Thanksgiving Nachos with Cranberry Sauce?
Why yes! With all the turkey roasting around here at the FODMAP Everyday® Test Kitchen, we had to get creative. If you have Instagram, I encourage you to go take a look at the video we made as we were assembling these Thanksgiving Nachos.
Basically I was in shock and couldn’t believe I was actually drizzling gravy over corn chips and stuffing – and Robin and I were laughing so hard I was about to cry.
A Little of This, A Little of That

I know you might be shaking your head in disbelief, but trust us…you gotta try this.
