Does anyone have any ideas for make-ahead hors d'ouevres?

I'm planning on crudites with hummus and dips.

Thanks!

Glutino Crackers.

Have you tried them? I saw them for the first time in a store recently where I was buying other Glutino products. I was tempted, but for the moment, at least, resisted. I have never found a Glutino product that I didn't like, but often the price is a stopper. Great pretzels, but I already have a mortgage!

The crackers are good, but you need some cheese that "speaks" to overcome the blah. I keep a box or two in my freezer for guests.

Funny about personal taste :lol:

I really liked the Glutino crackers--I thought they were flaky and kind of buttery-tasting. :P

Patti, I never liked bread or crackers before gluten free. Thought it all was "blah". (ain't I the lucky one ;) )

Yeah--that's probably why----they're good, but pretty standard as crackers go. The surprising thing to me was that they didn't taste "gluten-free". :) I think I expected them to be dry and hard.

I absolutely love rumaki. (Bacon-wrapped chestnuts) You can use gluten-free soy for the marinade.

Warm spinach and artichoke dip

Hickory Farms (sausage, cheese, dips)

Cold shrimp with cocktail sauce

(and I love the Glutino crackers - they are worth trying, Peter)

Everyone has great suggestions...I'm getting hungry!!!

How about:

Fruit dip made with strawberry cream cheese, marshmallow fluff and kool whip

buffalo chicken dip with celery, fritos, and corn tostitos

(dip reheats well in microwave if you prep ahead)

Chocolate covered potato chips (ruffle variety works best) and glutino pretzels -- add sprinkles over the chocolate if you want them to look festive.

Have you ever tried dates stuffed with chevre cheese, wrapped in bacon and baked in the oven? Oh my!

mini meatballs, in a gluten free sweet sauce :D

Some ideas:

**deviled eggs

**jalapeno poppers (I make mine without breading. Scoop seeds out of halved jalapenos, mix with cream cheese and shredded cheese. Put cheese mix back into jalapeno halves, wrap with bacon. They are HOT but soooooo tasty. People prefer these over the breaded ones!)

**buffalo wings (Cook chicken tenders/wings/drummettes, coat with a mix of hot sauce and butter. Serve with celery and dip.)

**homemade chocolate covered cherries

I also am a fan of the Glutino crackers. They're great topped with tuna for an emergency lunch.

Wow, all these ideas are making me hungry! I think chocolate covered anything is great! Maybe set out a fondue bowl or small crockpot filled w/ chocolate and various things to dip in it :) Although I suppose this would be more like a dessert idea...but I'd eat it!

I thought chocolate covered potato chips were gross --- until I tried them. The sweet and salty combo is delish --- think chocolate covered pretzels, but slightly different. ;)

Last night I took some vanilla wafers ("Cooking Free" recipe) out of the freezer and put PB between them. Then I melted choc chips to cover the sandwiches, chilled them to harden the chocolate. I didn't get to try them but my dd said they were really good several times. I have to make more soon.

These would be gluten-free/df/egg free.

One of my all time favorites at the holidays are the beef and cream cheese logs that get sliced up and put on a cracker. I don't know what they're called, but if you've had them you know what I'm talking about! It's dried beef laid out in a big rectangle and then you "frost" the beef with cream cheese, line up green olives at one end, then roll it all up and then slice it and serve it on crackers. Since we're a gluten-free household (my son is the Celiac, not me), I didn't plan on eating that any time soon (I don't really care for the Glutino crackers too much.). Then I went to a holiday party that was a cooking class and we made Olive Surprises. They are so yummy! You take a large green olive and smoosh cream cheese around it to make a ball that completely covers the olive. Then roll the balls in walnuts that have been run through the food processor. Oh my gosh! If you like that sort of thing these are amazing! :D Yum! Yum! Yum!

Also, I've been eating cheese slices on Crunchmaster crackers (from Sam's Club) for lunch a lot. The crackers are very crunchy and salty enough to satisfy a salt craving. They'd make an excellent holiday tray. You could also make a honey mustard to dip them in.

Chex Mix is always good with me. We use Rice Chex, Corn Crunch Ems, Gorilla Munch, Glutino pretzels, honey nut "O" type cereal (can't remember the brand, not Perky Os though) and nuts.

Fruit and a fruit dip are always wonderful.

Also from the cooking class...cute little mini corn bread muffins (using the mini muffin tins) with a slice/chunk of hotdog dropped into the center before baking. Make it look really cool by drizzling ketchup and mustard in swirls on the platter before putting the "corn dogs" on top. You can make them ahead of time and then warm them up at party time.

Lastly...a slice of granny smith apple and a slice of brie cheese wrapped in salami. Sounded awful to me, but again, one of my favs!

OK, I want to throw a party now!!!

The other day I made bacon wrapped dates. My husband is a sucker for dates and I'm a sucker for bacon. It was wonderful!!! Pre non-dairy days I used to stuff them with Havarti. But chevre sounds like it would be really good. I'll have to try that next. Thanks for the suggestion!

Every time I taste the pretzels I think they taste buttery! They are so delicious!! I'm on a missions now to find the crackers. I haven't found a cracker yet that I like.

Before I was diagnosed I loved eating salmon and cream cheese on crackers and 'm missed it since making the gluten free switch.

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?
