Happy Healthy Thanksgiving

As I relax with the fam this thanksgiving weekend I am feeling stress free and really enjoying the down time.  Usually I would be indulging in all the wrong foods, bad drinks and delicious desserts 😁

This year I planed ahead and have healthy alternative the whole family will enjoy.  Staying on track to reach my goals is a priority and I am not going to let  a holiday distract me.  

Gluten free Stuffing 

6 cups gluten free bread cubes (I just cut up a few pieces of gluten free bread)
a few TBS EVOO
2 tsp minced garlic
1 cup yellow onion
1 cup celery
2 tsp Italian seasoning
3 cup organic low sodium chicken stock 

Sauté the garlic, onion & celery.  
Add the bread and seasoning.  
Add the chicken stock and mix until just combined.  
Stuff turkey and cook or dump into a greased baking sheet and bake at 350 for 30 mins or until toasty brown.  


Gluten free Gravy

Pan drippings from roasted turkey
1/4 cup tapioca flour or Coconut flour
seasoning of your freferance
salt and pepper to taste
water if needed
cream optional

pull 1/2 cup of drippings 
add to flour and mix (I use a shaker cup)
slowly add to roasting pan on med-high and whisk constantly to desired thickness.  if too thick add water or cream.  if too thin add more flour.  
add seasoning and salt/pepper to taste 


Shakeology Chocolate Pie


I hope you all have a happy thanksgiving and please share your healthy alternatives.
