Help! I'm hosting a huge Grand Opening party for my new dance studio next week and I need some simple gluten-free appetizers that I can make up quickly and easily. I have very little time or money to devote to this, but would like to have a few finger foods along with some beer and wine for the guests.

Thanks in advance!

How about gluten free crackers with whipped avacado's spread on top? If you can have dairy you can add a little sour cream to it. If you can't, its nice all by itself. Add a little lemon juice and it will stay nice longer.

Add some gluten free sliced olive pieces, pimento or any other tasty little thing (even baby shrimp) that would make it look nice.

gluten-free Taco chips and gluten-free salsa are always nice.

If you want to spend a little more time at it...you can take a gluten-free tortilla and spread gluten-free refried beans on it and sprinkle cheese on it and roll it up tight. Then slice it into bite size pieces. Leave off the cheese if you can't have dairy. You can serve it with little tooth picks in each peace with a bowl of salsa.

You can serve a nice bowl of ice with shrimp lined up along the edges with a red seafood sauce in the middle.

Cut up cheeses, with a basket of mixed gluten-free crackers is nice too.

Cut up vegies with ranch dressing is also great. There are so many ideas....think of what you would love to eat at your favorite restaurant...just turn it into a gluten free item! We used to have a B&B and the most simplest of things impressed people if it was served in something unique! Have a great time!!!

Let me think of a few:

Cream Cheese with Pepper Jelly over, with crackers (gluten free other for guests)

Chunks of various cheese with grapes

Hot artichoke dip, with tortilla chips

Chopped artichoke, mayo, lemon juice and broiled

Veggie tray with Marie's Ranch Dressing

Hillshire Farms mini's in Sweet Baby Rays B'q sauce and add grape jelly in a crock pot, serve with toothpicks

Mexican dip..layer bean dip, guackp), taco sauce, sour cream, tomatoes, and top with cheese, server with chips.

All are easy and can be done ahead of time. Good luck on your opening. Wish you well with success :)

I'm a fan of hummus and veggies. Cheese if you can do that one. Do you have time to make some muffins as a dessert? Put those out with some fruit maybe?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
