Gluten Free Tips for Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving is just days away and it can be frustrating trying to come up with GF options especially if you are serving a large group.  Keeping it simple is the easiest way to accommodate everyone.  Yes, there will be a few item's that may not be for our GF belly's but we can still enjoy a bountiful Thanksgiving meal.


Here are a few tips to help guide you this holiday season:


1.  Purchase a turkey that is 100% GF.  Yes some manufactures use gluten when they process the turkey.  Check your ingredients on the packaging when buying your bird.


2.  Stuffing it can become pricey so you may want to just make a small amount to accommodate your GF guests.  Purchase two loaves of GF bread and substitute it for regular bread when making stuffing.

3.  Remember there are plenty of GF deserts and goodies that everyone can enjoy.  


Shop natural products (most have no gluten).  A great Thanksgiving doesn't mean having to stress to make a great meal.  Be creative and best of all enjoy your holiday.


HAPPY TURKEY DAY TO ALL MY LOYAL FOLLOWERS AND THOSE WHO JUST STOP BY.

Great News From Seasons Pizza

Getting tired of going out for pizza?  Going out for GF pizza getting boring?  I received an email the other day from Season's Pizza.  They now offer GF entree's at their Route 202 location in Wilmington.  Choose from favorites like GF Lasagna, GF Chicken Parmigiana, even a GF Calzone.  Some of the entrées come with a side salad and a role.  Here's the link https://seasons-concord.foodtecsolutions.com/menu?category=Gluten+Free+Item
I will also post more once I have been and tasted these yummy dishes.

I Know....

It's been months since I last wrote my blog.  Ya'll must think of me as a failure to the Gluten Free Community.  But I haven't forgotten my loyal followers.  I've been out eating tasty GF goodies but just needed to find the time to write.

I have found this amazing little pizza place up in Kennett Square, PA.  Baretta's Pizza (739 W. Cypress St, Kennett Square, PA 610-925-5540).  They offer gluten free pizza, sandwiches made on GF bread and also  GF pasta entry's.  Delightful.  Oh the GF pizza (ham and onion) and the Roast Beef sandwich on GF bread are heavenly.

I have also come across a new GF line of goodies by a company called Schär (www.schar.com/us).  They make a full line of cookies, breads, pastas and so much more.  I love their sub rolls and sandwich bread, their spagetti and most recently their shortbread cookies.  OMG!!!  They're fantastic.  I ate almost a whole bag in one evening.

If you like beer as much as I do you can go out and have a GF beer at Two Stones Pub in Newark, DE which offers the choice of four different GF beers (3 beers were by Green's Gluten Free Beers, the Amber, Dubbel and the Tripel).  I love the Dubbel.

So I promise I will be writing more.  I am still on a mission to find great GF food at your local supermarkets and out at great eateries.

So in the words of the great Julia Childs, I say "Bon Appetit" and in the words of the great Bonnie Bleacher "DIG IN!"
