I threw a Christmas Party for 30 people - the food was fantastic!

[Guest guest]

The food at our annual Christmas party was so delicious! Except for gluten

crackers served with the cheese spread (my husband prefers saltine crackers),

the rest of the food was g-f and enjoyed by all!

Appetizers were potato chips and onion dip (Safeway's dried onion soup mix is

g-f - tastes just like Liptons), deviled eggs, nuts, fresh veggies & homemade

ranch dip and a tasty cheese spread with gluten and g-f crackers (separate

dishes of course).

The main course was cooked cut-up chickens from Costco, creamy mashed potatoes,

homemade beans, strawberry/banana jello salad and yummy corn salad.

The dessert tray was " to die for! " Homemade orange walnut biscotti, Fruity

Pebbles marshmallow treats (the colors of Christmas!) and, best of all,

macadamia nut and white chocolate chip cookies! Everyone raved about the

biscotti and macadamia nut cookies and couldn't believe they were g-f!

I really enjoyed making most of the food from scratch. No one noticed that

gluten was even missing. That felt so good!
