IN THE KITCHEN WITH GINNY GOLD

THANKSGIVING DINNER MENU

How many dietary variations do you have to serve at Thanksgiving? My extended family has everything from vegetarian (me) to gluten free (my mother-in-law) to kids who are picky and others who eat everything. Here’s what Kori made that would certainly satisfy any large gathering:

Turkey
Stuffing

Herbed stuffing from old bread—make it gluten free with a simple substitution of a gluten free loaf!
Cornbread stuffing

Homemade cranberry sauce
Gravy—make it gluten free with cornstarch or gluten free flour!
Buttery mashed potatoes
Butternut squash and apples—plan ahead and buy local in October!
Creamy Brussels sprout—find these at a local farmer’s market well into the fall!
Glazed Carrots
Spoon bread
—more delicious than dinner rolls!
Pumpkin pie
—skip the crust and it’s gluten free!
Apple pie

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Ginny Gold lives in the high Rockies and wouldn’t trade it for the world. She loves anything outdoors—especially skiing, cycling, and gardening, though living at over 9,000 feet does make for a short growing season. You can also find her volunteering with local nonprofits and schools when she’s not cooking up her next cozy mystery for her loyal readers.
