Planning a gluten-free Thanksgiving can be super overwhelming. Trust me – I know this firsthand. November is quickly approaching so that means preparing our menu (and our stomachs) for Thanksgiving. But planning a gluten-free menu can be an unsettling task.
I for one was gluten-free for many many years, and that often meant skipping my favorites – the rolls, and the stuffing.
But, if you have someone coming to your house for Thanksgiving dinner, it really isn’t that hard to plan a gluten-free Thanksgiving for your gluten-free dinner guest.
Blessedly, these delectable and easy recipes can help you execute a gluten-free Thanksgiving dinner flawlessly.
Whether you are expecting all of your extended family and some friends, or just cooking for your immediate family, these 15 recipes have all your gluten-free Thanksgiving needs covered.
From the Thanksgiving classics such as pumpkin pie and mashed sweet potatoes to beet salad and stuffed acorn squash, these 15 gluten-free Thanksgiving recipes are sure to impress your guests. And guess what? I even have a gluten-free Thanksgiving stuffing recipe on the list. My favorite.
There is nothing worse than going to a relative’s house for Thanksgiving dinner, and realizing that you can’t eat half of what is on the menu because you are gluten-free. To be honest, I always cooked my own favorite butternut squash casserole recipe so that I could still have a gluten-free Thanksgiving recipe I loved.
But, for many years, I missed out on my husband’s amazing rolls he makes from scratch, and my favorite – the beloved stuffing.
So, that’s why I thought it would be helpful for others heading into a gluten-free Thanksgiving with dread to find a new favorite recipe that will satisfy you at Thanksgiving dinner this year. Here are 15 recipes you’ll love.
