Like any turkey, a gluten free turkey can spoil quickly. It is extremely important to thaw your turkey properly. You may not be aware, but bacteria quickly multiply in poultrybetween 40 and 140°F. Forty degrees may seem cold, but not to those bacteria. They thrive in a warm environment, and 40°F is warm to them. -To prevent this, follow the simple guideline for each of the thawing methods below. They are compliments of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Meanwhile, have a healthy and safe Thanksgiving.

Crackers aux Céréales is French for cereal crackers. I made this version of my gluten free graham cracker recipe when I recently stumbled up their existence. Europeans know food, and they have quite a few ideas that only seem to catch on in America if a well-known chef decides to duplicate one of their recipes here in the United States. These seedy crackers are served in France with breakfast. You may top them with the same condiments you use to top your toast. Use jam, nut butter, peanut butter, and even the famous nut cocoa spread, Nutella, which is extremely popular in Europe. It is made of hazelnuts and cocoa. Another option is to dunk them in coffee, tea, or milk. My version of these gluten free cereal crackers tastes like a gluten graham cracker with seeds on top. I hope you enjoy this recipe. There’s nothing like a little nutty flavor on breakfast food. Continue reading “French Seedy Gluten Free Graham Cracker Recipe”

This is the best dessert I could possibly think of serving on Thanksgiving out of all of my gluten free dessert recipes. It not only fits in perfectly with the holiday, but it contains tons of chocolate. The filling contains white chocolate, cream cheese, and pumpkin puree. The crust of this gluten free pumpkin cheesecake is is made of chocolate cookies and is covered with a thin layer of pumpkin chocolate ganache. I took a shortcut by using Pamela’s Products mini chocolate cookies for the crust. They really are ideal. This recipe has received rave reviews, even by gluten-eaters. Enjoy the recipe as well as your Thanksgiving. Continue reading “Triple Chocolate Gluten Free Pumpkin Cheesecake & Crust”

It is extremely important to use a moist cake recipe when making gluten free cake pops. They turn out much smoother. You can use these cake pops for Thanksgiving as a decoration or as a dessert.
