Talk to your family early and openly about your preferences. If you are up to it, offer to host Thanksgiving to introduce your family to your glutenfree lifestyle in a delicious way. No more separate meals — everyone will enjoy this food! These tips will help your Thanksgiving planning run smoothly. When You Are The Host Planning a gluten-free Thanksgiving: Feel confident entering any holiday in three easy steps: Prepare, Practice and Enjoy! Prepare: Putting together a Thanksgiving feast is never easy and making a gluten-free meal poses extra challenges. Plan ahead! By starting early, you can ensure success while having your guests help by bringing safe, gluten-free items (listed below) so that your feast is delicious and enjoyable for everyone. If you have any gluten-free friends or family, let them know of your plans for a gluten-free feast! They may make a special effort to share in this holiday if they know that they can eat safely. Once you know your number of guests and pick a meal time, it’s time to get to menu planning! Practice: Practice is the best way to eliminate any stress or anxiety about hosting a glutenfree Thanksgiving. Never made a gluten-free pie before? Make a practice gluten-free pumpkin pie in October, then you’ll know that you will have no problem at Thanksgiving. Your family won’t mind being expert taste testers in the process either! Enjoy: This is the most important part! Relax and enjoy this great American tradition. Share this gluten-free meal with your family and give thanks for all of the blessings in your life. [ return to table of contents ] JulesGlutenFree.com Jules’ THANKSGIVING 4 GLUTEN-FREE HOLIDAY Tips When You Are The Host (continued) Suggestions for your guests: Even if, as the host, you are planning a 100% gluten-free Thanksgiving, your guests will probably offer to bring something. Thanksgiving is about family and sharing, after all. Here is a list of safe items that you can suggest your guests bring to help out: • • • • • • • Fresh Vegetables Fruit platter Beverages Wine or Sparkling Apple Cider Vanilla ice cream Whipped cream/topping Flowers Also, if you need any accessories, such as: • • • • Napkins Serving trays Punch bowl Extra folding chairs or tables If your guests STILL bring gluten-full items into your house: • Put the gluten-full food somewhere apart from the main serving stations and inform everyone who is gluten-free to stay away. • Any homemade food is in the “better safe than sorry” category, so it is better to stay away if it is made by someone you aren’t sure understands the gluten-free diet and the risks of crosscontamination. Only trust it if you can read an ingredient label or you trust the person who brought the dish. • Send all leftovers home with the person who brought them or take them to a homeless shelter – it’s better than throwing them out. Helping guests understand gluten contamination: As you know, the subtleties of gluten contamination can be difficult to understand. Talk to the gluten-free eaters and create a strategy so it’s easy to keep your gluten-free food safe. Keep all gluten-full dishes in a separate area so utensils are kept separate. If there is any gluten-full bread at the meal, provide two separate butter plates and identify the one for gluten bread and the one for gluten-free bread so there is no risk of cross-contamination from the butter knives. As long as instructions are clear and provided in a pleasant manner, your guests will do their best to keep you healthy, but, as always, you are ultimately in charge of your own health. 5 Jules’ THANKSGIVING [ return to table of contents ] JulesGlutenFree.com GLUTEN-FREE HOLIDAY Tips When You Are A Guest If Thanksgiving’s not at your house this year, don’t stress! You can stay healthy and satisfied on turkey day by keeping open communication with the host and by bringing a few creative dishes that you and others can enjoy. Dishes to bring to a host’s home: Ask your host what other sides are being offered. Then, strategically offer to bring dishes that fit with the current offerings and that will fill you up so that you can fully enjoy your meal. Think about what traditions you would miss the most. Whether it is fresh baked bread, stuffing, or green bean casserole, bring your favorites to the meal and enjoy. And don’t forget dessert! There’s always room for one more pie on the dessert table! Helping hosts understand gluten contamination: Information is essential when talking to the host about your needs. Comparing gluten-free preparation to a kosher kitchen can help people understand the situation. First, see how receptive your host is to accommodating your needs. Everyone has different comfort levels and exposure to working with dietary restrictions, so you’ll want to evaluate your host to decide how best to approach him or her. Thanksgiving is all about traditions, so it’s ideal if you can figure out a way to work your needs into these traditions. If your host seems hesitant though, simply find a dish or two that you can bring that adds to the existing menu and gives you a “go-to” dish to make the most of the meal. For turkey-lovers, there is no better day than Thanksgiving. In order to share your host’s turkey, you have two choices: the turkey must be stuffed with gluten-free stuffing, or any non-gluten-free stuffing must be cooked apart from the turkey. It is simply not safe to eat a turkey that has glutencontaining stuffing inside of it. If your hosts are set on baking the turkey with stuffing inside, offer to bring gluten-free stuffing for the turkey as your contribution. Once you try one of my stuffing recipes, you’ll know there will be no complaints from the other guests about gluten-free stuffing! Otherwise, offer to cook up a small turkey breast and bring it so that you don’t miss out. Also, suggest a few brands of gluten-free turkey. (See the turkey recipe for gluten-free turkey options.) When asking about the other dishes, ask what ingredients and spices are traditionally used in their recipes. If something typically contains gluten, offer to provide them with a gluten-free alternative ahead of time. For example, if your host is making gravy, offer to bring gluten-free flour for them to use. You will be the ultimate judge of what is safe for you to eat on Thanksgiving. It’s always better to be safe and bring your own dishes than to take a risk when it comes to gluten contamination.

Stuffing tips: A new use for dried out bread. Did anyone ever “gift” you with a rock-hard loaf of frozen gluten-free bread? Do you hate to throw it out, but shudder to think of ever actually eating it?! Well, I have a great solution for you — use it in stuffing this Thanksgiving! When you make stuffing, the first step is to dry out, or toast the bread. That frozen stuff starts out dry and crumbly, so use it all up by toasting it in the oven on a baking sheet and voilà: dried breadcrumbs! Of course, every end product is better when you start with the best ingredients, and stuffing is no different. Therefore, homemade gluten-free bread made into homemade breadcrumbs makes the absolute best stuffing. What I often do after 3 or 4 days is to take any unused portion of a homemade loaf, cube it, seal it in a zip top bag and freeze it until I’m ready to use it for stuffing. At that point, I spread it out onto a baking sheet and toast for 10 – 15 minutes at 300ºF. So start now, and bake lots of gluten-free bread so you are sure to have enough delicious “left overs” to use for your Thanksgiving stuffing.

Be sure to also avoid any gravy packets that come with turkeys, as most contain gluten. As always, careful label reading is a must! If you are not hosting Thanksgiving yourself, do some research and suggest a brand of turkey to your host that you know is gluten free. It’s easy to find out for sure whether the brands available in your local stores are gluten free, just by calling customer service for those brands. Brands like Aaron’s Gourmet, Empire Kosher, Honeysuckle White, Jennie-O, Norbest, Organic Prairie, Perdue, Pilgrim’s Pride, Shady Brook Farms, and Shelton’s all identify at least some of their turkeys as gluten free, but most manufacturers offer at least some varieties of turkey that are gluten free. Gravy Most pre-made gravy contains gluten. The best option is just to make it yourself! This recipe is vegetarian so that all at your table may partake, but if you prefer to use turkey drippings, simply substitute for butter where noted in the recipe. Ingredients: GET NUTRITION FACTS FOR THIS RECIPE > • 4 Tbs. butter or non-dairy alternative (e.g. Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks) or turkey drippings • 1/4 cup Jules Gluten Free™ All Purpose Flour • 2 cups broth (Imagine Foods® Organic Chicken Broth and Vegetable broth are both currently gluten • • • free; Celifibr® Bouillon Cubes are also gluten free; Savory Choice Liquid Broth Concentrate is also gluten and MSG-free) 2 Tbs. butter or non-dairy alternative (e.g. Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks) or turkey drippings 1 large onion, diced salt & pepper Directions: Place 4 tablespoons of butter or drippings into a large saucepan. Slowly whisk in the flour, stirring constantly over medium-low heat until thickened and bubbly. Slowly whisk in the broth at this point, taking care not to let lumps form as broth is added. In a separate pan, sauté diced onion with the 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until translucent. Add to the thickened roux, then season with salt & pepper to taste. Copyright Jules E.

Makes one 8- or 9-inch pie crust; double amounts for a two-crust pie. I used to recommend refrigerating this crust before rolling, but I’ve learned through much trial and error that it is actually much easier to work with the dough if it is allowed to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before rolling out. Ingredients: • 1 cup Jules Gluten Free™ All Purpose Flour • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt • 2 Tbs. shortening, butter or non-dairy alternative (e.g. Earth Balance® Shortening Sticks) GET NUTRITION FACTS FOR THIS RECIPE > • 3 Tbs butter or non-dairy alternative ( e.g. Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks) • 2 - 3 tablespoons cold water • milk (dairy or non-dairy) Directions: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening and butter using two knives or a pastry cutter. Add the water gradually to make the consistency you need to form a ball – err on the side of it being wetter rather than crumbly (note: mixing the dough may also be done in a food processor). Form a disc with the dough, wrap in plastic and set aside on the counter for 30 minutes while you make your filling. After allowing the dough to rest, roll the pastry out onto a surface dusted with Jules Gluten Free™ All Purpose Flour. A flexible pastry sheet (e.g. Silpat) for that purpose works well. Roll to a diameter at least 1 inch larger than the diameter of your pie pan. Gently lift an edge of the rolled out crust over your rolling pin and use the pin to lift the crust so that it is supported by the rolling pin as you lift it onto your pie plate. Pat into shape and fill with your desired filling. If baking a fruit pie, put small pats of butter or Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks on top of the filling and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if you desire. Copyright Jules E. Dowler Shepard 2011 MORE > 25 Jules’ THANKSGIVING [ return to table of contents ] JulesGlutenFree.com JULES GLUTEN FREE™ GIVING Recipes - Dessert Grandma’s Pie Crust CONTINUED For a two-crust pie like an apple pie, double the ingredients and divide the doubled pie crust before setting aside. Shape each half into a disc and wrap each in plastic wrap. Repeat the rolling out steps and lay the crust gently onto the top of the filled pie pan. Cut off all but 1/2 - 1 inch of excess pie crust from around the edge of the pan. For fruit pies, cut small slits in the center of the top crust to allow the hot steam to escape. Brush the crust with your milk of choice – this step helps it to brown nicely. If there are any tears in your top crust, never fear! Simply take leftover crust and use decorative cookie cutters to cut out leaves, pumpkins, etc., wet the backside of each cut-out with a dab of milk, then lay on top of any tears to cover the flaw. Fold approximately 1/2 inch of excess pie crust over all around the outside of the pie plate to form the crust edge, then using your fingers, press a fluted design in the crust to finish. Cover crust edges with foil or a pie saver to minimize burning. Remove the foil with 10 minutes left of baking. Single-crust pie: Preheat oven to 375º F and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or follow directions for your specific pie recipe. Double-crust pie: Preheat oven to 400º F and bake for 40 minutes, remove foil and bake for another 1020 minutes or until the juices are bubbling, or follow directions for your specific pie recipe.

Slowly stir the dry mixture into the first bowl, adding water as necessary to create a consistency such that you could make a ball with the dough. Divide the dough in half, cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or until very cold. Preheat oven to 325º F (static) or 300º F (convection). Roll one half out onto a surface dusted with Jules Gluten Free™ All Purpose Flour. The dough should make a large 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick rectangle. You may roll it more thinly or more thickly, depending on how you prefer your cookies: the thinner the dough, the crispier the cookie. Using a pastry wheel cutter (like a small pizza wheel) or a butter knife, cut into smaller rectangles like graham crackers and lift with a spatula onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Finally, prick each cracker with a fork in rows, as you would with a graham cracker. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture before baking, if you like. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until they are lightly browned. Let them cool on the baking sheet 5 minutes before lifting to a cooling rack. Copyright Jules E.

Just make the gluten-free stuffing recipe first thing (bread cubes should already be ready.) However, if you keep the stuffing separate, it will be a better option if you have any vegetarians in attendance. Once again, it’s up to your group’s preferences and traditions. qFor planning purposes, have your turkey done at least an hour or so before you are planning to eat. If you will be making the gravy, you’ll need a little extra time. qBake your rolls and cornbread. These taste especially great if you make them on the day you plan to serve them.

Correctly measure your flour. When measuring flour, don’t scoop from the bag with your measuring cup. This compresses the flour. Use a spoon to scoop flour into the measuring cup and level off with a knife. This will ensure that your flour is measured properly. 2. Bring your ingredients to room temperature before mixing. It is particularly important for yeast recipes that you bring all of your ingredients, such as eggs, to room temperature before adding them together to make bread. Yeast needs warmth to grow and if your ingredients are too cold, it may prevent full yeast growth. 3. Make sure your loaf of bread is actually fully cooked. It is very important not to take your bread out of the oven before it is fully cooked. If the bread has a rubbery layer at the bottom, this usually means it was not fully cooked. The best way to tell if the bread is done is to take a baking thermometer and insert it all the way into the bottom of the loaf. The temperature should be approximately 205-210º F when it is done. Your bread will keep its shape better overcooked than undercooked, so if in doubt, keep it in the oven a bit longer! My recipes have plenty of moisture, so you shouldn’t worry too much about the bread drying out. 4. If baking by oven method, use metal pans. I have found that glass bread pans do not work as well as metal pans in fully cooking a loaf of bread. Metal pans do not have to be fancy or expensive, and you can often even find them in your local grocery store. 5. Rising issues. A great method for letting your yeast breads rise before baking is to turn on your oven to 200º F, then turn it off when it has reached temperature. Put your un-raised bread into the warmed oven with an oiled piece of wax paper on top and a bowl of water in the oven with it, then let it rise according to directions. Once raised, remove the wax paper and bake according to directions. 6. How to prevent your bread from sinking. When your bread is done cooking, turn off the oven and open the door so that the bread can cool slowly. Taking the bread out of a hot oven and quickly transferring it to a cool counter can sometimes cause the loaf to sink in. If it still sinks, it may have too much moisture in it to support itself fully. It should still taste great, but if you have your heart set on a nice crowned loaf, next time try cutting back on the liquid a bit in that recipe or adding 1/4 cup of flaxseed meal to help support the bread’s structure and enhance its nutritional value, all in one! Altitude and even the day’s weather can affect sometimes-picky yeast recipes. [ return to table of contents ] JulesGlutenFree.com Copyright Jules E. Dowler Shepard 2011 Jules’ THANKSGIVING 38 About JULES GLUTEN FREE™ Never one to compromise, celiac patient-expert Jules Shepard was tired of the bland-tasting, gritty compromises too many celiacs suffer with. So she set out to develop a truly allpurpose gluten-free flour she could easily use in her existing recipes. The result is her patent-pending formulation that took this experienced baker more than two years to perfect. Manufactured in a certified allergy-free, gluten-free and kosher facility, Jules Gluten Free™ All Purpose Flour now can be shipped directly to your door. Combined with Jules’ FREE weekly recipe newsletter, Jules Gluten Free™ All Purpose Flour will open many doors for gluten-free eaters…the first of which leads you (back) into your kitchen. “Shepard’s breakthrough was in nailing down a mix of five grains and starches to approximate the properties of wheat flour.” “So she...came up with her own flour mix. And when she entertained, no one could tell they were eating gluten-free.” In addition to heading product and recipe development at Jules Gluten Free™, Jules travels the country speaking to thousands of people annually, teaching cooking classes and educating and inspiring people about her no-compromise approach to living gluten-free. She also has written three books. The First Year: Celiac Disease and Living Gluten-Free is a month-by-month reference for newly diagnosed celiacs and anyone making the transition to living gluten free. Her first book, Nearly Normal Cooking for Gluten-Free Eating continues to be a best-seller in the gluten-free community. Her third book, Free for All Cooking, was released in the Fall of 2010.

Yet it’s called for in every recipe, so I thought I’d say a word about it. As well, many people ask when I teach gluten free cooking classes if they can use another all purpose gluten free flour in my recipes. My answer is always, “I can’t say for sure.” What I can say is that these recipes are tweaked, honed and perfected using Jules Gluten Free™ All Purpose Flour; which is to say that, they’re not typical glutenfree recipes that are developed to compensate for gritty textured glutenfree flours or flours that leave an aftertaste. Since my flour neither is gritty nor leaves a bad aftertaste, there is no need for extra butter or sugar to mask those distasteful qualities. I developed my Jules Gluten Free™ All Purpose Flour to mimic the wheat flour we all grew up baking with. And that it does. Its bulk-to-starch ratio, its texture and its lack of taste were what I was used to baking with before going gluten free. It also accommodates my penchant for baking lowand very-low-fat recipes – something I’ve done my whole life (so adding extra butter and sugar wasn’t acceptable to me...and shouldn’t be for you, either). I know you’ve heard the pitch before from other all-purpose flours. I know you’ve read that they’re cup-for-cup replacements, too. I know you’ve undoubtedly had less than stellar results with them, too. One of the purposes of this e-book, and the photographs of the foods that I’ve made with the recipes, is to prove to you, to celebrate, that making all your favorite recipes, but gluten free, is possible! That indulging once in a while can be as, well, indulgent as you remember. I simply wouldn’t publish a single recipe that wasn’t as good as the original, gluten-FILLED version. I have served, and will continue to serve, ALL of these recipes to ALL of my friends, and they’ll never think I’ve compromised on the taste and texture, nor will they think I feel they should lower their standards to eat my gluten free creations. Here’s what some of my customers have said about my flour. “I recently ordered a bag of your flour, and I LOVE IT!!! I went gluten free this past May and it has been difficult to say the least, to find good flour for baked goods. Thank you for a great product and great service!” “Many thanks to everyone at Jules Gluten Free for making the best product in the world!!!!” – Kim T. Safety Harbor, FL “Gluten Free Flour Power!

Because really it’s all you need.” – Glutenista.com MORE > 41 Jules’ THANKSGIVING [ return to table of contents ] JulesGlutenFree.com About JULES GLUTEN FREE™ All Purpose Flour CONTINUED More Rave Reviews “I’ve worked my way through a couple of five pounds bags of Jules Gluten Free™ All Purpose Flour over the past couple of months and I’m honestly pretty thrilled to have found it. I used it for all my holiday baking, including my old family recipes and some of Jules recipes, and everything I tried turned out great! The test of a great gluten free flour mix is trying it out with everything I used to make before our family began cooking gluten free. I have really “lived” with it, so my love of this flour is not a hasty recommendation. In fact, I have a pantry full of gluten free flours that may have just become obsolete.” – GlutenFreeville.com I want you to love baking again. I want you to look forward, again, to life’s simple, indulgent pleasures: I want you to have a cookie! Try my patent-pending Jules Gluten Free™ All Purpose Flour with confidence. I developed it for you and your family, to make living gluten free at least one bit easier. And, as always, it’s backed by a money-back guarantee if it doesn’t live up to what I hope are your high expectations.
