Third, I don’t know what happened, but the links from last week disappeared at some point, so I know many of you couldn’t enter. I really don’t know what happened. I need to email the Linky people, since it does seem to drop out from time to time.

Thanks to all those that did enter! You could make a lovely Allergy-Friendly Thanksgiving Feast just out of these recipes.   Some fabulous highlights from this past week are:

Please add your links to Allergy-Friendly Friday. Keep up the allergy-friendly thanksgiving theme if you like.  PLEASE remember you have to link back from your post, for me to feature your recipe. That means link WITH A HYPERLINK THAT LINKS BACK HERE. When you link back to this post,  you can share both your own and other’s fabulous allergy-friendly recipes. Am I repeating myself? 🙂 And remember, I specialize in creating gluten-free recipes that are free of the top 8 food allergens, but yours don’t have to be. They just have to be allergy-friendly in SOME way.

Allergy Friendly Friday

(TGIAFF)

Look at this ginormous cauliflower that my son Monte picked yesterday on our field trip to Underwood Farm, in Moorpark, CA!  I can’t stop thinking about all the things I can make with it. Cream of Cauliflower Soup, Cauliflower au Gratin, Roasted Cauliflower…. the Thanksgiving side dish possibilities are endless.  This Allergy-Friendly Friday, it would be great if you all could post Thanksgiving themed recipes, if you have them.

I’m off to San Francisco in about 25 minutes for the first shoot for my new cookbook. So excited to share it with you as soon as I can!  It will be out November, 2012, but I’ll give you more info sooner than that, of course.

Sunday, I’ll be on the “Removing One Food and Finding Many Others” panel at the IFBC in Santa Monica, so come join us if you are around.

Frigidaire Talk Turkey Round Table Save the Children Charity

Jennifer Garner swapped turkey tips with fellow moms/bloggers* in Los Angeles to launch Frigidaire’s new Range with Symmetry™ Double Ovens.

Last wednesday, I had the lovely privilege of joining Jennifer Garner, Suzanne Goin, and a select handful of super-powered Mom/Food Bloggers as we shared Thanksgiving traditions and recipe tips. This event was the launch of the new Frigidaire Gallery® Range with Symmetry™ Double Ovens that roasts two large turkeys at once. (plus it preheats in a mere 4 minutes, which I find jaw-droppingly-awesome) Check out Jennifer opening that drool-worthy oven below!  Can you imagine being able to do all your holiday roasting and baking at one time? And the great news is that  Frigidaire is donating $200 to Save the Children’s U.S. Programs for each new range purchased this holiday season. But WAIT, that’s not what this post is about! This post is about giving, not purchasing. The really really special news is that all you readers can help contribute to this charity, and enter the sweepstakes, all with the click of a button!

First, Frigidaire will donate 1 turkey gift certificate to Save the Children for distribution to a family in need each day you view Jennifer Garner’s turkey tips and register between 9/21/11 and 12/31/11. Gift certificate value $20.00 with a maximum donation value of $11,000.

Second, Frigidaire will donate $1 to Save the Children each day you view Jennifer Garner’s turkey tips and register between 9/21/11 and 12/31/11 with a minimum $38,000 and a maximum of $43,000, as part of their $500,000 commitment to Save the Children’s U.S. Programs.

Lastly, NO PURCHASE OR DONATION NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN.  This is a charity event!  Sweepstakes ends 12/31/11.

So watch the videos as often as possible, and please please share this post with your friends, via twitter, and on your facebook pages. Together we dan really make a difference in the lives of the 1 in 5 children suffering from hunger in the United States!

ps, have I mentioned how much I liked Jennifer Garner? She and I both share a Martha Stewart love, she’s kind to everyone, and she’s funny (major points!).  She is the real deal, if ever there was one.
