Specific Thanksgiving Recipes

I know there have been a couple threads on here about a gluten-free Thanksgiving. I'm looking for a couple recipes and I haven't really found any that are really what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for:

a cornbread stuffing recipe-never made cornbread stuffing but I figure it'll be easier for a gluten-free stuffing.

pumpkin pie

pie crust

another kind of Thanksgiving dessert

gravy-exact measurements?

I'm completely stuck when it comes to gluten-free rolls. Should I bake some or buy some? I'm the only one in my family that is gluten-free so I don't want to put my family through a ton of trouble. Do you have any brand suggestions for mixes or already made rolls? I'm really worried about Thanksgiving to tell you the truth. I don't think I'll be able to eat much that will be there and I'm not a huge meat eater so I don't want to make myself a whole turkey. I'm just completely dumbstruck. Any help?

If you have to make/bring your own turkey, consider a breast only. They are fairly large so you'll get plenty and some leftovers. They cook is less time, but they are more expensive than turkeys-don't remember if it was per pound or as a whole but I remember them being more expensive. You could also roast a bone-in-skin on chicken breast. I don't like skin but it helps hold in the moisture- takes about 20 min. That would be tasty with some stuffing on the side.

Here's the recipe to my favorite pumpkin cheesecake. Other good recipes - Open Original Shared Link

my favorite pumpkin cheesecake recipe, which I made last year and others on the board did as well. I was the only Celiac at T-G and they loved it. It is actually very easy, because the ONLY substitution is for the graham cracker crumbs....the rest is naturally gluten free.

I would suggest a sweet-potato pie. Just use any pumpkin pie recipe and sub sweet-p for the pumpkin. I usually just go by feel and taste, but a rough idea of what I use is;

1-1/2 to 2 cups sweet potato mash

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 stick butter

3 eggs

1 tsp each of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice

1/2 cup or so of sugar, to taste.

Sometimes I'll throw in some molasses. Makes it nice and dark and extra sweet

If you imbibe, I also suggest adding a couple tablespoons of rum.

Not lo-cal by any means, but definitely tasty.

For crust I like Annalise Robert's recipe, but any will do. I like the ginger cookie idea here, and that is what I am going to try next.

These are some good roll recipes:

I also like Pamela's bread mix made into rolls.

I made that no-bake pumpkin cheesecake that PURPLE posted (from recipezaar) with gluten-free cinnamon snaps (mi-del) for a party last weekend, it was a MAJOR hit!

PS For gravy, I just read the directions on the corn starch box. ARGO is labeled gluten free.

I once found a yummy gluten free, dairy free pumpkin custard recipe online, not 100% sure where, but I usually get my recipes from allrecipes.com so I'll probably head there again for it this year.

I have a deadly-delish gluten-free peanutbutter cookie/bar recipe that I found on the above site. I posted an gluten-free apple-pie in the recipe forum, I'm too lazy to pull up the link, sorry <<sheepish grin>>

I usually load up on the potatoes, sweet potatoes, veggies, salads and desserts since I'm also not a fan of turkey :) mmmmm food coma, hehe. Being overseas, I miss out a bit on all this, and dh doesn't understand how it's a big deal! He'll see when we move to the states, turkey time!

If you are cooking your own poultry pieces, like missy's mom suggested, if you combine the breast, some potatoes, carrots, zuchinni, and/or any veggies you like, a bit of water, spices and bake in either an oven bag or covered in foil, it keeps the moisture in the chicken/turkey. I have also made chicken on rice in the oven and it came our super moist and yummy!

gobble gobble everyone!

You may already be familiar with this site, but if not, here's a link to a blog called "A Year of CrockPotting" (all gluten free recipes); she's posted several Thanksgiving recipes, and this is her cornbread stuffing:

She also has a recipe for regular bread stuffing (gluten-free bread). You don't have to use a crockpot to make the stuffings, of course.

Our posts were lost...Many people just use the recipe on the back of the Libby's pumpkin can for pie.

Hey guys,

I need the best recipe for Dressing. I see the one above but I want to cook it in the oven so it will be crunchy.

Also.. does anyone know if it's better to make a cake from scratch or buy a boxed one?

If you know of a good box of yellow cake mix let me know!

Thanks

      I never buy any nuts from a facility that processes wheat.  It’s not worth the risk.  Surprisingly, Trader Joe’s nuts do not come a factory that processes wheat, and I do not react to them.  I am sensitive to gluten.

      If all testing is now completed you may want to let your doctor know that you are starting a gluten-free diet. If you symptoms go away on the diet it is further confirmation that you may have celiac disease, and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      As long as the B Comlex is gluten-free, it should be helpful to you, especially since you're recently diagnosed and your villi are in the recovery process. You may need to look at further supplements as well, and it's a good idea for your doctor to check levels for many nutrients to see what deficiencies you might have. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      How long ago were you diagnosed? There are many symptoms and issues for those who are newly diagnosed, and recovery can take a while. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

      As I mentioned before I’m pretty new to this. I’m about a month into being completely gluten-free. But I’m still having issues with fatigue, loss of appetite, and gas pain. I’ve started taking the B complex, and was hopeful, but that would help me get past especially the fatigue and the loss of appetite. But now I just read a more recent post where somebody is saying that the B complex is not necessarily good for us?  I was very comfortable with the B complex because our bodies shed excess B vitamins. But now I just looked it up and B vitamins can cause gas and bloating.  As I mentioned, that’s one of my biggest symptoms, and I also think it’s directly connected to my loss of appetite, which, of course is connected to my fatigue.  I’m so confused I don’t really know what to do now?
