Can you have a gluten-free Thanksgiving? Really?

I have people ask me this question a lot.  I mean, what about the stuffing, the pie, the rolls?? What in the world do you eat? How do you survive the holiday??  Here's one way to survive http://www.delightglutenfree.com/how-to-survive-the-holidays-being-gluten-free#.UnvQa6XhF96

Another way is to start getting creative! There are so many more products out today than even last year, that can help you experience some of the same traditional food you might be used to.  I am going to list off some of those foods and attach links so you can view and decide if you want to try them or not.

I don't know about you, but I'm beginning to feel just a tad overwhelmed with all of this! So, I'm going to save the pie recipes for another day.  I have a feeling you're going to be very busy with the links I've posted!

I do hope you've had a great gluten-free day and please feel free to ask questions, leave comments or just say "Hi!"  Thanks so much!

Watch out for gluten-free scammers!

I follow GlutenDude on facebook.  He usually has some pretty helpful information.  Especially for newbies to the gluten-free world.  Here's one that I really felt like I needed to share.  Please take the time to read this short blog and be careful who you give your money to!

Websites, websites and websites!!

I'm guessing (if you read the title) that you'll know what I'm posting today!  Yep, a few websites for you to look around at.  The first one is about drinking coffee. http://www.celiac.com/articles/23445/1/Cautions-for-Coffee-and-Caffeine-Drinkers/Page1.html 

Now don't hate me for posting this, please! Remember, I'm just the messenger!  And to make up for that article, how about this one http://food52.com/recipes/24791-gluten-free-dinner-rolls  or even this one http://glutenfreehomemaker.com/gluten-free-pumpkin-recipes-2/?utm_source=buffer&utm_campaign=Buffer&utm_content=buffer46997&utm_medium=facebook.

And I can't forget this one! http://www.glutenfreesaver.com/king-arthur-flour-deal.html  What a great deal for this month!! This is a great product, too!

And then, just in case any of you are suffering with hormone issues, like me, here's this one http://www.sheletthemeatcake.com/2013/11/7-ways-to-improve-your-hormonal-health-today/


Now is the time that you give yourself a chance to look around at these websites and then share them with those you know that are dealing having to live the gluten-free life! It doesn't have to mean no yummy tasting food!! And if you know someone recently diagnosed with say, Celiac or even gluten-intolerance, why not purchase the King Arthur flour for them? Now that's a grand idea!!

Hope you're having a great gluten-free day!!

See you again soon!
