Recipes

Get ready for a gluten-free Thanksgiving to knock your socks off with recipes for gluten-free, holiday-worthy entrees, sides, and desserts.

This deceptively simple recipe yields an unusually complex combination of flavors and textures with few ingredients.

In this inspired alternative to traditional holiday desserts, pears are dusted with palm sugar (low on the glycemic scale) and cardamom and then roasted and served over a pool of rich blueberry sauce.

This warm, complete-protein salad is a likely candidate to change that—and not only for vegans avoiding Big Bird.

Just as rich as bread-and-butter stuffing but without the grains and excess fat—and packing a bevy of unexpected flavors—it’s a health oasis on the holiday table.

This decadent soufflé accentuates sweet potatoes’ veggieness instead, enriched with just enough cheese to make it a crowdpleaser.

Pine nuts, allspice, and mint give this meat-free entree Middle Eastern flair, but the overall statement is “American harvest.” The entire dish can be prepared up to three hours ahead and reheated just before serving time.

Also known as chickpeas, these high-protein legumes taste buttery and a bit nutty. Just 1 cup provides half of your daily fiber needs, most of it insoluble fiber, optimal for digestive and colon health. Garbanzos also offer significant folate, antioxidant phytonutrients, and manganese. Look for dried garbanzos or buy them ready to eat in BPA-free cans.

How one local natural foods market builds community and goodwill, one tasty slice at a time.
