With the holiday season fast approaching, I’ve gone ahead and pulled together this Ultimate AIP Thanksgiving recipe roundup for you guys from some of my favorite bloggers! I’ve got everything covered, starting with simple appetizers, then moving onto the main event: turkey and gravy, stuffing and cranberry sauce, a few twists on the traditional taters and plenty of side dishes. And if your AIP Thanksgiving is a little fancy, I’ve even rounded up soups and salads for some extra courses. Lastly, since it IS a holiday after all, I’ve found a selection of seasonally themed sweet treats that will finish up this family feast with a bang.
Ready your sweatpants, people!
