Grain Free, Dairy Free Thanksgiving Recipe Round-Up

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I realize I should have posted this sooner, but if you are looking for some last minute grain-free, gluten-free, paleo and primal friendly Thanksgiving recipe ideas, I’ve collected a few from around the web that look great.

Plus, if you are looking for a side dish, I’m including my Roasted Caramelized Onions and Brussels Sprouts recipe below. I’ve made it the last several years for Thanksgiving and it’s always a huge hit.

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Pizza, plus a Diet Modification

It looks like for the next month or so I am going to have to go back to a strict anti-inflammatory/anti-allergen diet. I’ve had a few symptoms recur related to my food allergies and I need to give my body time to heal. So for the next few months hopefully I can give those of you on a strict diet some ideas of what to eat…as I learn myself!  It sure does take a lot of creativity to eat this way.  What’s on the menu for me this week includes a simple Greek style lentil soup, a version of my Turkey Nori Wrap, a veggie stir-fry made with Sea Tangle Kelp Noodles, an eggless turkey meatloaf, and Teff Banana Pancakes from the Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Among the things I’m avoiding: gluten and dairy (of course), tomatoes, potatoes, eggs, peanuts, corn, cane sugar and processed things. Those are the biggies!
