Welcome to another edition of the Real Food Holidays Blog Carnival – Thanksgiving 2011 edition. Link up your holiday recipes, share your menu ideas, and tips.
Thanksgiving was declared an official American holiday by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. Its origins trace back to a 1621 harvest celebration at Plymouth (Massachusetts). The tradition of holding an annual harvest festival became established in the 1660s.

These pumpkin bars get rave reviews from everyone who tries them…even those not on a gluten-free diet! My kids ask for them all the time so I make sure to have organic pumpkin on hand. So easy to make! 🙂

It’s refreshing to find some recipes that are all real and natural for once – there is so much artificial and unhealthy food going around it’s nice to have a reprieve for Thanksgiving 🙂
Enjoy the turkey everyone – which, by the way, is not responsible if you get sleepy after the feast. The carbs in the stuffing are to blame for that. http://www.brain-scape.com/blog/2011/11/its-not-the-turkey-making-you-sleep/
My wife and I have been trying to really focus on healthy meals for holidays. I can tell you at first it can be a challenge

I’m a bit late to the party but just had to share this Thanksgiving’s newest creation – a GAPS legal, grain-free, gluten-free, bread-free chestnut dressing. The texture on this is amazing.
