Gluten-Free Tip of the Week/My Tips on How to Enjoy Thanksgiving Gluten-Free

November 23, 2021November 23, 2021 christyaustin1680

Thanksgiving week can be such a fun and enjoyable time for families throughout the USA.

However, when dealing with celiacs or gluten-intolerance, Thanksgiving can be a bit stressful if not prepared.

My Tips on How to Enjoy Thanksgiving Gluten-Free

Communicate with those you are sharing Thanksgiving with to make sure there are gluten-free options. Communicate this is in a kind and well-mannered way.
Bring plenty of your own gluten-free food for Thanksgiving Day.
Make sure the gluten-free items you bring are items you KNOW you like to eat. It is not fun to be excited to try a new gluten-free product just to be disappointed. Make sure you know the items you choose are delicious and tasty.

Happy Thanksgiving!

If you follow me you know that I not only eat gluten-free (celiacs disease), but that I also feel strongly about being prepped with meals for the week.

One of the hardest parts of being gluten-free is the fact that it’s not always convenient.
