Celebrating the

Holidays

The holidays are a time for family and friends to make memories and create

special traditions. I’ve taken some quintessential holiday dishes and put a special

twist on them. Not only are they gluten-free, but they are also better than ever!

Be sure to refer to the timelines at the beginning of each menu to assist you in

making the holidays stress-free and enjoyable with more of what

matters—time with your loved ones!

New Year’s Eve is one of my favorite fêtes. It’s the time to reflect on the past year,

and set goals for the new. Mostly it’s a chance to celebrate hope and possibility for

what’s to come. I’ve selected some delicious appetizers and hors d’oeuvres for

a cocktail-style party perfect for mingling guests, along with some

festive cocktails to toast in the New Year right!
