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...

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
