With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, I’m sure most of you have a turkey thawing. Hopefully you have a menu planned, and perhaps have the work divided among many family members. For me, the extended family generally puts everything together, and I bring the sweet potatoes and the egg nog. I also have to bring all the food and drinks for my allergy kid(s).
In the past, this has been SO difficult because I’ve never wanted them to feel excluded, so they received a replica of what everyone else was eating. To make that harder, they had different needs, so some items had to be made three different ways.
Since they couldn’t eat most of what the extended family prepared, I had to make a LOT of food. I can honestly say, it’s always put a damper on the mood for me because of the sheer amount of work… for one meal…
This year however was SO different. I took the good advice of a friend and asked the kids what they wanted. Pizza. That’s what they wanted for Thanksgiving. How easy is that?! Now, I did end up making a gourmet gluten free pizza, and put a lot of time and thought into it, as I didn’t want them to have just any old allergy friendly pizza on Thanksgiving.
So today I’m sharing two amazing pizza recipes with you. They both have the same base which you’ll notice, and then the toppings are quite different. I’ve been told nothing but good things about these pizzas, so I hope you enjoy them.
