- This week, many Southern Coloradans will celebrate Thanksgiving with traditional dinners: turkey, potatoes, bread rolls, and more. But for individuals with food allergies, Thanksgiving dinner can be hard to enjoy. Now, one Colorado Springs-based restaurant, homemade-to-go, is working towards fixing that very issue, not just on holidays. For Thanksgiving this year, Megan Fuller created an allergy-friendly Thanksgiving menu. It includes the best of the typical holiday dishes, including cherry pie. The menu is entirely gluten-free.
