Is anyone else freaking out that Thanksgiving is THIS WEEK? I went to the store this weekend and I wondered why it was so nuts. And then I realized…dear God, Thanksgiving is THIS WEEK. HELP I’m planning a gluten-free Thanksgiving and I have NOTHING READY! I put together a ton of links that will help you out, from the main meal to dessert. Hopefully, this helps you as much as it is going to help me!
EMOTIONAL HELP
Yes, we all need to understand how to work with friends and family this Thanksgiving. There will probably be jokes made at your expense. There will probably be people offering unsafe people. There will probably be at least one person that says, “oh just having a bite won’t hurt.” Learn how to navigate this and other challenges.

I put together a piece for Gluten Free & More magazine called Holiday Hotspots – where gluten can be hiding in your holiday meal. You might want to print this out or email your Thanksgiving host or hostess right now!

PIES PIES PIES

I highly recommend you heading to Whole Foods (if you’re on the west coast) and getting Raised Gluten Free pies, available both in the bakery section and the frozen gluten-free pie area. If all else fails, you can probably find Katz gluten-free pies if you don’t feel like making them yourself.
