GFCF & Gluten Free Thanksgiving Tips, Menus, and Recipes

So, by now you may have read that I'm making my son a separate but "normal" (for him) Thanksgiving meal and not going hog-wild. I just know that the time and energy I'd put into making him a complete T-day feast is better spent on enjoying the family because he won't eat foods that are all that unfamiliar to him. I do feel kind of like Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving except even his feast that day wasn't GFCF!

That being said, I have been able to find quite a bit of advice out there on preparing Thanksgiving gluten & casein free and some intriguing recipes that are just too good to go unmentioned.

Start your meal here: please note, some of these may only be gluten free not also casein free - depending on your eliminations use your judgement with ingredients

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Turkey Day to you and your family :) I think it is absolutely wonderful that you cook GFCF for your little guy. His Thanksgiving meal sounds pretty darn good :) This is a great round-up -- the more information we can share with each other, the better!

My son just wants his regular stuff too - he won't touch anything that's not crunchy or chewy and I'm just happy he will eat the stuff he will!

Melinda @ 5 Minutes for Special Needs has been posting some great Thanksgiving themed recipes in her weekly GFCF food column.

Thanks for the info. I am still debating trying the GFCF diet, so I am compiling all the info I find so that when I am brave enough to start the diet, I will know where to start.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too dear!!

I just got my first Troll!! Yaay me. He commented on "Jellyfish in the Baby Pool". Care to come help defend my honor? He called me a ridiculous ('cept he can't spell), over-reacting mother. Well, yeah!!! That's my JOB! ;)
