Two Clean Recipes for Thanksgiving
Two Thanksgiving recipes to help liven up your holiday meal while keeping it simple and clean. Grain-free stuffing and a green bean casserole.
This time of year reminds us how much we have to be grateful for - those big, bold happenings in our lives and then those seemingly small, sweet moments we cherish forever.
What’s awesome is that we get the best of both of those worlds on Thanksgiving. Which is why it really is a special time to gather and connect with family and friends. And share a meal while we're at it.
We’re sharing a couple of the TGK family’s favorite Thanksgiving recipes if you wish to prepare a meal or side dishes with good, clean, whole ingredients.
We believe in nothing but the best for a special meal like this. Gather, feast, and enjoy.
