Wedding Food?

[Mo92109]

I am getting married in about a year and am stummped for an idea on what to serve! I am doing most of the work myself and thought about going to one of those companies that ship frozen appetizers to you and then I would just have server bake and serve. BUT - none of the sights I have found have any or very little gluten-free options. One idea I had was a cajun/seafood theme, but then just found out my mother is deathly allergic to shellfish and can't even be in the same room with it. I have the cake covered, I am just doing a 3 teir tower with gluten-free and "regular" cupcakes (a gluten-free topper to freeze and save). Anyone have any suggestions on what to serve, just as passed app's or maybe a heavier buffet line?

stuffed mushrooms, gluten-free pasta salad, spinach dip with veggies, cocktail sausages, fruit with fruit dip, cheese tray, I have a few hot dip recipes that are GREAT served with corn chips or veggies, nuts, mints, etc..... yum!

For my sons first birthday party, I am doing some dishes myself too. I am making my gluten free staple, sausage and peppers w/ onions. You can make that with or without red gravy.. they always make a great hit for me. Another half tray I have decided to do is kielbasa with sauerkraut. A yummy alternative to regular sweet italian sausage. Those are the main two that i know of for me now. When you come up with anymore, Can you please post them?? I could use some more ideas myself. Thanks.. hope this helps some!

You could make gluten-free lasagna with meat, or vegetarian. Turkey with rice stuffing or gluten free bread stuffing, chili, you could have a totally gluten-free menu and who would be the wiser. You could have buns on a separate table to avoid cross contamination.

We are doing a wedding for my daughter June 10........Some gluten, others not. Grilled smoked pork tenderloin on the grill a head of time with gluten free dry rub (Emeriles), Polenta, or wild rice - Fresh tomatoes with Motzzerela cheese - sp?, with a gluten free vineagar/balsamic dressing with fresh parsley or basel. - Cheese and pate's with various crackers and breads (not me). Cheese is good and pates. Smoked Salmon with Emerils dry rub for Salmon. I can eat almost everything except for the bread.

Sorry about the spelling, drank a milkshake in the way back from the beach - a white poop event tonight.

Many things I can eat, but the obvious will be there. We set it up so some of the older people can make a plate, or you could stand and munch.

Work with your cater and request specific seasonings and you should do well and have a wonderful time.

PM me if you have any other questions, perhaps I can be of help.

Thanks guys, very helpful. Never thought about grilling anything, but don't see why not.
