My Wheatless Thanksgiving...
Happy Thanksgiving! Just wanted to share a couple of pictures of my plate with you this evening -- with no wheat or grains on it -- and more importantly, I didn't feel deprived whatsoever. I prepared a regular Thanksgiving dinner for the rest of my family -- with many different dishes and it was not difficult for me at all to avoid those since I had my own delicious items available just for me, too. On my plate below, I have roasted turkey breast, green beans w/ almonds, Herbed Grain Free Stuffing, Cheddar Cauliflower Mash & Yellow Cheddar Squash Casserole and it was absolutely delicious. I am having my crustless pumpkin pie for dessert along with a cup of pumpkin spice coffee. I must say, my first wheatless Thanksgiving was awesome! :-)
I actually think wheat less is SO much better. Before I would have felt guilty eating the pie and now I can eat everything yummy and still eat the pie with NO guilt. Sweet! Nice plate GG! Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Trina! Happy Thanksgiving to you too! :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your Thanksgiving success! I included your stuffing in our feast and it was the bomb! (I did my family no special favors and it was grain/sugar free feast for all) I really appreciate you sharing your recipes here - I never would have figured out the bread stuffing.
ReplyDeletethanks again gg
Thanks so much Ally! I am so glad you liked it! I chickened out this year and made a few different items just for me this year and the usual stuff for the rest of the family. The only dish everyone shared was my Yellow Cheddar Squash Casserole -- and they all loved it...so I hope to make it all grain/sugar free for everyone next Thanksgiving! Again, I am so glad you liked it! Thanks! :-)
