Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be all about that big bird in the middle of your dinner table. This year, we’ll be making meatless options a bigger focus on our menu. But I will miss the wishbone!


Giving Thanks For Cranberries

They're chock full of antioxidants. They help fight everything from heart disease to ulcers. They might just be the healthiest jellied stuff that's shaped like a can.





Delicious, Allergen-Free Turkey Day

Delicious, Allergen-Free Turkey DayPosted by Cybele Pascal on November 14, 2006 - 5:52am.

Thanksgiving is a food-centric, hedonistic, gustatory orgy. We gather and we eat for upwards of four hours, all the way from pre-dinner snacks to post-dessert dessert. But a traditional Thanksgiving dinner is literally one of the most allergen-laden meals possible. Whether this is your first allergen-free Thanksgiving or your twentieth, the following tips will help make it festive, mouthwateringly delicious, and safe.




Allergen-free Cornbread and Wild Mushroom Stuffing

Allergen-free Skillet Cornbread

Cooking cornbread in a hot cast iron skillet gives it that coveted crust on the outside.  This cornbread tastes just like my Southern grandmothers', but it's vegan, allergen-free, and gluten-free!  Make it for the holidays, or any old time!

2/3 cup white rice flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1/3 cup tapioca flour (I use Ener-G)
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. aluminum-free baking powder
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 3/4 cups oat milk * or rice milk




Ice Cream: Make Mine Cream Free

Ice Cream: Make Mine Cream FreePosted by Kerry Trueman on November 25, 2005 - 10:44am.

Homemade ice cream is a piece of cake to make if you’ve got the right machine. We lucked out a few years back and found a secondhand Italian gelato machine with a built-in compressor; you don’t have to keep it in the freezer, and it makes perfect ice cream every time. Best $60 we ever spent (they cost about $400 new, unfortunately; it will be a tragic day if I ever burn out the motor with my incessant ice-cream making.)




A Cavalcade of Carbs

A Cavalcade of CarbsPosted by Kerry Trueman on November 24, 2005 - 2:05pm.

I hate to rain on Dr. Atkin’s high protein parade, but the addition of Mr. Potato Head and the Pillsbury Doughboy to this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade line-up suggests that carbs are making a comeback.

Mr. Potato Head’s reputation as a starchy, high glycemic index mascot necessitated a total makeover for his Macy’s debut.

Al Roker, who is, of course, half the man he was thanks to the magic of stomach stapling, emphasized the new persona the U.S. Potato Board has created by licensing Hasbro’s signature spud and transforming him into “The Healthy Mr. Potato Head,” complete with his own water bottle and running shoes. OK, we get it; this spud’s no couch potato.

Poppin’ Fresh, on the other hand, appeared on the Pillsbury Holiday Lovin’ Oven float surrounded by cinnamon rolls, chocolate chip cookies and other baked goods that did not exactly exude any whole grain goodness. The icing on the cake? American Idol’s Carrie Underwood, bursting into song on the oversized Lovin’ Oven burners. What could be more white bread than that?
