15 Dairy Free and Gluten Free Recipes for a Thanksgiving Menu

Go for a blend of traditional and not-so-traditional dishes with these dairy and gluten free recipes for Thanksgiving. These sweet and savory delicacies comprise a full meatless menu: drinks, bread, soup, salad, starch, vegetable, meat substitute and dessert. Holiday flavors, such as carrot, apple, cranberry and orange, set a festive tone, while sweet potato and faux turkey take pride of place.

Substitution Quick Tips:

·        Milk = Soy milk

·        Eggs = Ener G Egg Replacer

·        Flour = Coconut flour

·        Sugar = Agave nectar

·        Meat = Tofu and/or tempeh (marinated in seasoning of your choice)

Savings Tip:

DollarTree carries WestSoy Plain Lowfat Soymilk Drink, usually on the top shelf, halfway down the grocery aisle. The Ingredient List states: “filtered water, organic soymilk, organic dehydrated cane juice, sea salt and vitamins A, D2 and B2”. At only $1 per quart, this is a significant savings over WalMart prices. Unfortunately, it’s not on their large order website at this time. Maybe if enough of us lobby them it may come about. J
