Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I love to cook the day before. The morning of Thanksgiving I cook my turkey in the oven and the house smells of the wonderful aromas. Friends and family come and enjoy my cooking and I get a lot of satisfaction. Here is some great tips and recipes from around the real food world that I hope you enjoy!
These are recipes from around the real food blogosphere. Some are appropriate for SCD, GAPS, Paleo and Primal diets — some are not. However, it is easy to substitute in coconut milk or cream for dairy, or honey for other sweeteners. Just be aware that not all the recipes are grain-free or dairy-free.

What a great round up of real food recipes! How sad that we actually have to search for ” real ” food nowadays. I am especially interested in the grain free recipes. Can’t wait to look at them all.
What a great round up! Thanks for including my cider with all of those scrumptious sounding recipes.
I will definitely be sharing this post with my readers. I can clearly remember my first real food / allergen-free Thanksgiving and still shudder at the lengthy recipe searches, endless testing, and mountains of prep work and cooking. I would be happy to spare even one person that stress!
The cider looks great! I will definitely be trying it!
Love this! Thank you for sharing our roasted sage squash recipe!
Great collection… thanks for sharing it on foodie friday.
Wishing you and your family a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving. Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope to see you soon!

I have pinned this post. It’s such a fabulous resource. I’m particularly drawn to some of the very innovative and delicious sounding sides and condiments!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog
like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m
not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos
