Kara Yorio at NorthJersey.com poses a holiday conundrum:

Thanksgiving is almost here, but this year’s table has just been turned upside down. Uncle Harry was diagnosed with celiac disease and is now gluten free. Cousin Kristin’s fiancé is a vegan. Grandpa has diabetes. And Billy from down the street is allergic to nuts. Take a deep breath. All is not lost. As a matter of fact, after the initial panic passes, it can come together quite easily.

The rest of the article has suggestions for food choices and etiquette. For example, a stuffed butternut squash can be an entree instead of dead turkey. And mashed potatoes can be made with olive oil instead of butter and milk.

She also suggests the following resources:

• “Clean Start” 100 vegan and gluten-free recipes by Terry Walters
• “The Meat Lover’s Meatless Cookbook” by Kim O’Donnel
• “Cooking Light Way to Cook Vegetarian” by the editors of Cooking Light magazine
• Wholefoods.com
• glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com
• vegweb.com
