<p>OK - I have been trying to follow a more primal diet for a while now and do well other than Scotch, which I absolutely refuse to give up. But I have a question - the holidays are coming up, I live in the south, and cornbread dressing is commandment #1 in the southern holiday cooking bible. I LOVE it, look forward to it between holidays every year, and now find myself anticipating either a miserable thanksgiving or, well, cheating. I happen to be the cook so I do control the ingredients, so.. it's a long shot but does anyone know of a paleo dish that would work instead?</p>

<p>My two cents: just make it as normal, eat it and enjoy it during your holiday fare (unless you are actually allergic or severely intolerant of the original ingredients).</p> <p>I wouldn't try to clone it with almond flour or coocnut flour or whatever. Because -- "flour is flour - nutrient-depleted junk" to quote Peggy Emch (Primal Parent: <a href="http://theprimalparent.com/2011/12/13/are-you-paleo-or-grain-free/" rel="nofollow">source</a>). I know a lot of Paleo peeps really get into making substitutions but to me, they are still far, far from eating "like a dinosaur," hunter/gatherer, or any other ancestral entity.</p> <p>Just be prepared after the holiday celebrations are over, with some good home-brewed chicken stock to help heal and restore your gut.</p>

<p>Screw paleo on holidays, eat the standard fare, it's not (likely) going to kill you. </p> <p>Probably the best alternative you could do is make gluten-free cornbread (Google knows how to make this) and use that to make dressing. </p>

<p>IMO, if you want it that badly, just go for it. Don't eat a ton of it, of course, but a few bites won't kill you.</p> <p>Don't think of it as cheating. Cheating make this sound like a diet. It's splurging!</p>
