February 14th: Gluten Free Valentines Day

With
Valentines day
on its way my mind often turns to baking for a loved one. I hate
getting caught up in to much commercialism so a small treat like
chocolates or baked goods seems like an excellent way to a loved ones
heart. But what if they have allergies?
I know my
boyfriend hates the idea of cooking for me as he fears poisoning
me, The last thing he wants to do it make me ill. If you need some valentines Day Inspiration read on...
Gluten Free Easter
Easter bunnies on his way... will he bring gluten free treats with him
today?
Easter conjurs up images of Hot Cross Buns, Chocolate Eggs,
Chocolate Rabbits and indulgence.
Easter is one of my favourite
holidays as it seems to have become an all you can eat pass to the land
of chocolate.
Gluten Free Halloween
CANDY CANDY CANDY CANDY! Sometimes I find eating candy to be like
playing roulette. If I have not had a chance to read the label of a
party mix before it is placed into the bowl on the table in frount of
me I wrestle with my concious weighing up if its worth having a gluten
hangover should the lollies come from wheat glucose if I sample this
possibly forbidden fruit.
Gluten Free Thanksgiving

Being Gluten free doesnt mean carrot sticks and celery for thanks
giving.
Turkey,
Cranberry Sauce, Sweet Potatoes, Marshmellows, Pumpkin
Pie.... . I
am salivating just thinking about the amazing food and the stretchy
pants I will need to wear as I ingest them
Gluten Free Hanukkah
The
Jewish festival of Hanukah is one of the easiest holidays for
gluten-free diets. Potato latkes (pancakes), one of the classic Hanukah
foods can be easily make into a gluten free treat by using gluten-free
flour or potato starch instead.
Gluten Free Christmas

When
I was first diagnosed gluten free I found Christmas Lunch and Dinner to
be depressing. When visiting extended family the vast majority of the
food was on my naughty list and my Christmas feed would normally
consist of ham, peas and potatoes.
SO I took the liberty of
creating a Gluten Free Christmas Cookbook that was filled with gluten
free (and some dairy free) options for Gluten Free Christmas Dinner to
give you a little inspiration so you do not have to go without.
The best thing is the food is so good that even a gluten eater will
love it.
Gluten Free Birthdays
Birthdays are a time for celebration...
and CAKE! Getting your icing fix does not mean eating gluten! I have
found gluten free cakes and cupcakes to be some of the easiest items to
bake gluten free and these are excellent things to serve at birthday
parties or meals with friends and family.
Gluten Free Weddings
The Dress, The Tux, The Invitations... THE
MEAL! Feeding allergic people at weddings does not have to be
stressful. Food allergies are becoming more common these days and many
catering companies are able to provide gluten free, dairy free, egg
free and nut free option assuming you give them advanced notice.
Remeber to ask your guests if they have any allergies when they R.S.V.P
so you can organise your menu....

hear about them but I have also started a page where you can add and
