We had a delicious Thanksgiving of duck, mashed root vegetables (parsnips, turnips & carrots), gluten-free stuffing, cranberry sauce and broccoli. There was gluten-free apple pie for dessert. #thanksgiving #yum https://www.instagram.com/p/CWuCvaSlPSq/?utm_medium=tumblr

The only time our table has been completely free of papers in 2021. Happy Thanksgiving! #thanksgiving https://www.instagram.com/p/CWtoiyBF-RR/?utm_medium=tumblr
