Low FODMAP Thanksgiving Recipes

This post was originally posted years ago, but the recipes are still great so it’s getting a refresh! Enjoy and happy Thanksgiving!
Woah, can you believe Thanksgiving is this week? I’m still not 100% used to the weather patterns here in Texas – it was 86 degrees a few days ago! – and while I absolutely love that, it has my brain still in summer / maaaaaybe fall mode, and I’m having trouble remembering that it is actually HOLIDAY SEASON. When did that happen?? We’ll be going up to the Great White North in a few days to celebrate with family though, so I have full confidence that I will be slapped with an icy-cold-blast-of-wind-to-the-face dose of reality that will remind me what time of year it is.
Anyway, I just wanted to stop in and wish a very happy Thanksgiving to everyone. This season, I’m doing my best to remember that, despite our differing views and the crazy/chaotic/sad things going on in the world, I have much to be thankful for.

And now for the food! I’ve never hosted a Thanksgiving, so I don’t have any miraculous turkey recipes to share (plus, if I ever did host, I’d do my best to get away with making pizza instead), but if you’re still looking for some low-FODMAP side dishes to bring, here are my favorites!

From GMGH
Be sure to read my tips for traveling and my tips for eating out, as well as my holiday survival guide! Nobody wants to feel miserable during this time of year.
Mains
Beef braise with mashed parsnips
Sourdough pizza or Detroit style pizza (in case you have success convincing your family to have pizza instead of turkey. Invite me over?)
Sides
Gluten free cornbread (this is always a hit!)
Dessert
Gluten free pumpkin pie – hands down the best gluten free pie crust. Ever.

From around the web
Life changing gluten free biscuits – also from Alternative Baker, these look amazing!
Simple sweet potato fries – we usually do some roasted veggies, and I love that this recipe broils them at the end. Crispy sweet potatoes = heaven.
Kale cranberry walnut salad – this looks like a delicious way to add in some greens!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Sourdough Bread
Maybe pumpkin sourdough bread sounds weird (although by now y’all are used to my sourdough escapades, right?), but I promise you it’s not. Somewhere between the flavor and consistency of a quick bread (think banana bread) and an actual loaf of bread, this recipe yields results that are sweet but not too sweet…
Low FODMAP Pierogies
Basically the Eastern European version of ravioli, these wheat free pierogies are filled with a cheesy potato mixture and fried to perfection. A perfect Christmas Eve meal, or great for any time…
Quick Pumpkin Soup Recipe
Is it soup season where you are? Here in Austin, it’s hit 90 degrees every day for the past week. Which apparently makes some people mad, but I’m loving it. Because it’s cooling off in the mornings and evenings, which is when you want to eat soup anyway…
