No guilt. No gluten. Find a full list of Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes including turkey, sides, casseroles, veggies, breads and pies.

Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes

Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes

Almost 40 and I still have yet to make a Thanksgiving turkey. I can master almost any Thanksgiving side, but a large bird in my oven is so intimidating.  Thanksgiving is either a major holiday for us with close to 100 people gathered or it is very small. I have a family of seven and one year it was only four of us (granted the twins were in my belly and not on the outside)! Does this holiday sway back and forth for any other family? I think because of this, the turkey has always been covered. If we have a large gathering, the more seasoned chefs cook. If we have a very small gathering, we go out to eat.

That being said, sometimes our small gatherings lead to Friendsgiving Thanksgiving. In this situation, where there are many dietary needs, I try to accommodate everyone with my Thanksgiving recipes. This includes, being Keto-friendly and/or Gluten-free. This got me researching gluten-free Thanksgiving recipes that are tasty for all dietary restrictions!

Ingredients

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Orange soda
  • Clear drinking cups
  • Permanent marker

If you are decorating your own cups, first prep them. You can do this days before as you do not want a fresh coat of permanent marker when you are serving a cold beverage.

When you are ready to serve, place two scoops of vanilla ice cream in each cup.

Pour refrigerated orange soda over the top of the ice cream until the cup is full.

Serve and enjoy!

Frugal Coupon Living’s Orange Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Bowls Recipe – Orange Pumpkin Cups made with Fruit. A healthy fall treat idea. Serve these Jack o Lantern Oranges at your next Halloween Party! 

Orange Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cups

Orange Jack-O-Lantern

When it comes to holiday parties, the sugar that often loads the table is a lot. We have some amazing Halloween Food Craft Ideas, but in our most recent recipe, I wanted to provide a healthy snack option.

Have fun with this one and take a twist on the orange. Crave out a Jack O’ Lantern using an orange, hallow out and fill with fruit. It is the perfect healthy treat to a Halloween Class Party or even an afternoon snack.

Jack-O-Lantern Oranges

Just a few simple ingredients make these Jack-O-Lantern Oranges. Fruit and mixed fruit. I really love berries, but it is your choice. If you scoop out the oranges well, you can even use that to toss in your fruit salad!

You will need a sharp knife to help you cut out your face. We loved this highly rated kitchen carving knife (I have this in my home), we also used Kitchen Sheers to cut out some of the shape. If you worry about using a knife or scissors around kids, crate your adorable Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cup using a Sharpie Maker! We did this with our Orange Jack-O-Lantern Floats.

Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cups Ingredients

  • 3 Medium Navel Oranges
  • 1 cup Mixed Fruit – Your choice, I prefer berries

Yield: 3 Jack-o-Lanterns. Multiple as needed.


Orange Jack-O-Lantern

How to Make Orange Pumpkin Fruit Cups

This recipe is not too challenging. While the recipe is great for kids, an adult needs to be present for the slicing!

Slice off the tops of the oranges.

Using a spoon, scoop out the pulp and insides of the oranges. You can place those aside for your fruit salad or toss them. They could make some fresh orange juice!

Using a knife, careful cut out faces on each orange to resemble a Jack O Lantern orange.

Fill each orange with mixed fruit and serve.

Orange Pumpkin Fruit Cups Tip: Don’t want to carve with a knife? That is okay. Use a sharpie and draw the face on the front – that works too and is safe for little hands!

Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.

Making Edible Fake Blood is easier than you think – only two ingredients. Pour your bloody drizzle on our homemade cupcakes for the perfect Halloween Food Craft.

Edible Fake Blood Cupcakes

We love when the fall season hits – Halloween,Thanksgiving and Christmas. We are kicking off our Halloween ideas with our Edible Fake Blood Cupcakes Recipe. This fits perfectly with our Halloween Food Crafts for the Kids. Be sure to pair this sweet recipe with our salty and tasty Halloween Jalapeño Popper Mummies.

We supplied a homemade vanilla cupcake recipe, but you can use a box mix or you could pick up cupcakes from your local bakery. Just ask them not to ice the cupcakes. Sometimes I do that when I don’t have time for all the steps (aka baking the cupcakes) but I still want to personalize, home make cupcakes. No one ever knows (well they do, because I tell them. They find it as genius as I do!)

This cupcake recipe also goes perfectly with our trailer park murder mystery party!

Cupcake Ingredients:

  • 2 cup flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 container of your favorite white frosting

Edible Blood Ingredients

  • ½ cup corn syrup
  • 10-20 drops red gel food coloring
  • optional: edible knives/meat cleavers


Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.

Edible blood is so easy to make. Only two ingredients – corn syrup and red gel food coloring. You could add some flavoring like vanilla or cherry, but be sure to not change the thick consistency the corn syrup provides. Drizzle over the cupcakes until you get the right look. You could also pickup these edible knives (meat cleavers) for spooky cupcake decor.

Hosting an October gathering? This Halloween Poison Apple Dip makes the perfect party recipe. Only four simple ingredients including cream cheese and caramel. Plus learn how to make our Poison Apple Halloween Food Craft to display on your table.

Halloween Poison Apple Dip

We have an incredibly cute and easy Halloween Food Craft and plus a bonus Halloween Craft for your October Halloween tablescape. Pair this sweet recipe with our salty and tasty Halloween Jalapeño Popper Mummies.

Halloween Poison Apple History

The first rotten apple we know of comes from the Bible. It was never rotten but rather an attractive piece of fruit. When Adam and Eve ate the apple from the Tree of Knowledge, they were instantly aware of good and evil. Immediately the apple built a bad reputation and it becomes a fruit often selected for the symbolism of evil.

We are introduced to the Poisoned Apple in the fairy tale, Snow White. When the Evil Queen gives Snow White a poison apple to kill her, it immediately causes her fall into an eternal sleep.  In the Disney version, Snow White is saved by “true loves kiss” when a prince kisses her causing her to wake.

To carry on the tradition of this the poison apple, we put together a fun Halloween Food Craft; an incredibly easy poison apple craft and poison apple dip.

Cream Cheese & Caramel Apple Dip Ingredients

Cream Cheese & Caramel Apple Dip Ingredients

Luckily, the ingredients in this recipe contain no poison. The thought sure is fun, though, for the Holiday season. Rather this recipe is quite sweet and so good with sliced apples or graham crackers.

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup apple butter
  • 13.5 oz caramel sauce
  • sliced red and green apples
  • optional: graham crackers

Poison Apple Halloween Craft Supplies

  • Green apples
  • Red apples
  • Colored staples

Poison Apple Halloween Craft Directions

Guys, I don’t have much for you. This poison apple craft is incredibly easy. You could look at the picture and instantly create the craft.

First, get two apples of similar shape and sizes. Cut each apple in half and fit them together.

Second, grab colored tables. We used blue staples but you could also use other colored staples, traditional silver staples or gold staples.  Separate individual staples.

With your apple lined up, you will press individual staples until your green and red apple holding them two halves together and forming one apple. Continue this process up the seam of the apple.

Once your apple holds nicely together, you are done.

Warning: Do not use this craft for consumption or eating. Display it on your tablescape or high up for Halloween decor but keep it away from small hands and little kids.

Add a touch of greenery to your home with these ready-to-print free fern botanical prints. 

Fern Botanical Printables

You know the Abba song Fernando? I know it, perhaps better than most. My father, Fernando, was born and raised in Cuba. He came to here as a young teen without his parents. A Peter Pan child with the new name American nick name of Fern (for short.) I think about my father’s journey often but I can never go too deep in my mind. It must have been incredibly scary leaving your home country, unable to speak a foreign language, and leaving home without your parents. If I put myself there, emotionally, I cannot handle it. I pull back in my head… anyone else a first generation American with a heroing account of their parents leaving their home country?

Now on to fern prints. I realize I got off topic. Ferns remind me of non other, my dad. These resilient plants are lush, beautiful and stand out. They grow best in tropical, moist climates or they can grow beautifully in your home with this freebie!  These fern prints are for your own use. I had a few spots in my home that needed some green and these prints were an excellent touch. Print them for your wall frame or print hem and use them on a bookshelf frame as an added pop of green.

Not many supplies are needed for this project.

Fern Botanical Printables Supplies:

  • Cardstock
  • Set of 3 fern botanical printables (see below)

You also will want some adorable frames. These are 8.5 x 11 vertical prints but can be trimmed to 8 x 10. I would recommend getting a nice farmhouse wooden frame or hanging them on letter size clipboards for a different look.

To download our free fern botanical printables, enter your name and email address. Confirm your entry with your first inbox email. Next, we will send you access to all of our free printables via link and password in your inbox.

Since not many people are as talented as Cara when it comes to Hand Lettering, I wanted to share with you a free printable so you can do the same random act of kindness at your front door, even though you might lack the calligraphy talent!

Easy Chicken Parmesan Bread

Chicken Parmesan Bread

I need easy dinners. I need easy dinners that please a diverse group. I need easy dinners, that please a diverse group and fill bellies.

As you all know, I am a mother of five. With are family with a large spread of ages, the twins being 19 months old and myself (the oldest) being a number that I will not share.  When cooking, my goal is to please everyone with one recipe. Baby food went out the window rather quickly in replacement of “what the family eats, you eat!” In addition to creating happy taste buds, I also look to fill tummies. Full bellies = happy kids (and a happy husband!) For example, the twins were barely on the growth chart when they were born. They went form 5 lb preemies to soaring above average on height and weight. This home fills stomachs. And don’t let the 19 month old age fool you; these growing boys can eat more than my 11 year old.

This recipe came to me from a friend and I quickly adapted to my easy, efficient lifestyle. Not many ingredients are required and I can quickly put the meal on the table getting the recipe form kitchen to plate in under an hour with very little prep. I don’t mind cook times, just don’t make me too involved in the preparation of the meal!

RAGU Simply Garlic Parmesan at Walmart

Did you know?

I have a secret ingredient – don’t tell the kids. We had the opportunity to work with RAGÚ Simply Creamy sauces and I was eager to create our own family version of my friend’s Chicken Parmesan Bread recipe.  I personally found it appealing that these sauces were made with milk and cauliflower, replacing traditional heavy cream.  It contains half the fat of RAGÚ’s Classic Alfredo Sauce, with the same delicious taste and texture. That sounds like a win to me!

Look at these simple ingredients.

Chicken Parmesan Bread Ingredients:

  • 1 jar of RAGÚ Simply Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce
  • Seasoned chicken (we used extra virgin olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper)
  • French bread
  • 1/4 Cup butter, melted
  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 Cups mozzarella cheese

Chicken Parmesan Bread Ingredients

You will need to precook your chicken, but I have no problem with that. As long as there is little prep from me in the kitchen. Look at these easy dinner recipe directions.

Chicken Parmesan Bread Directions:

Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees.

Add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) to the bottom of a baking dish, place the chicken on top and top with a drizzle of EVOO.

Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt and pepper onto the chicken and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Once the chicken is cooked, reduce your oven temp to 350 degrees.

Cut your chicken into small bite sized pieces.

Next, cut your French bread in half and then cut each half into half again ( a total of four pieces.)

Place each French bread piece with the crust side down onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Mix your butter and garlic together and heat for 30 seconds in the microwave.

Brush the garlic butter evenly on the bread.

Add about 3 spoonfuls of RAGÚ Simply Creamy Garlic Parmesan with Cauliflower Sauce of each piece of bread and spread out evenly.

Add cut chicken breasts on top of the sauce.

Top each loaf with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.

Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 and enjoy!

Eager to try this Chicken Parmesan Bread recipe yourself?

Save money with your Valpak envelopes. Look for a 75¢ coupon for RAGÚ Simply Creamy sauce and redeem it at your local at Walmart store. At $1.66, that brings the price of this secret ingredient to only 91¢. So half the calories and almost have the price! Sweet.

You could also try another one of the new RAGÚ Simply Creamy sauce flavors. We used Garlic Parmesan but feel free to replace that with their Alfredo sauce.

Pair your Chicken Parmesan Bread with a veggie.

I suggest serving with broccoli or another green. Cook the broccoli in the oven with your bread (350, 30 to 35 minutes) prepping with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. You could use any extra sauce to serve over the broccoli, as well.
