thanksgiving
It’s the most important day of the year for eating, and those of us following a gluten-free or low FODMAP diet should not be left out!Â
If you're looking for Thanksgiving recipes, look no further. Two of my favorites for a Thanksgiving buffet are these spinach mashed potatoes and this gluten-free wild rice salad that’s livened up with roasted squash and a bright ginger dressing. Finally, no turkey is complete without this shallot and rosemary gluten-free gravy that’s been my mother’s contribution to the holiday for decades. Stuffing has always been my addition, and this low FODMAP sheet pan stuffing is such a crowd pleaser.
