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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.
