I
prefer to make turkey stock about a week or two before Thanksgiving. I make a lot of it, in order to make gravy,
and also to have it ready for my favorite post-Thanksgiving turkey soup. I prepare for my leftovers! Making this stock means that you will be roasting a turkey in a very simple fashion. Roasting this turkey is a means to an end,
what you really want is the carcass. It's a bit of effort now, so you don't have to work so hard on Thanksgiving, or right before it. So,
break out the roasting pan, here we go!
Teaching families how to cook real food, with good ingredients, just like grandma would've made... if she cooked without eggs, dairy, or peanuts/nuts!

Apple Bread
My family loves to pick apples in the Fall. It's a much anticipated family outing, and every year we get more apples than the year before! The children REALLY love apple muffins, but if I'm being totally honest with you, I detest greasing and then cleaning the muffin tins. I was looking for an alternative, so I turned to my trusty "Joy of Cooking" cookbook. Of course, the apple bread recipe had eggs, buttermilk, and nuts in the ingredient list, so I got to work doing what I love to do - taking a classic recipe, making it allergy friendly, and tweaking it until it's just right and no one suspects that it's dairy, egg, and peanut/tree nut free!

For the Love of Cranberries - Cranberry Sauce
I've already made my Cranberry Sauce for Thanksgiving. Yep, I'm that far ahead of the game, and you can be too! I make my Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce at the beginning of the month, and I preserve it. You certainly don't have to go through the process of preserving, this recipe is fantastic made the day of, or up to a week before, simply keep it in the fridge. I make 4x this recipe and I use it for Cranberry Muffins, and for Cranberry Spread. (4x the recipe yields approximately 5 quarts of Cranberry Sauce.)
This cranberry sauce recipe is peanut-free, tree nut-free, dairy-free, egg-free, wheat-free, gluten-free, soy-free, fish-free, and shellfish-free. Top 8 Allergen Free! As always, check this ingredient list and your local products to make sure that this recipe is allergy safe for your family and/or friends!
Steps marked with an asterisk (*) are child friendly for children who understand stove top safety!
