My Favorite Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Dinner Recipes!

We happily celebrate Thanksgiving in our house - twice. Thank you Canada and US for allowing us to celebrate both in October AND November.  We're twice as grateful (and probably twice as rolly-polly, too).   In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving #2, here's a list of a bunch of my favorite recipes that I enjoy choosing from for Thanksgiving meals!  Sometimes it's nice to just have them all in one location!  Happy cooking!!! 
This Thanksgiving meal included stuffed mushrooms, an all-veggie stuffing (just cooked the veggies in butter and spiced like stuffing - yum!), and homemade GF French bread slices. 
Some happy eaters, ready for pie!  (left to right, chocolate, pumpkin-maple, lemon meringue, coconut cream, apple galette, maple tart, pumpkin spice cake in the center) *This is from Thanksgiving #2*
Gluten-free Delicious Thanksgiving Desserts - the best part, right? (lemon meringue, apple galette, chocolate, and pumpkin pies!) *Thanksgiving #1*
A tasty thanksgiving feast included roast vegetables, green beans, and stuffing. 

My Favorite Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Dinner Recipes!

Gluten Free Appetizers:

Vegetable or Fruit Platters - just go with what you love and arrange it nicely.
Cheese & GF Crackers Platter (There are plenty of nice store-bought GF crackers, or you can make your own Homemade Rice Crackers)
Spinach Artichoke Dip
My Dad's Favorite Shrimp Dip
Steamed Artichokes w/ butter
Pumpkin Soup
Butternut Squash Soup
A spread for a small Thanksgiving - rolls, cranberry-pumpkin bread, tomatoes & fresh basil (thanks to my neighbor, turkey, gravy, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cornbread stuffing, cranberry sauce). Yum! *Thanksgiving #1*
If only I'd taken the picture BEFORE we had all served ourselves. But it was too tempting to dig in!  *Thanksgiving #2 - how were we still hungry after Thanksgiving#1?*

Gluten Free Main Dishes:

Whole Roast Turkey, Turkey Stock/Broth & Gravy 

Homemade Cornbread Stuffing Recipe and/or Cornbread with honey butter (you can make stuffing without bread by sautéing mixed diced vegetables (some good options to mix together: onions, broccoli, carrots, green cabbage, red cabbage, jacama, green bell pepper, radish, celery) in butter and adding the same thyme and sage spices as in the cornbread stuffing recipe!) 

Mashed Potatoes (boil, drain, and mash with butter, milk, salt & pepper)
Mashed Sweet Potatoes (boil, drain, and mash with butter, milk, salt & pepper, and other herbs, if desired - like rosemary, oregano)
Au Gratin Potatoes
Our Family Punch Recipe (great for all ages!)

Little arms awaiting the pies!  Plus fresh fruit and some yummy meringues my neighbor brought along. Yum!  Here we have an apple galette, lemon meringue pie, pumpkin pie, and chocolate pudding pie. 

Gluten Free Thanksgiving Desserts:

Apple Galette


Chocolate Pudding Pie - make and cook a buttermilk pastry pie crust. Fill with rich & creamy chocolate pudding made with 1/4 - 1/2 cup less milk.  Press plastic wrap to top of pudding, and let cool/refrigerate until serving.  

Another shot of dessert - because it's our favorite!  *Thanksgiving #1*
