Gluten Intolerant Group: Thanksgiving Dinner

So as you all may know, I recently got in touch with the Gluten Intolerance Group who gets together every once in a while and meets up with gluten-free food dinners and hang outs. This Thanksgiving holiday was no exception with their GF Thanksgiving dinner in San Antonio.

The Gluten Intolerence Group of Central and Couth Texas ranges with members from Austin, San Antonio and Corpus Christi with close to 40 members from around the area who all go together early Thanksgiving week with their favorite GF dishes. Look at how much food there was!!

Members brough dishes ranging from turkey, stuffing, salad to homemade breads and pastries. All foods were Gluten-free made with wheat-alternative flours.

Pastries are one type of dishes traditionally including wheat in their flours. These dishes were all made with gluten-free flours like those made of tapioca, rice and other flours. All the dishes at this Gluten-Free dinner included a recipe card with a list of ingredients which is very convienent for anyone on a GF diet.

For many with a Gluten-Free diet, occasions like these are the few rare times they get to eat foods like Gluten-Free cupcakes. Some people at the dinner, hadn't had cupcakes and pastries in months, even years, since they are usually foods made with wheat flour.

The Little Aussie Bakery and Cafe of San Antonio donated bread rolls for the GF Thanksgiving dinner. I'd have to say of all the GF bread I've ever had, this has got to be the best! And, it's no wonder, since Little Aussie was named one of 2011 Top 10 Bread Bakers in America by Desert Professional.

I would suggest anyone in Central Texas not already attending GIG's support group to consider it or any support community because it really helps to have an outlet out there where you can talk about your experience and share it with those around you who understand and can help one another with events like this one. I really enjoyed my Thanksgiving this year and hope you all did too!
