I Guess I'm the Adultier Adult in the Kitchen
Last week I shared about gluten free products you can use to make your Thanksgiving feast.

This week I want to share the "Just How Do I Pull This Off?"
For years my grandmother made the holiday feast.

And now that I'm adult in the kitchen (how did that happen?), I I'm sharing my tips with you on how to build a menu and things to remember when cooking for those with dietary restrictions.

Plus links to recipes if you've never quite done this before.

Not in the mood to cook? Stay tuned next week when I share businesses that will have GF Thanksgiving meals to go, as well as deadlines for ordering from your favorite gluten free bakers.

Use a high quality cup for cup GF flour.
King Arthur works well.
Replace the oil with melted, cooled butter.
Add one extra egg.
Replace the water with milk.

This makes for richer, better tasting gluten-free desserts. I’ve had hundreds not be able to tell my desserts are GF.

Two VERY Important Reminders This Halloween
One - Barley malt ,which contains gluten, is found in many candy bars that contain crisped rice. In the US, these products are NOT allowed to be labeled gluten free.

That includes:

Nestle Crunch
100 Grand
Krackel
Whatchamacallit
Crispy M&M's
and Kellogg's Rice Krispie Treats

Other Candies that contain malt include
Mars Bar
Milky Way (Milky Way DARK is GF)
Whoppers
Lindt Chocolates (White chocolate is GF)

TWO - A reminder that snack size candy bars don't have full ingredient lists. Candies are only required to disclosed the top 9 allergens. This does NOT include malt.

So If you're unsure about the ingredients of a candy bar, visit the brand's website to research ingredients.

To learn more about barley, malt and the malting process, and why malt is SO DIFFICULT to test for, read my blog post linked below.

Are We Officially in Pot Pie Season?
It's officially fall, and I am looking forward to cooler temperatures and warm & cozy meals.

These gluten free individual pot pies are the perfect fall dish.
Made in small 6" pot pie dishes, these are great for lunches and easy to reheat dinners. (I have purchased the dishes at Meijer in the past.)

And YES, you can freeze them to eat later.

Avoid eggs, dairy or grains? I share substitution suggestions in the text of my blog post.
