Celebrations are a part of life. Holidays, birthdays, or a new baby are meaningful moments we rejoice in. And when there is a celebration, there is often feasting involved. Or – if not an outright feast, some special food to enjoy. 🙂
Whether it’s a graduation, career celebration or party, wedding, a gathering with food adds to the festivity and sense of connectedness. Many conversations happen over a plate of food or something to drink.
But what about those who need a specific diet? It’s not an easy thing to come to a party anticipating there’s nothing you can eat. This is so even when someone knows it’s best for their health.
Although people with food allergies may try to be low-key about it in order to keep the focus on the celebration, there can still be challenging conversations that ensue because people don’t understand. What’s worse, some people think legitimate dietary needs are completely made up and can behave in a way that is very hurtful on top of an already complicated situation.
Friends and family who understand the need to be gluten free, dairy free, sugar free or whatever the case may be are balm in situations like these. And when those friends and family have educated themselves on how to serve food that is safe and healthy, it really is a hug for the heart.
This is a big reason why we incorporate gluten free hosting into our events. Since Cheryl has eaten gluten free for more than 20 years, we know the difference it makes to have food she can eat at a gathering.
That’s why we’re excited to let you know of some things to make your life easier, especially in the kitchen.
Behind the scenes we’ve been working on resources to make cooking and baking gluten free easier and to take the mental load off. Our goal is to provide you with step-by-step processes for all the recipes you need to feel confident serving harmonious gluten free menus.
Imagine not having to come up with a gluten free menu on your own. Even better, having recipes ready for you to follow that allow you to pick and choose from a complete meal plus dessert or to fix a side dish or two.
We are excited to roll out new comprehensive recipe guides that walk you through preparing sets of related gluten free dishes!
Oh yeah! Easy to follow gluten free menu plans with recipes to take the guesswork out of what to fix? Already done.
