  1. Celiac.com 01/04/2025 - Navigating dietary restrictions during family meals can be challenging, especially when emotions, traditions, and communication gaps come into play. This recent story about a sister-in-law who added flour to a dish meant to be gluten-free highlights just how delicate these situations can be for people with gluten intolerance, celiac disease, or other dietary sensitivities. It also raises important questions about respect, trust, and the lengths individuals must go to protect their health while maintaining family relationships. Understanding Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease For those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, eating gluten is not just a matter of personal preference—it is a serious health issue. Gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, can trigger a range of symptoms in sensitive individuals. For those with celiac disease, consuming gluten damages the small intestine, leading to nutrient deficiencies, gastrointestinal distress, and long-term health complications. Even small amounts of gluten, such as those added to a dish during cooking, can cause harm. In this story, the husband’s dietary restrictions were made clear in advance. His wife repeatedly reminded the sister-in-law about his gluten intolerance, and he took proactive measures, such as bringing his own gluten-free dishes. Despite these efforts, the addition of flour to a sweet potato casserole turned a safe dish into a harmful one, creating not only physical risk but also emotional tension. Miscommunication or Malice? One of the most striking aspects of this situation is the tone and intent behind the sister-in-law’s actions. According to the account, her response to being asked about the presence of flour seemed "smug," which only deepened the sense of betrayal. However, it is also possible that the tone was misinterpreted, especially given the significant stress she faces as the primary caregiver for a family member with serious health conditions. Stress, fatigue, and caregiving responsibilities can sometimes cause people to act thoughtlessly or defensively. While this doesn’t excuse actions that put others at risk, understanding the context may help to approach the situation with more compassion. What This Means for People with Gluten Sensitivity or Celiac Disease This story illustrates a common challenge faced by people with dietary restrictions: navigating social situations where food is central. Here are some key takeaways for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease: Clear Communication is Essential Openly communicating dietary needs is vital, but as this situation shows, even clear instructions can sometimes be ignored or misunderstood. When attending meals prepared by others, it is often safest to bring your own dishes or to confirm ingredients with the host directly. Advocating for Your Health Situations like this underscore the importance of being your own advocate. If you suspect that a dish is unsafe, it’s okay to ask direct questions—even if it feels awkward. Your health and well-being should always come first. The Emotional Toll of Non-Compliance Beyond the physical risks, experiences like this can leave people feeling invalidated or disrespected. For individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it’s not just about avoiding discomfort—it’s about protecting their health and feeling supported by loved ones. Balancing Boundaries and Relationships While it’s tempting to draw a hard line and refuse future dinner invitations, the couple in this story is grappling with the complexity of family dynamics. The sister-in-law’s role as a caregiver for an aging family member adds another layer of difficulty. Forging a path forward will require a balance of firm boundaries and understanding. Here are some strategies to navigate similar situations: Set Clear Boundaries Politely but firmly communicate your intentions, whether that means declining future invitations or setting specific expectations for shared meals. For example, you might offer to prepare and bring your own dishes or suggest a potluck-style gathering to reduce the burden on the host. Focus on Education Sometimes, misunderstandings about dietary restrictions stem from a lack of knowledge. If the sister-in-law didn’t fully grasp the seriousness of gluten intolerance, taking the time to explain its impact may help prevent future issues. Consider Stress Factors While caregiving stress doesn’t excuse actions that jeopardize someone’s health, acknowledging the pressures the sister-in-law faces may open the door for a more constructive conversation. Offering support or finding ways to ease her burden could help improve the relationship. Trust Your Instincts If you feel that a situation is unsafe or unsalvageable, it’s okay to prioritize your well-being. Declining future invitations or suggesting alternative ways to connect with family—such as meeting for coffee or attending events that don’t center around food—may be the best solution. Building a Path Forward For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, navigating family gatherings can be fraught with challenges. Stories like this one highlight the importance of both setting boundaries and fostering understanding. While the sister-in-law’s actions were concerning, the couple may benefit from approaching the situation with empathy, while still standing firm in their commitment to health and safety. Ultimately, this story serves as a reminder that dietary restrictions are not just personal quirks—they are medical necessities. For friends and family members, respecting these needs is a fundamental way to show care and support. For those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, advocating for yourself while maintaining relationships can be a delicate balance, but it’s one worth striving for.

Don't assume your turkey is gluten-free. Numerous brands use gluten when processing their turkeys, so be sure to read the label, and to make sure there is no hidden gluten in any of the ingredients. Be especially cautious of any seasoning or gravy packets that come with otherwise gluten-free turkeys. If you’re not sure, check the ingredients and use our Gluten-Free Ingredient Lists to help you shop. If you’re wondering which brands of turkey are gluten-free, here’s a helpful list of gluten-free turkey brands. There are probably many other gluten-free brands, but be sure to check with your local store and read labels to be sure. Step Two - Here are Nine of Our Best Recipes for Great Gluten-free Stuffing Brown and Wild Rice Savory Mushroom Stuffing Best Gluten-free Holiday Stuffing Recipe Whole Foods Market Classic Gluten-free Stuffing Food Network Classic Gluten-free Stuffing Step Three - Serve Great Gluten-free Appetizers Bacon Wrapped Dates with Goat Cheese Baked Brie with Cranberry Raspberry Sauce Baked Brie with Fig Jam Prosciutto Wrapped Pears with Manchego Roasted Red Pepper Dip Step Four - Serve Our Best Gluten-free Holiday Gravy This recipe makes a rich, savory gravy that will have all your holiday guests smiling! Makes enough gravy to serve about eight to ten people. Ingredients: 1 pound turkey giblets and neck 1½ quarts gluten-free chicken stock (low sodium is fine) 2 carrots, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped 2 cups water 1½ cups pan drippings from roasted turkey 4 tablespoons of corn starch (approximate) Note: One tablespoon corn starch (¼-ounce) thickens one cup of liquid 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce Salt and ground black pepper to taste Directions: While the turkey is roasting, place the turkey giblets and neck into a large saucepan with the carrots, celery, water, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil over medium heat, skim off any foam that rises to the top, reduce heat to low, and simmer the stock for 3 hours. Skim off the fat, strain the stock, and set aside. There should be about 4 cups of stock. Take carrots and celery and press through a strainer. Spoon strained carrots and celery into the stock and stir. Skim off and discard all but ¼ cup of the fat from the drippings in the roasting pan, and place the roasting pan over medium heat. Whisk in the corn starch, then heat and stir the corn starch mixture until it becomes pale golden brown, about 5 minutes. To avoid lumps, mix the starch with an equal amount of cold liquid until it forms a paste, then whisk it into the liquid you're trying to thicken. Once the thickener is added, cook it briefly to remove any starchy flavor. Don't overcook. Whisk in the stock and tomato paste; bring to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes, then whisk in the cranberry sauce. Simmer for 10 more minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Step Five - Make Great Gluten-Free Mashed Potatoes and Side Dishes Make these roasted garlic and chive mashed potatoes, and/or make easy, tasty gluten-free side dishes using Celiac.com's extensive listing of gluten-free recipes. Roasted Garlic Chive Mashed Potatoes Ingredients: 5 large russet potatoes (about 4½ pounds), peeled and cut into chunks 1 head of garlic (8-10 cloves), roasted 1 cup fresh cream, warmed ¾ cup (1½ sticks) butter, room temperature 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives Salt and freshly ground black pepper Directions: Use a knife to cut off 1/4 to a 1/2 inch of the top of cloves, exposing the individual cloves of garlic. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, and wrap in foil. Place in oven at 400 degrees F, and roast for about 30 minutes, until cloves are soft. While garlic is roasting, wash and peel potatoes and cut into 6 chunks each. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to a large pot of water, add potatoes and boil until the potatoes are soft (about 25-30 minutes). When garlic is soft, remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Once cool, place garlic on a plate and use a wooden spoon to squeeze roasted garlic out of the clove. When potatoes are done, strain them into a colander and let stand for 5 minutes to allow them to steam dry over the pot they were cooked in. Mash the potatoes. Stir in the cream, butter, roasted garlic, thyme and chives, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tip: Thicken your homemade gravy with either corn starch or arrowroot flour. This recipe makes a rich, savory gravy that will have all your holiday guests smiling! Makes enough gravy to serve about eight to ten people. Ingredients: 1 pound turkey giblets and neck 1½ quarts gluten-free chicken stock (low sodium is fine) 2 carrots, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped 2 cups water 1½ cups pan drippings from roasted turkey 4 tablespoons of corn starch (approximate) Note: One tablespoon corn starch (1/4 ounce) thickens one cup of liquid 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce Salt and ground black pepper to taste Preparation: While the turkey is roasting, place the turkey giblets and neck into a large saucepan with the carrots, celery, water, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil over medium heat, skim off any foam that rises to the top, reduce heat to low, and simmer the stock for 3 hours. Skim off the fat, strain the stock, and set aside. There should be about 4 cups of stock. Take carrots and celery and press through a strainer. Spoon strained carrots and celery into the stock and stir. Skim off and discard all but ¼ cup of the fat from the drippings in the roasting pan, and place the roasting pan over medium heat. Whisk in the corn starch, then heat and stir the corn starch mixture until it becomes pale golden brown, about 5 minutes. To avoid lumps, mix the starch with an equal amount of cold liquid until it forms a paste, then whisk it into the liquid you're trying to thicken. Once the thickener is added, cook it briefly to remove any starchy flavor. Don't overcook. Whisk in the stock and tomato paste; bring to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes, then whisk in the cranberry sauce. Simmer for 10 more minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Best Ever Gluten-Free Stuffing Recipe Third, make sure you prepare gluten-free stuffing. Try Celiac.com's Best Ever Gluten-free Stuffing Recipe. Ingredients: 5-6 cups gluten-free bread (about 2 loaves), cut into one-inch cubes, toasted and cooled 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 cups celery, chopped 1 large yellow onion, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped 1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped 1-2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped 1-2 cups gluten-free chicken broth 1 egg yolk 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper Directions: Sauté the onion and celery in olive oil on medium-low heat until translucent. Stir in the rosemary, sage, and thyme, and cook another one or two minutes, until the aroma of the herbs fills the air. Bring the chicken stock to boil on high heat. Place the egg yolk in a medium-sized bowl and carefully spoon two or three ounces of the chicken stock into the egg yolk, slowly, while whisking the mixture. Add the rest of the chicken stock to the egg mixture. (blending a small amount of stock into the egg first will prevent scrambled eggs.) Add the cooled celery, onion, and herbs mixture into the stock and egg mixture. Toss the bread cubes into this mixture and coat thoroughly. Add the salt and pepper and toss bread a bit more. Place all of this into a greased casserole dish (big enough to hold three quarts) and cover it with aluminum foil. Place in 400°F oven for 40-50 min, covering as needed with aluminum foil, until done. Insert a toothpick into the stuffing. If it comes out clean, the stuffing is done. If not, bake until the toothpick comes out clean. If you want to cook the stuffing inside the turkey add only 1 cup of chicken broth. Serves six to eight people, depending on their appetite for stuffing. Thanksgiving Gluten-free Pumpkin Pie Lastly, prepare winning gluten-free desserts, such as Celiac.com’s Best Ever Gluten-free Pumpkin Pie Recipe (Adapted from Libby's Original Pumpkin Pie Recipe) Ingredients: 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 2 large eggs 1 can (15 oz.)

  6. Celiac.com 11/18/2022 - While turkey gets all the attention on Thanksgiving, ham is a strong contender. Many families can't imagine Thanksgiving without a baked ham. Ham is easier to cook, easier to carve, moister and more flavorful than turkey. And its hardwood smoke and sweet honey glaze are perfect with the flavors of fall side dishes. Ham is also a great choice for smaller families. One of the great things about ham is that you really don’t need a recipe. Most hams are sold pre-cooked so they need only be warmed in the oven. Other hams come with their own rich glaze already baked in. You can find great baked hams in traditional bone-in form, easy-to-carve spiral-sliced, or the super-convenient boneless spiral-sliced. Be sure to read our article on how to find a gluten-free ham, and be careful and read labels and avoid gluten ingredients, especially in glazes for packaged hams. So this Thanksgiving, consider making ham the centerpiece of the celebration. This recipe can be made a day ahead. It requires a bit of love to get ready and some baking time, but you can make it the day before and heat it just before dinner. Side Dishes for Ham What goes with turkey generally also goes with ham. That's true of dressing, too, but southern-style cornbread dressing is especially good with Thanksgiving ham dinner. Serve classic fall sides like Brussels sprouts or other roasted vegetables, green beans (especially green bean casserole) sweet or savory baked squash, mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes, and cranberry sauce are naturals with any glazed ham. Some people like to attach pineapple slices to the ham with a cherry in the middle of each hole. Others cook down the pineapple juice with brown sugar and spices to make a pineapple glaze. Tangy Holiday Ham Recipe Ingredients: 1 (10 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in gluten-free ham 1 ¼ cups packed dark brown sugar ⅓ cup pineapple juice ⅓ cup honey, or more to taste ⅓ large orange 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard ¼ teaspoon ground cloves 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice, or to taste (Optional) Directions: Heat the oven to 325F (165C). Place ham in a roasting pan. Bake ham, uncovered, at 325F for 2 hours. While the ham is baking, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, and 1/3 cup honey in a saucepan. Zest orange into the saucepan, then squeeze in the juice. Add Dijon mustard and ground cloves; whisk mixture over medium-high heat as it comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until glaze thickens slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Taste glaze and adjust seasonings. Add lemon juice for more tang, or honey to make it sweeter. Set aside. Remove ham from the oven after it has baked for 2 hours. Brush with glaze. Bake for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, brushing ham with glaze every 10 minutes. Tip: Add leftover glaze to the pan drippings along with a little cornstarch or potato starch to make a nice sauce for the meat.

  8. Celiac.com 11/23/2011 - What’s a Thanksgiving without savory stuffing and sweet pumpkin pie? Well, it surely isn’t Thanksgiving to me; anything can be delicously gluten-free with a bit of imagination and creativity. Why waste your time worrying about what you can’t eat at the holiday dinner table when you can prepare endless naturally gluten-free dishes such as fresh cranberry relish, roasted turkey, parsnip quinoa pilaf, roasted beets and asparagus, roasted red pepper tapenade with rice crackers, creamy pumpkin pudding and dark chocolate covered almonds? All naturally gluten-free, all delicious. There’s no need to dwell on the puffed pastries and succulent pumpkin pies staring you in the face when you can bake gluten-free versions using gluten-free flour blends. This time of the year can be challenging for many folks trying to make healthy choices. It seems everywhere we turn there are sugarplums dancing in our heads and holiday gatherings offering cookies, desserts, cocktails and heavy casseroles. Don’t get down on yourself and dig into the platters loaded with sugar, unhealthy fats and salt; keep your head up and think about all the naturally gluten-free foods that are healthy and delicious. Let’s start with appetizers. How about an antipasta filled with gluten-free organic cheese and organic sliced lean meats, fresh herbs, olives, roasted red peppers and marinades mushrooms. You can easily serve this with hummus and Greek plain yogurt as well as a flavorful tapenade. Gluten-Free crackers and crudités are great to serve with these appetizers and can be enjoyed guilt-free for all of your gluten-free guests. Moving on to your main course, go for the turkey but make sure to create your own brine as some pre-made turkeys are made with a gluten-ous glaze. Mashed sweet potatoes? Check. Roasted vegetables? Check. Gluten-Free stuffing and gravy? Check and check. Try making healthy gravy using low-sodium vegetable broth, dried oregano and low-fat milk; heat until mixture thickens. And be sure to keep an eye on added salt. Season your dishes with fresh herbs such as thyme and marjoram along with balsamic vinegar and a small spoonful of Dijon mustard instead of reaching for that salt shaker. Now it’s time for dessert. Choose dark chocolate as it’s a great nibble for your sweet tooth and can be enjoyed melted over fresh fruit and Greek plain yogurt for a homemade ice cream without added sugar and processed ingredients. Just be sure to reduce the amount of added sugar in your baked goods and enhance the natural sweetness by adding in more all-spice, cinnamon and almond extract. You can also create fresh fruit purees and pumpkin puree to add into brownies, cakes and pies for a healthy gluten-free spin on the classic gluten-ous and calorie-laden desserts. I like to add applesauce, pureed banana and pureed prunes for a tasty and fiber-rich way to add naturally gluten-free flavor to any dessert. Have a Happy and Healthy Gluten-Free Thanksgiving.
  9. Celiac.com 02/02/2016 - Thanksgiving dinner is one of the culinary highlights of the year. Family and friends join together to share a blessed moment when they give thanks for each other and for homes, jobs, and the opportunity to live comfortable lives. We may give thanks for peace, decent weather, surviving illness, or just making it through another day. This is all done around the celebration of a food feast. Food is of central importance to social bonding and sharing a sense of community. As we all eat from the same platters and serve from the same bowls, there is a one-ness, a unity between us. But for folks who have celiac or who can't eat gluten, there is a sense of exclusion when relegated to a "separate but equal" dining system. People who have no problem eating anything and everything often fail to consider how hard it is for people who need to be super-careful about what they consume. When they have gone to great expense to buy festive foods, and after they've expended significant time planning the perfect plates, it is understandable that they get frustrated when others won't eat what they've prepared. What they may not remember is that there is a big difference between "won't" and "can't". Will-not implies a preference—and in food-terms it means wrinkling up your nose over something that doesn't strike your fancy. Can-not implies the hard truth that if one eats something, they could get sick. Won't is a choice—can't occurs when there is no choice. So when people do not eat a festive food, is it because they can't or won't? The usual default is to assume won't. But for people who are gluten-free, the answer is can't. Going gluten-free at Thanksgiving can be tough because it's so keenly associated with memories. Some of them are sensory, like remembering the smells of fresh-baked pumpkin pie or roasted turkey wafting out of the oven. Others are emotional, such as laughing with grandma while kneading bread that they family will soon lunge to smother with melting butter, or chopping up onions, celery, and chestnuts for dressing with Aunt Molly. For folks who once weren't gluten-free, certain foods evoke desire. We all have emotional trigger-foods. What's yours? One year we were invited to a colleague's Thanksgiving dinner and the hostess asked everyone, "What is the one food that if you don't have it for Thanksgiving, you would feel sad about?" It was a thoughtful question. After we all confessed she then told us that was the item we were to bring. When you're going to a pot-luck type of Thanksgiving dinner where everyone is bringing something, it's dietary roulette for someone with celiac. It's gambling at its finest. What are the chances that you can eat a dish? Does the cook appear conscientious and trustworthy or make you ask "am I feeling lucky?" enough to try that dish? Eating in collective settings lowers the risk of getting glutened when everyone knows you've got dietary issues and they're openly attentive to them. The risk is greater when you're with people you don't know well, or those who aren't as careful as they seem. Culinary posers prevail during the holidays. Some stop at the deli and put the food into their own bowls and cover them with aluminum foil to make it appear they made it themselves (I know—I have in fact done this). We have no idea what's really in the food because we didn't make it ourselves. Others lie about the dish's ingredients. They may innocently fib because they don't know what's safe and what's not for someone who has to go gluten-free—or they could tell only partial truth, like I did long ago about whether I put cream in a pumpkin soup when someone was lactose intolerant. Back then, I wrongly assumed that if they didn't know, they couldn't tell, so they wouldn't put up a fuss and then I wouldn't get embarrassed. I didn't know then what I know now. Even well-intended people may screw up when it comes to telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about what's in food or how it was prepared. Preparing a gluten-free Thanksgiving dinner that is absolutely safe and delicious for everyone to eat is easy. Here's a menu and recipes that will help you to create a meal that everyone is thankful for! It focuses on foods of the season, especially apples and the family of squashes. It is inclusive and delicious, and will give everyone one less thing to worry about as we instead focus on gratitude. A Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Dinner Menu Appetizer When folks are milling around before a meal, it's nice to put out appetizers that they can nibble on. Usually these are very sharable, so making sure they are safe for someone with celiac is essential. So don't put out anything that could lead to cross-contamination. Here is our favorite tried-and-true appy: Artichoke Dip This is so easy and delicious as not to be believed! Ingredients: 2 -3 cans of artichokes, cut into small pieces 1 red pepper, diced Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan, Muenster, and other cheeses of your liking Salt, pepper, onion flakes gluten-free crackers Directions: Spray a low casserole dish. In a bowl, mix in the cut artichokes, pepper, and pieces of cheeses. Add in the spices; only a little salt and more pepper, as the cheeses are usually salty and the artichokes could have been processed with some. Probably there will be salt on the crackers, so you don't want to kill this dish with it. Pour in the mixture into the casserole and heat until bubbly. Serve with only gluten free crackers or veggie sticks. . Part of the fun is dipping in a bowl together, so make sure if people double-dip that everyone is safe! Option: some people like to add spinach or cream cheese to their dip. It's not my way, but the popularity of spinach-artichoke dips conveys that it may be right for you! Soup Soup is warm, comforting, and sets the stage for what's to come. Here are two recipes from which you can choose that are sure to whet the whistle of people for dishes to come! Apple Kale Soup Apples are abundant in autumn, and I created this dish in desperation to use foods that I had in the fridge on a day when the chill started to go through my bones. As a child I didn't understand kale, but now know it's a flexible, healthy and friendly vegetable. Ingredients: 2-3 apples, peeled and sliced and diced 2/3 bag of fresh kale, or a hearty bunch cut into small pieces 1 purple onion, diced 1/3 pound of bacon (maple bacon is an especially good choice) 16 oz chicken broth (have another can handy if you want it) Salt, pepper Olive oil Plain nonfat yogurt Directions: Saute the onion and bacon in a little olive oil until they are brown and crispy. Add in a little broth, then the kale, which will shrink up immediately. Then add the apples in, along with the rest of the broth. Season with salt and pepper and let it simmer awhile on medium-low heat. I think a creamy looking soup is elegant, so I recommend spooning out the mixture into a food processor to make it smooth. Then return to the pan, adding more broth if you want. When that is done, add in the secret ingredient—plain yogurt. It will give it a creamy consistency and a little zing. You have to play with the amount of broth, yogurt and mixture to create a soup the consistency you like. It is an unusual soup that is tasty and sure to garner compliments. Gluten-Free Pumpkin Squash Soup In contrast to the previous soup recipe with is savory, this is a sweet soup recipe. Ingredients: 2 cans pumpkin 1 small diced onion 1 medium butternut squash, cubed 3 cups chicken broth 1 teaspoon butter 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour or cornstarch 2 Tablespoon brown sugar 1 cup + half-and-half Salt, pepper, ginger, cinnamon to taste Directions: Saute the onions and squash in butter. Mash the squash when it is soft. Add to the chicken broth and simmer. Stir in the canned pumpkin. Mix gluten-free flour/cornstarch, butter, sugar, and spices. Fold in cream last. Heat but do not boil. You can garnish with a few slivered almonds if you want. Salad While my mama had many culinary talents, the salads she made weren't her specialty, to say the least. Her "green" salad consisted of iceberg lettuce with tomatoes thrown on top, or we might enjoy a Waldorf salad that had red-delicious apples cut up, some celery and pecans that she mixed with Miracle Whip. It took me years to understand that salads could be the best part of a meal. Here are substitutions for what mama didn't know about! Diversity Salad Salads are most enjoyable with they contain a mixture of ingredients. You are the artist in the kitchen and get to decide what ingredients in what proportions. Here are our suggestions of items to consider: Baby spinach, romaine lettuce, and spring greens are the base of the salad, but don't rely on this to be the biggest ingredient. Using plenty of other vegetables will make every bite an experience, each mouthful different than the bite before. Add liberal amounts of carrots, tomatoes, onions, cucumber, and peppers, cut in various shapes and types. We love radishes, celery, sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and fresh mushrooms, but not everyone agrees. Avocado, beets and asparagus are other vegetables that may be questionable; while we like them, not everyone does. We are sensitive to the palate of our guests and modify the salad ingredients to please them. Leafy vegetables like kale, arugula, cabbage, chicory, watercress can make a salad interesting. Likewise, using fresh basil, cilantro, parsley and other herbs create tastes that give each salad a different flavor. Do you like roasted red peppers? Artichoke hearts? Banana pepper slices tossed into a salad can be delightful if you like that kind of spiciness. Olive varieties are endless. We recommend putting out different types of dressings so people have choice. For examples of easy and delicious dressings, there is a list for you to consider in our book Going Gluten Free. Waldorf Salad This salad can be anything but boring! The base: Toasted walnuts or pecans – toasting gives them a nice crunch that adds to the texture of the dish. Apples—I like flavorful crispy kinds, unpeeled so the color shines out. Red? Green? Combination? You choose! You also get to choose how to slice them. Hunks, thin slivers, slices—you're in charge. I rather like them slivered—they seem more delicate for an elegant meal. Directions: Celery—Cut it in slender shreds. Seedless Grapes or Dried Cranberries—Historically, grapes were the ingredient selected in the original Waldorf Astoria recipe. You can certainly keep tradition and use them. I like grapes to eat but not as fond of them in salads, so I prefer dried cranberries. I live in New England and using them at this time of year seems right. The dried berries add another texture and bright color to the dish. Optional: Some folks like to add thin sliced red or green peppers or even a few scallions. Dressing This is the make-or-break part of this salad. Mayonnaise is traditional, but today has been sidelined by the use plain yogurt or sour cream. Many people use a combination. I veer away from mayo in preference is a thinner, lighter dressing. Others add a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice mixed with a little honey. If you're into mustard, you may want to add a teaspoon, but no more or you will kill the dressing. It will need a little salt and pepper. Have handy some fresh mint leaves or parsley for garnish. Don't forget to serve it on some leafy lettuce. The lettuce bottom helps make the rest of the salad work even better! Main Dishes Turkey is by far the main dish at most Thanksgiving dinners. Every year, recipes seem to get more complex, like Turduckins or deep fried turkeys. Here is our recipe—it's simple, delicious, and healthy. Roasted Turkey Ingredients: Turkey Salt, pepper, paprika Butter Can of turkey/chicken broth Directions: Choose your turkey to your liking—some people like 20 pound birds with legs attached, others prefer a turkey breast and forgo the dark meat. Whatever you pick, you must decide whether to live the skin on or off. I always pull it off. It's an emotionally wrenching thing to do, but it's much healthier and makes for a tastier and prettier dish (in my opinion). I put the bird in a roasting pan that has some broth on the bottom. This keeps the bird moist as it cooks and it catches the natural juices and becomes the base for awesome gravy later on. Then I butter the bird a bit to enhance flavor and to help the spices stick. Heavily salt, pepper and add paprika to the exterior of the bird. There are many different types of paprika and some are quite spicy, so judge accordingly. Paprika makes the bird brown beautifully. Put a lid or aluminum foil over the bird and bake at 425F degrees for an hour or several more, depending on the size of the bird. This will enable the bird to cook through (nothing worse than raw poultry!) and not over-brown on top. After it appears that the bird is done on the inside, then remove the foil/lid and let it brown on top. You can baste it with some of the broth to keep it moist. When the bird is golden brown, you can take it out and eat it steaming hot. Add some corn starch, salt and pepper to the broth, whisk over medium heat, and make gravy to go on mashed potatoes if you like. This is a simple recipe that is sure to please! I was a vegetarian for two decades and know how awesome non-meat holiday dishes can be. Tofurky never quite worked for me. Here is one of our favorite dishes - but it's not safe for vegans because it contains both eggs and cheese. Sorry about that! We can't be all things to all people—but at least we are honestly transparent. Holiday Cheesy-Nut Delight Ingredients: 30 oz. cottage cheese 1 purple onion, diced 5 eggs 1 cup grated cheddar cheese 1 cup chopped walnuts 3-4 cups gluten-free corn flakes or rice krispies Butter Directions: Salt, pepper, A-1 sauce, optional dried minced onions or dried parsley Saute the onion in butter until transparent and lovely. In a bowl, add cottage cheese, eggs, cheddar, walnuts, a tablespoon of A-1 sauce, and spices to your liking. Then stir in the cooked onions. Finally, add in the cereal. The mixture should be moist but not runny. Poor it into a greased pan—you can make them into a loaf, muffins, or cook in a casserole pan. The size of the pan you use determine how long you will cook this dish. It should take around a half-hour for most size pans. The dish will be firm and browned, but don't overcook it or it will be dry. It cuts nicely when cool. If you want to make it look even fancier, you can drizzle a bechemal sauce over it with parsley garnish. This is a family favorite, and we hope you will enjoy it too. Chop 1 onion sauted in butter, add to mixture of eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, walnuts, salt, pepper, a T of A-1 and mix in 4 cups of gluten-free Corn Flakes. Baked in a greased pan at 350F degrees for an hour. Let sit 10 minutes uncovered before cutting. Stuffing What's Thanksgiving dinner without stuffing? Here's our version—tweak to your heart's content! Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Stuffing Ingredients: Leftover gluten free bread, any type, torn into small pieces Olive Oil Celery and Onion, cut into small pieces Chicken/turkey broth Salt, Pepper, Sage, Rosemary, Thyme, Parsley Butter Optional: Nuts (your choice), dried fruit (apricots, apples), sausage, or vegetables Directions: I gave up cooking the stuffing in the turkey ages ago. It turns out much better if you bake it in pan of its own. Saute until soft onion and celery in butter. Spray a cooking dish. In a bowl, mix the bread pieces, pour in the celery/onion mixture, add spices, and enough chicken broth to make it very moist. Add in whatever other ingredients you want. Personally, the simpler the better. Sometimes too much is overkill. Bake at 350 until it is firm with a light crust on top – then enjoy! Vegetables Let's face it—the sky's the limit when it comes to making amazing gluten-free vegetable dishes. I learned that color was important for a festive meal, so ours is white (potatoes), yellow (corn), orange (pumpkin), and red (cranberries or tomatoes in the salads). Instead doing green beans, broccoli, or asparagus—all that are awesome—we've given you a less familiar Brussel sprout recipe. Mashed Potatoes What could be easier? Scrape clean potatoes, cut them into hunks and toss them into boiling water until soft. Then mash. Add butter, milk, salt and pepper. Make more than you think you're going to need—they are going to disappear. Baked Corn Take 2 cans of gluten-free creamed corn, a can of whole kernel corn, drained, and mix them together in a bowl with 2-3 eggs, 1/3 cup corn starch, dried minced onion, salt and pepper and a smidge of butter. Pour into a greased casserole and bake until it is bubbly. Bacony-Delicious Brussel Sprouts Ingredients: Bacon Brussel sprouts Olive oil Salt/pepper Balsamic vinegar Parmesan cheese Directions: Cut the bacon into little pieces and fry them in olive oil. When brown, toss in the sprouts—slice the bigger ones. They will brown beautifully—you may want to put a lid on them for a few minutes to make sure they cook through and become soft. Then add salt, pepper, a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with parm cheese. These are bound to be a hit! Bread I'll be honest with you—as a child I learned to bake some of the most fantastic yeast wheat bread imaginable. gluten-free bread has, by far, been the hardest thing for me to recreate with satisfaction. My solution? Don't try to do it in a way that recreates child memories. Find a new way. You may be pleased with the result. Pumpkin Muffins This is my own concoction. As you may recall from our cooking model described in our book, Going Gluten Free, I don't measure ingredients. I work with them in a zen method until they seem to be right. So I'll give you my recipe, with the recommendation that you tweak it as your intuition dictates! Ingredients: 1 can pumpkin 1 1/2 c. gluten-free flour 1 c sugar ½ c. canola oil 2-3 eggs 1 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp baking soda Cinnamon Chocolate chips Directions: Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl, then pour into greased muffin tins. Make sure the tins are gluten-free safe. We have a special pan that nothing else goes in, and recommend you do the same. It's better to spray the muffin cups instead of using papers—the muffins actually come out much prettier. They rise high and are beautiful and tasty. These are our autumn delights! Fritters Ingredients: 3 c. gluten-free flour ½ c. canola oil + oil for cooking 1-2 eggs 1 tsp baking powder Salt Optional ingredients: sliced scallions, cheese, herbs, or whatever pleases you! Directions: Mix the ingredients together in a bowl while the oil heats in a skillet. Drop a large spoonful of the batter into the oil, and flip when it browns. When both sides are golden, remove and add more fritter batter into the pan. Serve hot with butter. They satisfy the need for bread without having to feel dissatisfied with trying to make a loaf and expect it to be like traditional wheat bread. Maybe one day the recipes and products will be there for that, but not today. This is a satisfactory substitute, to be sure! Dessert Every meal needs to end with a food that ritually signifies the meal is over. By this time, bellies are usually full and dessert needs to be symbolic more than substantive. It should look pretty and taste sweet. Here is the quintessential Thanksgiving dessert. Pumpkin Pie This is the traditional dessert and so easy to make. Gluten-Free Pie Crust: 1 can pumpkin 2/3 c. sugar 3 eggs 1 can evaporated milk Cinnamon, nutmeg Butter A tsp of corn starch Directions: The nice thing about making a gluten-free pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving dinner is that all the ingredients in the pie are naturally gluten-free, except for the pie crust. So follow the directions on the can for pie, or use the directions here. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and then put into a gluten-free crust (your choice of frozen or homemade) and bake until it is firm and beautiful. Don't burn it! It will firm up as it sits for a few minutes. Top with ice cream or whip cream, and maybe a garnish of chocolate or glazed nuts. Serve with coffee or tea, and enjoy the closing conversation. This meal should leave everyone feeling satiated and satisfied. What most people are grateful for at Thanksgiving is to just sit together with loved ones and share good conversation, laughter, and connection. What they eat isn't nearly as important as eating together. But with a menu like this, everyone can eat together and feel treated to a gourmet meal fit for a king. And it's fun to show nonbelievers how scrumptious Going Gluten Free can be!

  18. Celiac.com 11/12/2008 - It's not as hard as you might think! It's easy to start with the big items—a gluten-free turkey, gluten-free stuffing, gluten-free pumpkin pie, and of course, gluten-free gravy. All are easily achievable by the average home cook, and no one will be able to tell anything is different or unusual—just a lovingly prepared meal full of flavor. Order an organic turkey from New Seasons or Whole Foods in plenty of time, or choose a less expensive option such as Norbest, Riverside, or Honeysuckle White (my favorite). Some commercially produced turkeys contain gluten in the broth used to inject them full of flavorings, salt, and fat. It is important to avoid eating gluten with your conscientiously prepared meal by choosing a gluten-free turkey as your centerpiece. Check the label and it should say no MSG and no gluten on the front or under the nutrition label on the back. Season turkey with high quality herbs like sage, thyme, and rosemary, or go Latin with cumin, chilies, and lime, but forgo additional salt. Most turkeys are pre-salted—some excessively so. The turkeys I surveyed at my discount grocer ranged in Sodium Content/Serving from 160 mg. to 325 mg. Honeysuckle White, which I cooked at my Thanksgiving Prep class, had 200 mg. and I did not need to add any salt when cooking. It was moist, flavorful, and delicious. Gluten-free stuffing is easy, just buy or make the best gluten-free bread, cube it and dry in a low temperature oven. Angeline's bread, available locally here in the Pacific Northwest, makes excellent stuffing (it does contain milk powder). You can also make a wild rice/brown rice and dried cranberry pilaf style stuffing, which can be cooked separately, or used to stuff the bird. You can make terrific stuffing using my recipe for focaccia bread, available in my Thanksgiving Planner (see below). Use sweet rice flour to replace the traditional wheat flour in thickening gravy. If it's not quite thick enough you can add a little tapioca or potato starch. I’ll inject a note of caution here, for those folks with gluten-related bladder problems. If you still have a sensitive bladder, take it easy on the cranberry sauce. I know, it’s recommended to prevent bladder problems, but in reality, it is quite harsh on the bladders of those who already have them. You may be able to tolerate a little apple cider, though, and herb tea is a good option, especially some nettle leaf tea before you have dinner, whether it’s one you’re preparing or not—nettle leaf can help to minimize any food sensitivity reactions you may have, although it can’t prevent a reaction to gluten, so do maintain your gluten-free diet, and don’t be afraid to ask your host or hostess about ingredients. It’s best to do it before-hand rather than at the dinner table. Think about how relaxed you’ll be if you already have your game plan when you get to the table, and know exactly what you can eat, and which dishes you’ll need to politely pass on to the next guest. For pumpkin pie, all you really need to do is make a killer pie crust and make sure your filling is dairy free if necessary. You can substitute Earth Balance for regular margarine—it's gluten-free and dairy-free, or if you tolerate dairy products, use butter. Or, you can use oil to make pie crust. I’ll include recipes for both crusts, and the pies, here. To replace milk in your pumpkin custard for the pie, there are many options to choose from: rice, soy, almond, hazelnut, or hemp, but for extra richness, try coconut milk—it has a very mild taste and won't overwhelm the pumpkin flavor. I'm very happy with the recipe I included in my Thanksgiving Planner & Recipe Guide. Poached pears or other fruit make a lovely alternative to pie, especially when prepared with the finest ingredients and served in an attractive dessert bowl. I use my Mom’s retro 1940’s curvy glass bowl, which always brings back happy memories. No, I wasn’t actually around yet when she got the bowl!

TWO GLUTEN-FREE PIE CRUSTS Tender Gluten-Free Pie Crust (Adapted from Karen Robertson) Ingredients: 1 ¼ cup gluten-free flour blend (+ up to 1 tablespoon more as needed) ¼ cup tapioca starch ¼ cup potato starch 1 ½ teaspoon guar gum or 1 ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum, not both 2 teaspoons fructose 9 tablespoons Earth Balance Vegan margarine or shortening* 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk 1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar or cold water (if using shortening, add ½ teaspoon salt) Directions: Mix together dry ingredients, then cut in margarine or shortening carefully until there are no lumps larger than pea-size. Beat together the eggs, and water or vinegar. Make a well in dry ingredients and add egg and liquid mixture, stirring carefully with fork to combine. When dough is just barely beginning to hold together, turn out onto a floured surface and flatten and fold, and flatten and fold again. Do not overwork dough. Roll out carefully between wax paper. Remove top sheet of wax paper, and invert crust into pan. Using wax paper, press crust into pan and form, then remove wax paper. Use a similar technique for top crust if using. SOY-FREE, EGG-FREE OIL-BASED PIE CRUST (Adapted from Betty Hagman’s recipe)Ingredients: 1 cup gluten-free flour blend ½ cup potato starch ½ cup sweet rice flour 3 teaspoons xanthan gum 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons fructose 3 tablespoons cold rice milk 2/3 cup vegetable oil Directions: Mix together all dry ingredients, then mix together rice milk and oil. Make well in dry ingredients and add rice milk/oil mixture, stirring gently with fork to combine. Proceed as directed in previous recipe. PUMKIN PIE (Gluten-Free) Choose either one of the pie crust dough and make as directed. Place in pie plate, and carefully cover inside of crust with foil. Fill pie crust with dried beans or rice, and pre-bake crust about 10 minutes at 350. When edges are set, remove foil and beans, and bake another 5 minutes, or until bottom crust is beginning to crisp slightly. Here’s the filling: This makes enough for two 8 inch pies, so if you’re only doing one, cut it in half. Filling Ingredients: 2 15-ounce cans of pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, or 1 29-ounce can of pumpkin 4 whole eggs 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour blend 1 teasoon sea salt 1 teasoon cinnamon ¼ teasoon cloves ½ teasoon allspice 1 teasoon ginger ½ cup fructose 1/3 cup dark agave syrup 2 teasoons vanilla extract 2/3 cup full fat (not light) coconut milk 2/3 cup unsweetened rice or almond milk Directions: If making only half the recipe, you can make this in the blender, which is very quick and easy, and also makes it easier to pour into the crust. The full recipe will exceed the capacity of most blenders. Mix all ingredients together in large mixing bowl, in approximately the order they are listed. Blend until thoroughly mixed. Pour into pre-baked pie shell, and bake for fifty minutes at 325. Remember to reduce oven temperature after pre-baking the pie shells. Check for doneness every 5 minutes thereafter, by inserting a paring knife into the pie; it should come out clean. FOCACCIA BREAD WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS Prepare liquid ingredients in a small bowl: 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon fructose 1 tablespoon agave syrup 1/3 cup vegetable oil (light tasting olive oil works well) 2 eggs + 1 egg white at room temperature, or equivalent egg substitute (Ener-G foods, or flax seed & boiling water – beaten with fork until foamy) 1 ¾ cups warm milk substitute (rice milk etc.) (110-115 degrees) …and prepare dry ingredients in separate bowl, combining with whisk 1 package active dry yeast (equiv. to 1 tablespoon) + 1 teaspoon yeast 1 teaspoon fructose 3 ¼ cups all purpose baking mix (2 parts brown rice flour, 1 part sorghum flour, 1 part tapioca starch, ½ part potato starch) ¼ cup teff flour ¾ cup amaranth flour 4 teaspoons guar gum 1 ½ teaspoons salt ¾ teaspoon garlic powder Directions: Combine all wet ingredients and beat together with whisk. Add flour mixture all at once, stirring on low until combined. Increase speed to medium and beat for 3 full minutes. Let dough rest in bowl, covered with towel for 10 minutes, and it will firm up slightly. Wash and dry hands, then coat with gluten-free cooking spray. Scoop 2 equal portions of dough onto prepared pizza pans, sprayed lightly with cooking spray. Pat dough into smooth round, and begin to work dough out into a round about ½” thick and about 10 inches in diameter. When dough begins to stick to hands, rinse hands in warm water, shake it off, then continue to spread dough. When dough reaches desired shape and size, use fingers to lightly dimple dough, and sprinkle lightly with granulated garlic. Cover with towel, and place in warm, draft-free place to rise for 40 minutes. Preheat oven to 375F and bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove bread from oven and brush with olive oil - add caramelized* onions and return to oven for an additional 10-15 minutes. *To caramelize onions, place 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat, Add 2 cups sliced sweet onions; cook slowly, stirring often until softened and taking on dark caramel color. This cooking process basically released the sugars from the onions. You can add a little water, wine, or chicken broth to prevent sticking to bottom of pan. Also be sure to scrape bottom of pan well each time you stir during cooking.
