As I wrote at my Such Treasures blog, I prefer a low-key Christmas. So does my family. This means we all get on very together. 
Still, we will have some good food, albeit not alot of dishes. Here’s what I’m planning.
- Heirloom turkey from local farm, B & K Natural Farm. In the last year, we’ve enjoyed three turkeys from them and they were all fabulous. Just the best, most flavorful turkeys we’ve ever had. See my tips for a perfectly moist turkey every time.
- Smashed red potatoes and gravy
- Salad
- Pumpkin Pie. I am going to try a sprouted grain pie crust for the first time. Hope it works! I wonder if my friend Tiffany has a recipe in her new cookbook?
- Vanilla Ice Cream
And that’s it! We’re looking forward to the leftovers this year because we can have turkey sandwiches with sprouted grain bread. Ooh, sandwiches. This previously gluten-free family loves sandwiches again. We always did love sandwiches, but since we couldn’t have them for a couple of years, our current appreciation for them is heightened.
What’s on the menu for your families?

Wardeh,
Hi, your menu sounds good. I haven’t made sprouted wheat (grain) pie crust before—yet. But you could use the recipe in my book for whole wheat pie crust. Use sprouted wheat then dehydrate it and grind it. I am pretty sure it would turn out very nice. Hope you still have time to try it. Let me know how it goes.
Love,
Tiffany
You were not too late with suggesting this recipe, Tiffany. Although I did not end up making a pie. I didn’t feel too well on Christmas Day, so I never baked the pie. I want to try your recipe soon, though. Instead of butter, do you think I could use coconut oil? Love, Wardeh
