Does anyone have any good appetizer receipes that are of course gluten-free? Looking for some fairly easy receipes. Open to any suggestions.

Thanks!

I'm not sure how fancy you are looking for. I personally don't have the need for anything too fancy so here is what I sometimes serve for appetizers/ finger foods.

Rotel cheese dip and mission corn chips

Hot Artichoke Dip with veggies and tortilla strips

Hillshire farm little smokies in bbq sauce

appetizer meatballs

fiesta taco dip (layer dip)

Salsa and tortilla chips

Those are some off the top of my head.

I always post this as an appetizer :ph34r: But I do love it and this is the season for it. I love cantelope wrapped in prosciutto (sp). Nice combination of saltiness and sweetness.

What type of party are you doing? Family party? Dinner party? Cocktail party? Casual or fancy?

I was just wondering if prosciuto (sp?) is gluten-free.... Because the first thing I thought of is prosciuto wrapped asparagus. You could do a platter of asparagus, melon and prosciuto.

Veggie platter.

I also used to know someone who would roll cream cheese in ham (is ham gluten-free?) and hold it together with a toothpick. Yummy! And very pretty if you take the time to make it all spirally.

Delimex frozen taquitos (as long as you make sure and get the ones made with corn tortillas) are gluten-free. That's one thing that you wouldn't have to worry about "making".

Nuts, as long as no one is tree nut or peanut allergic.

Deviled Eggs. (make sure all your ingredients for making them are gluten-free)

Fruit and or cheese in slices or chunked/cubed on toothpicks.

Cool Ranch Doritos are gluten-free. So are most potato chips. Those are always a hit, and easy.

Guacamole!

Olives, pickles (are they gluten-free?)

Celery filled with peanut butter, cream cheese or even Easy Cheese (the spray cheese in the aerosol can). The Sharp Cheddar and American flavors are gluten-free, but NOT the one with bacon in it. I'm a big fan of Easy Cheese in celery at a party. I've found that most people, even if they're too embarassed to buy it themselves, will SCARF it down at a party. It's one of those nostalgia foods that brings us all back to childhood.

I'm hosting Christmas Eve this year, and I'm doing a gluten-free version of how I grew up; buffet/appetizers. So this has gotten my ideas going...

I am having a Birthday party - pretty casual. The tequitos are a very good idea. So the Delimex are gluten free??? I know I used to buy tequitos, but assumed they had gluten and never looked again. Can't say I remember the brand I used to purchase.

Thanks for the info.

It needs to be the Delimex Shredded Chicken In Corn Tortillas (the beef has wheat added to it)

I thought the beef in corn tortilla ones were gluten-free too. I mostly give them to my kids, so I don't remember if I've tried them since going gluten-free.

Thanks for the heads up. This is a good reminder for all of us to read those labels even if you've been buying something forever.

Beef in the corn is fine......beef in the flour tortilla is not. At least last time I checked/bought delimex.

I've used this recipe for spinach dip. I just substitute the flour for some corn starch. It's not a quick thing to make but it's incredible.

I have a group of people coming on Friday for dinner. I have the dessert menu (the most important part of the meal) set and pretty set on a chicken w/white sauce lasagna for dinner but I'm coming up empty on appetizers. Since we will be standing around talking for awhile before dinner, I would really like to have something either room temp or chilled-but I'm tired of my stand-bys of veggies/dip, queso, salsa, etc. Anyone have ideas they want to share? Asparagus is on sale this week and my family loves it so anything with that would be great!

Thanks,

-Cathy :D

Oh I forgot-I do know how to spell hors d'oeuvre! :lol: Horse Dovers is how my oldest, now 16 pronounced it when she was little and it stuck in our family!

Cheese and Kabana ( I don't know if you can gluten-free in the Us) with rice crackers always go down well, You could also put cheese Kabana and those little onions on toothpicks.

I have also books that have biscuits with dips or little bits of food on them, you may be able to find a recipe and trade the biscuits for rice crackers.

:( I wish I had my gluten-free cookbook with me, it has a whole section on party food (silly me forgot it when I moved)

I have a recipe for the best dip EVER... sounds too easy to be true, and it is! It's an artichoke/spinach dip that is always a huge hit... I usually wing this and have never written it down, but you'll get the idea...

1 can (drained) artichoke hearts

1 package frozen spinach - fresh is better if still available, or no spinach at all is good too!

1 cup sour cream

1 cup mayo

1 cup parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to about 375. Chop up artichokes after draining (use more that one can if not using spinach), chop however chunky you want, chop up spinach or add thawed... Then mix in all three cups of sour cream, mayo & parmesan, mix together and put in the oven with tin foil over the top. Bake that for about 20-30 minutes, check on it -- then remove foil and bake another 10-15 minutes till top browns a bit.

YUM -- serve with veggies, gluten-free corn chips, gluten free crackers, gluten free rolls broken up (chebe) or whatever else you want to dip!!

Let me know if you have any questions...

      I shop a fair bit with Azure Standard.

      fwiw, I add nutritional yeast to some of my recipes. since going gluten free I eat almost no processed foods but I imagine you could sprinkle yeast on top.

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues. The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS.

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem. Just a few other thoughts. I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946, as an alternative to milk-based protein shakes, let me suggest whey protein. Whey and casein are the two main proteins found in milk but whey doesn't cause issues like casein can for celiacs. Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations...

I buy some foods on your list from Rani. I've been happy with their products. https://ranibrand.com/ Azure and Rani often use terms that skirt around explicit "gluten free". I've contacted both of them and gained some comfort but it's always hard to be certain. FWIW, my IgA antibody levels are very low now, (after including their foods in my diet) so it appears I am being successful at avoiding gluten.

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues.  The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS. (300 mg/day) Vitamin B 1 Thiamine improves dysphagia, and with Omega Threes, Sjogren's, and PCOS.     (300 mg/day) The other B vitamins are needed as well because they all work together like an orchestra.   The fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, are needed as well.  Low Vitamin D is common in both PCOS and Celiac and depression.   Deficiencies in Niacin Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, Folate B 9, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D can cause mental health issues.   I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants.  My mental health issues didn't get better until my vitamin deficiencies were corrected and a gluten free keto/paleo diet adopted.   Though blood tests are not really accurate, you may want to get tested for deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise you'll be measuring the vitamins you've taken and blood tests will show blood levels that are too high. Yes, Thiamine TTFD and the other vitamins are available over-the-counter.  A B Complex with additional Thiamine TTFD and Niacin made a big difference to my health.  I follow a paleo diet, and make sure I get Omega Threes.  I took high dose Vitamin D to correct my deficiency there.   I've run through the mental health gamut if you would like to talk about your issues.  You can personal message us if you would be more comfortable.   Interesting Reading: Nutritional and herbal interventions for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): a comprehensive review of dietary approaches, macronutrient impact, and herbal medicine in management https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12049039/

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem.   Just a few other thoughts.  I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.  I was never admitted to a hospital but thankfully had a lot of support from friends and family, and found a couple of publications contained really helpful advice:  for depression, The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi, and for debilitating anxiety, At Last A Life by Paul David.  Both can be ordered online, there is also a website for the latter.  If you are deficient in or have low iron or B12 this can cause or worsen mental health issues.  I am sure my own issues were caused by long-term deficiencies.   If you can get your blood tested, it would be useful.  In the case of iron, make sure you only supplement if you have a deficiency, and levels can be monitored, as too much iron can be dangerous. If you have burning mouth issues, very bad TMJ or neuralgia,  I understand the pain can be managed by the use of a certain class of medication like amitriptyline, which is also used to treat depression.  But there again, it is possible with the correct diet and supplementation these issues might improve? I do hope that you find relief soon. Cristiana

Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations for being celiac safe. Most celiacs find that they need to depend on family members to advocate for them diligently or bring in food from the outside. Training of staff is inconsistent and there is the issue of turnover and also cross contamination.
