Linking Up Guidelines: PLEASE READ!
- Please link back to this post NOT A STATIC “BLOG PARTY PAGE” so that your readers can find the recipes here.
- Link to your individual post, NOT your home page.
- Recipes DO NOT have to be sugar-free or gluten-free – just healthier in some way. The idea is to share our ideas and inspire each other in the kitchen.
- Please don’t link give-aways, contests, and book reviews without recipes – the intent of this event is to compile recipes that give people options.
- (Optional) When you link, please tell us who you are and what you’re cooking. For example, I might enter: Roasted Almond Caramels (GF, SF) (Amy @ Simply Sugar & Gluten Free)
Note: If you’re getting this in an email or an RSS reader, you can’t see all the tasty pics of dishes that have been shared at SIT. Hop on over to SimplySugarAndGlutenFree.com and find something you’re entire family will love!

Thanks for sharing the cornbread stuffing. I have another Thanksgiving side this week. (Although really it’s good any time). They’re Brussels sprouts to convert the Brussels sprouts hater.

As long as you save room for dinner, my One-Pan Eggs & Greens that I shared would be a great Thanksgiving Day breakfast

Thank you for hosting! I shared a delicious Pumpkin Pancakes w/ Ginger Honey Butter recipe. They are always a crowd pleaser, great to serve to company and perfect for a holiday breakfast. Thanks again!

Hi Amy –
Today I’ve linked some Cornbread Stuffing with Herbs and Mushrooms that can be either a side for the turkey or a stuffing for some winter squash…like butternut or acorn. Either way, it’s a good mix of herbs, celery, mushrooms and onion that my family has always liked. It’s GF and vegetarian, and can easily be refined-sugar-free and casein-free.
Many wishes for a blessed Thanksgiving for you and your (growing) family!

Hi Amy,
Thanks for featuring my Pepita Bread. I’ve been obsessed with the buns, my frozen stash is all gone, time to make some more
This week I’ve linked up my Adorable GF Melting Snowman Cookies. A fun cookie decorating project that kids would love or you can make these cookies to give as edible gifts. My version is not SF or Vegan but I’ve included links to recipes with those options

Hi Amy, Thanks for hosting the linky event!
I have linked my recipe for Flatbread with Roasted Squash, Caramelized Onions, Garlic, and Ginger. This is a great Thanksgiving recipe, and even suitable for leftover squash. All recipes on my blog avoid many latex foods and all top allergens. Happy Thanksgiving!

@Amber, I love cranberry sauce!! I made a double batch of my cranberry clementine sauce this Thanksgiving because we eat so much of it…it’s great on everything from turkey to rolls to pie!
Thanks for being part of SIT!
Hugs,
Amy
