Celebrations

Holidays and special occasions call for celebration, would you agree? We all love traditional gatherings for the obvious holidays, but we also love smaller holidays and love to celebrate each one with a special menu. We love a good 4th of July themed picnic, Valentine's Day treats everyone will love, or "Game-Day" appetizers and entrees made in the Instant Pot.

Consider this your one-stop-shop to every celebratory menu you'll ever need. Looking for a Thanksgiving menu (for 5 special diets)? Or maybe you'd like a "Real-Food Makeover" for your Christmas menu? We've got it!

Allergy-Friendly Chocolate Custard | We are in love with this custard. It's thickened with mineral-rich and digestive-supporting gelatin and it's allergy-friendly. You can use whatever milk you'd like, so dairy-free is an option. And it doesn't need eggs (thanks to that gelatin). Make it now and it will be chilled by dinner time! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, it's fun to see how new recipes can be "green-ified". Like my standard homemade Oreos. I turned the filling (natural) green, which made me think of grasshopper mint ice cream, so I added a bit of peppermint to the mix as well! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Donuts... There's nothing like 'em! These sourdough gluten-free donuts without refined sweeteners raise the bar. They may just become a new staple!

Best Vanilla or Chocolate Ice Cream | Scoopable, creamy, smooth, delicious... the best homemade ice cream ever! You can turn this basic recipe into mint chocolate chip, cookies and cream, or strawberry, just to give you some ideas... [by Wardee Harmon] | GNOWFGLINS.com

Spicy Chocolate Gingersnaps {gluten-free & egg-free} | This recipe for gluten-free and egg-free chocolate gingersnaps is adapted from Nourishing Traditions. I liked that it used sprouted crispy almonds and arrowroot flour, making it easier to digest. I couldn't fathom a gingersnap without molasses. And all things seem to be better with chocolate. They will forever be on our list of Christmas cookies to make each year! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com
