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....
