With the holidays coming up, there is a lot of cooking on the horizon. But holiday cooking can be tricky when you can’t eat gluten, or if you’re cooking for someone who can’t. To make it a bit easier, I’m pulled together a list of recipes to make. I’ve broken them into categories (drinks, entrees, etc.) and, where applicable, I’ve broken those categories down even farther. That being said, let’s get into these gluten-free holiday recipes!

Whoa! What a fantastic resource. Thank you!
Of course! Happy cooking/eating!
Thanks for going to all the work of finding these recipes. I’ve saved several already.
Of course! Finding gluten-free recipes in general isn’t that hard, but I really wanted to find some that weren’t ONLY gluten-free, which was a bit trickier. I know that I’m not alone in having intolerances to other foods, and if a dish is gluten-free but also reliant on dairy, I can’t eat it. And that’s no fun to realize a delicious looking dish is out of the question!
So many great options here! My sister has been eating gluten-free for years, so it’s always a fun challenge to come up with replacements for some of our traditional holiday favorites that she can enjoy as well.
Yes! I’m not going to lie – when there started being better quality GF items, I was annoyed that it meant I now had to share my food. I was so used to having an entire apple crisp to myself!
A lot of options to choose from!
While I’m not gluten intolerant, I know it can be pretty bad for some people.
It really can! And there are already so many things that make the holidays stressful. Hopefully this post will be one that makes it a bit easier!
