How will you ever get through it?

Well, this is true.

It might very well be a challenge.

That’s why my first suggestion is that you sign up for my FREE Holiday Gift – “38 Ways to be Gloriously Gluten-Free – Through the Holidays and Beyond.”

This Free holiday guide will arrive in your in-box daily, beginning November 25.

Here’s what else you need to know before the big day:

  • While gluten isn’t naturally present in turkey (or any meat) consider the basting solutions and seasonings – that’s where gluten can sneak in.
