Warm Millet Salad with Brussels Sprouts, Creamed Mushrooms and Sage
Here's a hearty, flavorful dish that takes care of a few special diet needs your guests may have. It can simultaneously serve as a gluten-free, vegetarian side dish or a main course for four. Use any mushrooms you like, including cremini, oyster or portobello. For extra flavor and vegetarian protein, garnish with chopped toasted walnuts. Millet has wonderful flavor, especially when toasted and, like quinoa or brown rice, makes an excellent gluten-free stuffing alternative.

Baked Apples Stuffed with Cranberries and Almonds
Serve these tender apples with a sweet-tart filling alongside roasted turkey or pork, a delicious pairing with the apples' hint of cardamom--though you could substitute cinnamon. They make a great stuffing alternative for those who don't eat wheat or gluten. They're also tasty for breakfast, snack or dessert--perhaps with whipped cream.
