Holidays
Hors D’œuvres
The
holidays are a time for entertaining our family and friends. Living
on a gluten-free diet sometimes challenges arise during family
gatherings. How do you know that the food offered is truly gluten-free
and not subject to cross-contamination issues? If you are the
host, planning a menu that is gluten-free and as delicious, if
not more, as the gluten-variety can be an intimidating task. If
you plan on attending Thanksgiving dinner somewhere other than
your own home, offer to bring one or two appetizers. Not only
will this alleviate some of the stress of the Thanksgiving preparations
for the host, but it will also give you peace of mind that you
will enjoy something that you are confident is truly gluten-free.
This year we would like to offer you some delicious gluten-free
appetizer ideas that will satisfy all your family and friends.
