK for you. (you may have to explain your allergy to them). Or, as an alternative, ask if you can bring a dish that you know you can have - to share with them. Let them know it is not about their cooking.

In our household, we plan these holidays around all our restrictions, so we know what we can have.

I have a few recipes posted that might help you make your family dinner this year. I hope you have a safe and healthy holiday.

Turkeys -
Believe it or not, most turkeys sold commercially today HAVE GLUTEN in them. They inject them with extra flavor (salt & gluten) and moisture to make a tastier bird, but some of us just cannot eat this. Look for the words GLUTEN FREE on the package.
