With Thanksgiving right around the corner, you’re probably trying to get your shopping and guest lists both in order. And- if you’re looking for some great gluten free side dishes for Thanksgiving – this is the post for you.

For three years in a row, I’ve made a completely gluten free, dairy free Thanksgiving feast for me and my family. The first year, I actually made two Thanksgiving dinners: one completely paleo-approved, and the second, a more traditional – for our guests. The amazing part? Our guests wanted seconds, thirds, and fourths. Of the Paleo Thanksgiving.
