I have a few Christmas parties I will be attending and I said I would bring an appetizer. Of course, I will take advantage of this and bring something I can eat. :) Any good and simple holiday appetizer ideas?! I already have devil eggs on the list. :)

Cheese balls are so easy to make and can be made and stored several days in advance. Bring along the nut thins or rice crackers to serve with them.

Salsa and chips. I got fancy and added crab to a mixed bell pepper salsa one year.

cheese and fruit trays

Hormel makes cheese and meat trays that are gluten-free-salami, summer sausage and pepperoni. Just remove the crackers(which are well sealed so no CC).

You can make your own seasoned nuts or homemade chex mix.

many cocktail weiner or meatball recipes can be made gluten-free, many dips as well-serve with veggies

One of my favorites is a twist on a spring roll:

take rice paper and spray it with nonstick spray (or just brush with oil) and wedge into a mini muffin tin pan. Bake until brown and crispy (I think I do so about 400 degrees, maybe 5-10 min.)

Then cool and fill with a warm egg roll filling (cabbage, ground pork, seasonings) or something asian

These are insanely easy (but require some plan ahead time) and are hugely popular.

Here's the link to my version of egg roll filling: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=64419

My response is the second one after the original post.

stuffed mushrooms: 1 roll sausage and 1 block of cream cheese (reduced and non fat work just fine)

Saute sausage til done, mix in softened cream cheese. Add a little sage and pepper. Stuff 24 mushroom caps, bake for 30 min at 350. Delicious!

I made this cheese ball yesterday, for tonight:

Open Original Shared Link

I used 1/2 a pkg of ranch dressing mix, added a dash of garlic powder and added green onions and crumbled bacon.

Every New Years, I make Bacon Chestnut Wraps. If you search the web there are lots of recipes. I can post mine later if you want it. We look forward to it every year!!!!

It has homemade sauce using ketchup, brown sugar and garlic powder, tastes like BBQ.

I just did a really yummy veggie dip. I'm dairy intolerant, so I picked up some tofutti "better than sour cream," added a ranch dressing packet, and voila - chip and veggie dip that tastes just like it should. super yummy.

I went to a womens church party last night. The gluten-free items were the ones missy'smom posted except for chips and salsa. There was also a cream cheese block, spinach dip, chicken salad for scooping, egg salad (served on breads), potato chips, a pot of soup, stuffed celery sticks (looked like cream cheese and something pink like crab), a spinach salad and dressing, some kind of egg and potato thingy...

I think some mixed nuts, a fresh cut pineapple and assorted cheese slices (only saw cheddar cubes) would have been a nice addition to the table. Didn't see any olives.

Bacon stuffed cherry tomatoes. Just do a search, there are plenty of recipes out there.

Hummus cups. Cut cucumbers (peeled or unpeeled) into inch high or so chunks. Scoop out the middle leaving a cup and fill with hummus.

Pecan stuffed dates. Really easy and yummy.

Make a slit lengthwise in top half of date and remove pit. Put in a toasted pecan half. You can also put a dab of cream cheese in before the pecan.

Have you heard of Smokey Rolls? If you have a good roll recipe, just wrap the roll dough around a "little smokey" and bake.

This is always a hit...

Pepperoni Pizza Dip (but can omit pepperoni and do plain or green peppers, etc for vegetarian)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

Italian seasoning

Garlic powder

8 oz tomato/pasta sauce

8 oz shredded mozzarella/Italian cheese

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Pepperoni slices cuts into small pieces (enough to cover dish)

Mix cream cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder (to taste) and spread in the bottom of a dish (I use a Pampered Chef mini baker which holds about 4 cups I think). Cover with tomato/pasta sauce. Combine shredded cheese and parmesan cheese and layer it on top of the sauce. Add the pepperonie pieces on top and sprinkle with a little garlic powder (I like garlic! You can omit, just do whatever you like with the spices). Bake 15-20 minutes or until the pepperoni is cooked and cheese is bubbly. I sometimes also double the recipe which works well in a pie plate, just bake longer. Serve with tortilla chips. Pre gluten free I used to serve with baguette slices but then switched to tortilla chips when DD was diagnosed...funny thing is, everyone likes it with tortilla chips better! Enjoy!

That sounds great! And I have all those ingredients too! I just saw a similar recipe for bacon cheddar.

I made a layer dip: refried beans, homemade guacamole (see any recipe book), fresh salsa (from Giant food), and since I can't have dairy, tofutti sour cream mixed with a taco seasoning packet and rice cheddar cheese. No one know the difference, and everyone loved it. What didn't get eaten (not a lot of people there) we put over tacos last night. Holy cow, were they awesome!

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
