A Victorian Christmas: Using Seasonal and Preserved Foods at Christmas

It's not too early -- especially if you're on a special diet like GAPS, Paleo, or Primal -- to start planning your menus for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Use your crockpot for this GAPS-approved holiday recipe for mincemeat pie with oh-so-nourishing ingredients -- like meat, fruit, healthy fats, and a grain-free crust.

Curried Turkey Salad | One of my biggest Thanksgiving dinner challenges is finding something to do with all of the leftovers. A good turkey salad is versatile, keeps well, and can be served for lunch, snack, or dinner. This salad's got a twist -- a curried mayonnaise base. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Curried Turkey Salad {from turkey leftovers!}

Sometimes I'm just in a stuffing mood... Then the big questions are: what can I serve with it? What new twist can I create? I initially resisted adding sausage to my stuffing. Finally, I caved, and I'm so glad I did! My newest version is a savory sourdough stuffing with Italian sausage!

Perfectly Moist Turkey, Every Time | Experience has shown me that we end up with fabulously moist turkeys (even heritage birds) by cooking our turkeys exactly the opposite way recommended by 1-800-BUTTERBALL. Here's how you can get a perfectly moist oven-roasted turkey -- every time. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Gluten-Free Sausage Mac and Cheese | No surprise, like everyone, we're big fans of macaroni and cheese. I've shared a stovetop real food mac and cheese in the past. This one is gluten-free, too, but it's also baked and has a brown-rice thickened cheese sauce with smoked paprika. It's worth the extra time to make the sauce and bake the dish. It's absolutely scrumptious with the toasty oven-baked cheese. | GNOWFGLINS.com
