Got real excited when I saw the caption of "Sometning for Everyone" and was hoping for some special diet recipes. And there they were — just not the one I was loking for. Maybe next time, you can include a gluetin free item.
for gluten free ideas, "Living Without" magazine is really good.
great recipes
Check out a website called glutenfreebetty dot com. Her red velvet cake will make you cry, it's that good! The key is using super finely ground brown rice flour. Also an excellent cook book for baked goods is "Easy Gluten Free Baking" by Elizabeth Barbone. I have made many of her recipes all very good. There is even one for Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I completely agree with @hewg07. I have been diagnosed with celiac's for 4 years and have sent emails and comments to food network repeatedly, to no avail. Now I follow a few good blogs and go at cooking with a different sort of creative fervor. I still watch food network but it has lost some luster since they refuse to make endroads towards gluten free living.
I always make my Thanksgiving pies with New Morning's organic graham crackers. They're all natural with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives – yet still delicious. http://www.attunefoods.com/products/New-Morning-O…
Crumb Cake Creations is offering $2 off per order of two or more cakes with coupon code THANKS. Their pumpkin crumb cake is absolutely to die for and has been a part of my Thanksgiving Dessert assortment for a few years now. Check them out..you won't be disappointed.
