Are you on a limited, allergen-free diet but want to enjoy Thanksgiving with delicious baked goods and foods you would normally eat on a “regular diet”?
You’re in luck! Because I’ve created an allergen-free menu plan for Thanksgiving.
It is a yummy and beautiful menu plan for Thanksgiving day that is free of the following food allergens:
no dairy - (butter is used but alternatives are given)
no gluten – all grains and products containing gluten
limited grains – There is a recipe for wild rice stuffing for people who can eat rice. All desserts are grain-free.
no sugar - only natural sweeteners are used, such as raw honey and maple syrup
Grain and Gluten-free Pumpkin Pie with Coconut Crust
no soy – no soybean oil, lecithin, and other soy products
limited starches - there is a regular mashed potatoes recipe as well as a mashed cauliflower recipe for people who can’t eat starch or nightshades.
no corn
no beans and legumes
egg-free options - there are two egg free desserts and many other egg-free options
What kinds of foods will be used:
Meat, eggs, vegetables (non-starchy), nuts, seeds, fruit, honey, coconut, and other whole food ingredients.
UPDATE on MENU! Here is the Final Menu Planner menu. You will find there is plenty to choose from for your specific diet. I don’t expect you’ll make all these desserts, but I am sure you will find one that you’ll LOVE!
