Anyone Have gluten-free Chanukah Recipes To Share?

I was diagnosed in early Nov. I managed to get through Thanksgiving. Now, I am thinking about gluten-free items to cook for Chanukah. Also, on the holiday topic - how do you handle eating out for New YEar's Eve if not a specific gluten-free restaurant? Thanks! Happy Holidays!

I am not Jewish, but have had friends that are, so hope this doesn't seem like a stupid question - is challah bread served for Chanukah? I have a challah recipe from one of my Gluten free Gourmet cookbooks. Let me know if you are interested and I will post it.

Thank you. I am interested in the recipe, but not quite ready to make my own bread. I am still learning about CF and gluten-free diet - diagnosed 11/3/05.

Hi Jessica,

Everybody Eats Inc. has a challah bread you can order as well as chanukah cookies (which I think are their sugar cookies cut into menorahs and dreidels).

You can make potato pancakes gluten free as long as you don't add the matzoh meal. It might not hold together as well but the taste should still be virtually the same. I've always had ones made from scratch but if you want an easier way I believe Manischevitz potato latke mix is gluten-free. You can find it in supermarkets.

Let me know what else you had in mind that you wanted and I'll see if i can help.

I'll be sure to pass on the recipe. If you don't mind, I would like to type it out tonight - its a bit of a lenghty recipe and I've got to get out and run errands this morning. What sort of foods are normally served during Chanukah? Maybe if you posted some of the traditional foods, others might have suggestions for ingrediant substitutions. Opps, while I was writing, jkmunchkin posted some ideas... Well, even if you can order the bread, I'll post the recipe anyway in case someone is interested.

I know this is a bit late for Chanukah -- sorry, but I just found this forum today. For future reference, I make amazing latkes using potato flour instead of matzah meal. They hold together just as well as anyone else's, and several people have told me that my latkes are among the best they've ever tasted.

Challah isn't exactly a Hanukah food; it's traditionally eaten at Friday night and Saturday meals, as part of the Sabbath celebration. That said, there's always a Sabbath during the 8 days of Hanukah! By the way, challah (gluten-free or otherwise) makes terrific french toast -- perfect for Sunday brunch.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
