Crimson Wife Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 My family recently made the switch to gluten- and dairy-free and this is our first holiday meal. Anybody have any yummy GF recipes to share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoVanGogh Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) Ham Twice baked potato casserole (Paula Dean recipe) http://kitchen-goddess.yumsugar.com/Paula-Deens-Twice-Baked-Potatoes-768746 Green veggie (peas? broccoli? asparagus? can't decide) Salad Rolls (not gf) It is just three of us normally, but we have two elderly relatives in town this year. They don't eat much so I'm still planning a fairly simple meal. Dessert - cranberry cheesecake, fudge and truffles (all gf) - plus cookies (not gf) http://www.dianasdesserts.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/recipes.recipeListing/filter/dianas/recipeID/591/Recipe.cfm Key lime fudge: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/key-lime-fudge-10000001923820/ Edited December 22, 2011 by Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess in the Burbs Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 well, Christmas is my ds birthday, so he picks the meal. Christmas is pancakes(gluten free box mix) with dairy free chocolate chips, and gluten free BBQ chicken pizza for late lunch. It has normal cheese on it but you could certainly substitute with something else like goat cheese. Christmas eve I had grand plans but we are all very, very sick. At this point I don't know if I will make it to the store to get food. Which means it will be tacos :lol::tongue_smilie: I had wanted to go a breakfast casserole. Anyway, we have been gluten free for years now and I just substitute in recipes to make it gluten free. We were dairy free for years long ago so I know it's possible to make good meals without. Just look at your favorites and substitute cheese where you can or look for recipes that don't call for the dairy. There are so many options now then there was 10 years ago for restricted diets let me tell you! :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I have a friend with a blog with many yummy gf recipes Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 No idea yet, but tonight we are going to our friends' house and I'm teaching her how to make latkes and maybe jelly donuts. (I'll make both gf) And she's going to take me for everything I have in "high stakes dreidel". :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoVanGogh Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 well, Christmas is my ds birthday, so he picks the meal. ...Anyway, we have been gluten free for years now and I just substitute in recipes to make it gluten free. We have an almost-Christmas baby. He was born early on the 26th, though I was in the hospital on the 24th and again on the 25th, so in my mind he's a Christmas baby even if he missed it by a few hours. (He wasn't due until mid-Feb. Fun Christmas, that was. Not.) I'm making this for his birthday this year, just subbing a gf cake mix - http://www.confessionsofacookbookqueen.com/2011/11/cherry-vanilla-dr-pepper-cupcakes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the menu. My dad I'll grill some meat and there will be steamed veggies and salad. I will bring gf cornbread, gf apple pie, gf cf pumpkin pie.

Margaret in GA Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I'm the only one GF/DF in our family, but my 12 yo ds is also dairy free. Christmas morning we've always made crepes. You can make them GF as we discovered last year and they taste just as good. So, those filled with salmon/soy cream cheese/ parsley/ green onions and strawberry and soy whipped cream filling for the kiddos. Christmas dinner is gf mushroom stuffing (I just substitute Uti's bread in my regular recipe), rib roast, popovers (this is my first year making these gf and I may make both kinds in case they flop), roast potatoes, brussels sprouts, salad All my cookies so far this season have been gf and no one has complained at all ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaichiki Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) We're *sometimes* gf... and we're not df... but here are the items from our Christmas weekend that are both. :001_smile: pepper slices, baby carrots, and baby tomatoes with hummus chips and guacamole shrimp with tails and cocktail sauce grilled asparagus, sea scallops, and crab cakes (mango and tomato salsa) spicy-lime tilapia chili and cornbread corn and black bean salad spinach, shrimp, and mandarin orange salad ETA: We're trying to go low-carb, too, for a family member who is heading towards diabetes. He's changing his diet as per doctor's orders. Anybody with knowledge in this area care to tell me how those menu items line up? (crossing fingers here) There will also be pumpkin bisque soup (not df), cream cheese stuffed celery with raisins (not df), and a selection of cheeses (obviously not df).

mommymilkies Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 We are having: Ham with cloves and brown sugar glaze sweet potato casserole Mashed potatoes Green beans Cranberry sauce (I have like 15 lbs of cranberries to use!) Dessert: Leftover birthday cupcakes from my Christmas Eve baby Fudge Salted caramels Daim Torte (homemade) Possibly a gluten free Charlotte. But I'm not 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in the UP of MI Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) It's just our family, so it's a pretty simple menu. We're having: ham mashed potatoes salad plus desert: flour-less peanut butter cookies drizzled in chocolate one more thing, maybe some type of gluten-free brownies We are very new to being gluten-free. Only dh is totally gluten-free. The kids and I still eat it, but I try to plan our dinners to be gluten-free as much as possible. ETA: My youngest kids are sensitive to dairy (can have some but no straight milk or yogurt, and can't have too much in other dishes), so I've been experimenting with using plain rice milk in things like quiches, egg bakes, and gluten-free sweet breads. We learned that rice milk often has small amounts of gluten in it (when you buy it from the store) so I'm going to be trying to make some myself soon.

The Trader Joe's brand rice milk says that it's GF. The one that my local Safeway sells (I think it's called Rice Dream) had one of the no-no's listed in the ingredients (malt perhaps?)

Jane Elliot Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) HamTwice baked potato casserole (Paula Dean recipe) http://kitchen-goddess.yumsugar.com/Paula-Deens-Twice-Baked-Potatoes-768746 Thanks for the twice baked potato recipe. I was looking for something like that and will be trying it. In addition, we're having Paula Deen's fresh ham, New York Cheesecake, vegetables, and a salad. We get sick on cured ham every time. Now we order ours fresh, and Paula Deen's recipe is amazing. ETA: Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. The cheesecake is obviously not dairy free. I really don't know what I'd do if I had to come up with a gf/df dessert. Edited December 23, 2011 by Luann in ID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
