A gluten free pumpkin roll is always on my Thanksgiving dessert list each year. My celiac and gluten sensitive friends like their fall treats too! So, with hosting responsibilities on my mind, I’d like to give you and I another way to please our guests.
The best part is…they won’t even recognize the slight change in ingredients.
As our fall holiday plans begin to take shape and we check off our list of things to do, the blessings mount, don’t they? You and I may have managed to lose a little weight, or we are maintaining our current weight!
Whoop Hoo! What if we just want to sustain a healthier eating pattern?
Whatever the plans and dreams in our hearts we have an opportunity this Holiday to give glory to God in thanks and praise.
He restores joy and long months of distance by giving us time together for a holiday. The prolonged separation helps us see how much we miss and need each other.
May the Lord draw us closer spiritually as we gather and cherish this special day.
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
Psalms 9:1
The big plus for a gluten free pumpkin roll is decreasing exposure to wheat sensitive guts that stimulate the immune system to attack itself. We will both benefit from a little diligence in decreasing inflammation, right?
Since our immune systems can be under constant attack eating a few ultra -processed foods. Food sensitivities play a role in making us feel bad. Staying on track is important to both of us. That’s why you’ll find me giggling like a schoolgirl when I get to brainstorm ideas with my clients.
They love creating their own meal plans to enjoy!
Now when it comes to baking, I am not the best gluten free baker. However, I care about the people in my life who are susceptible to the damaging effects of wheat.
So, even though developing this recipe took several tries, it was worth it!
The one I made for a friend’s dinner and went over pretty well. Therefore, I hope it is a pumpkin roll you can use too!
