It’s the Pre-Thanksgiving edition of Slightly Indulgent Tuesday. This is one of the rare times of the year when I expect your recipes to be FULLY indulgent.
I have been getting e-mails about how to ‘cut the calories’ at Thanksgiving. Look, I’m all about healthier food. But on Thanksgiving? That’s one day of the year I could care less.
No one gets fat from eating 3rds and 4ths on Thanksgiving. If you do it on a regular basis, yea, you’ve got a problem. But on the handful of major holidays I’m all for cutting loose and enjoying every last bite.
Last Week’s Healthier Highlights!
- Warm Peanut-Pumpkin Protein Pudding from Cara’s Cravings
- Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Muffins from The Frugally Rich Life
- Flourless Pumkin Roll from Easy to Be Gluten-Free
- Oven Dried Cranberries from Diet, Dessert, & Dogs
- Date Sweetened Vinaigrette from She Let Them Eat Cake
A Gluten-Free Holiday!
Alta from Tasty Eats at Home is hosting this week – and we’re giving away more cookbooks: 5 copies of Free for All Cooking by Jules Dowler Shepard and 2 copies of Artisinal Gluten-Free Cooking by Kelli and Peter Bronski. Stop by and leave a comment even if you already own these fab books. They’d make great gifts!
12 Days of Christmas Cookies – Gluten-Free
Check out this great event Maggie from She Let Them Eat Cake has put together – and tell me what you want me to make. I need your suggestions!
Linking Up Guidelines!
- Please link back to this post 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 or book reviews without recipes – the intent of this event is to compile recipes that give people options.
- When you link, please tell us who you are and what you’re cooking. For example, I might enter:
Amy @ Simply Sugar & Gluten Free (No Bake PB & Chocolate Crunch Bars)

Entering my cakey, GF chocolate chip cookies. Made with honey and a touch of molasses. Dunk these while sitting by the fire. Mmmmm!

Hi Amy.
I hope you don’t mind I shared my post for a giveaway to win a “The Nourished Guide to Fermenting Foods” by Naturopaths Helen Padarin and Heidi East.
This is such a great book because fermented foods can be really good for so many of us!
The competition is open to anyone in the world (who was an email address)!
Thanks for hosting Amy!
-Michelle.

Thanks for the shout out, Amy! This week I am sharing another pumpkin-protein treat.
And FYI I’m with you – Thanksgiving is a day to indulge – even more than slightly – and have it not hurt in the long run

You are SO right about only one Thanksgiving a year. I won’t eat anything that’ll make me sick (like gluten), but I’ll be glad to watch my total intake on many other days so that for our celebration of thanksgiving for the bounty we have can be full.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hi Amy, linked my yesterday’s recipe! I just wanted to say that if that cover of your cookbook is the mock-up, I can’t wait to see what the official cover looks like. The mock-up makes me want to look inside and make recipes from it! I hope that when it’s released there’s a “look inside” preview for it.

Hey Amy,
Thanks for hosting and your wisdom on Thanksgiving! I couldn’t get my act together yesterday (lots of excitement at gfe!), but finally have my Pumpkin Corn Muffins linked. They are gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free. Great by themselves or as a side bread to a meal.
It’s getting closer to your book release! Hope you don’t work too hard on editing over the Thanksgiving holiday. Enjoy, too.
Hugs,
Shirley
