From making the turkey, mashing the potatoes, to making stuffing and yummy pies, Thanksgiving starts the stressful season. Then you add dietary restrictions and it becomes more challenging.
You need to watch for cross contamination, and have something for everyone who will be with you on that day. Here are a few tips to help you on this day and any other holiday dinner.
1. Bring a dish. If you have guests with restrictions, ask them to bring a dish or two that fits their needs that all can enjoy. If that is not possible, ask them for a recipe and make it for them.
2. Substitute, ingredients to fit all needs. Use gluten free bread crumbs, or stuffing. Most of the time, you can not even tell the difference. Use gluten free broth, and depending on the food restriction, use almond milk or nut flours.
3.Use plenty of vegetables, no matter what the restriction, all will enjoy them. Make them as side dishes that all can enjoy.
4. Not everything has to be made from scratch, if need be buy a gluten free cake or pie. You can even buy a turkey or stuffing made to order.
Remember its not all about the food, be grateful you have family and friends to sit and enjoy with.
