Wheat & gluten free Thanksgiving
It's Thanksgiving. Traditionally a time for family and turkey with all the trimmings. But what about a wheat free or gluten free Thanksgiving? Do you have to miss out because you have a wheat allergy or intolerance, or are a coeliac?
No. Everything for a traditional Thanksgiving lunch or dinner can be reproduced in a wheat or gluten free version. Nobody needs to miss out, and nobody will know the difference (if you don't tell them).
