Thanksgiving may be my favorite holiday.
I am a thankful person and I love to celebrate with my loved ones.
And….. I love food.
Thanksgiving for me is just like Christmas without the stress of presents. It’s not that I don’t love Christmas or presents. I just love a festive day with family that doesn’t involve shopping for them all. LOL. I know, I can feel the emails coming – we need to just ditch the gifts – play Dirty Santa and let it go.
You probably have some favorite foods you make for Thanksgiving, but I wanted to share all my favorites in case you were searching for some fresh ideas.
If the recipe says “Premium” – it means that recipe is part of my Members Section. If you haven’t considered a membership, you should! It’s great. It’s about a dollar a week and you will get access to everything on the site. All the videos (yes- bread-making videos are live), recipes, homesteading, healthy living, eBooks, guides and even a peek behind the scenes here at my place. I am pouring myself into the premium members section & new content is added almost daily. Go here to learn more.

11/21/2017*Drool….* Alright, this is NOT the site to be looking up recipes for my family’s assorted medical needs. Interlocking substitutions for multiple food allergies/restrictions gets nuts! By the time I finish “fixing” these recipes I’ll have like… one or two ingredients still the same.
Still – I’m getting some great ideas from the pictures!

11/22/2017I am sooooo sorry! I know I am not a good source for allergy cooking. 🙁 I am considering adding some paleo meals in the future, because I know that helps many people.
I’m glad you got some inspiration – Happy Thanksgiving!
XO,
