It's crunch time!

[conuly]

What's everybody making for Thanksgiving? Any new and exciting recipes? Or, alternatively, tried and true faves?

I'm gonna do a duck again. Jenn pointed out that the kids don't like duck, which is fair, but they also don't really like turkey and one way or another I'm cooking a bird. I might do a chicken too.

This year's challenge: Cooking (at least some things) for no-sugar-please, no-wheat-flour-please, and lactose allergies. In addition to my own.

That said, a few things will still have sugar, but I've got a flour alternative - and a NON-hybridized flour - that will HOPEFULLY work for pie crust - going to test both of those tonight on a scaled down pie crust recipe. I'm hoping either the alternative WORKS, or that at least the non-hybridized doesn't give me inflammation later.

Organic, no-soy-fed turkey of course, because that's literally the ONLY way I've found turkey skin becomes edible. (and the ENTIRE reason I put on a thanksgiving shindig, because I'm NOT missing out on that turkey for me!)

I'll probably crib a couple ideas from other comments - mashed acorn squash and brussels sprouts in fat - to have extra non-sugary things. :)
