Thanksgiving Food Overview

FOOD:
The food in my house for Thanksgiving is simple-yet delicious! My mom is a wonderful cook, and even though I'll offer to help, she'll tell me I'm not fast enough at peeling potatoes. But its okay- watching her cook makes up for it!

Main Dish:

• obviously the turkey!!!

Sides:

• Mashed Potatoes
• Onion Soup Mix Potatoes 
• (not everyone in my family are mashed potato lovers-but I just don't understand it!)
• Salad
• Stuffing
• Cranberry Sauce
• Assorted Vegetables (carrots, green beans, corn, broccoli, etc.) 

Desserts:

• Apple Pie
• Cinnamuffins 
• Ice Cream (Sorbet for the Allergic)
• By the time we get to dessert, we are all stuffed! So not a lot of effort is put into the dessert category... :)

Drinks:

• Apple Cider

I meant to get this out before Thanksgiving, but there was a lot going on last week, and didn't have computer access until today! I hope everyone had a great allergen-free Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving 101

As we all know, Thanksgiving is right around the corner. This, (as dictionary.com says) is "a national holiday celebrated as a day of feasting and giving thanks". So pretty much its a day of giving thanks--and EATING! Now to most, this is the best holiday of the year. After all, who doesn't love food? However, to those with food allergies, its a day of celebration and anxiety. Whether you stay at home or visit someone else's house for dinner, there is going to be something to worry about. But do not fear! Allergy Alli is here! I'm going to share my favorite Thanksgiving foods and recipes and best ways to avoid allergens on this fabulous day of food!
