Does anyone have any good appetizer receipes that are of course gluten-free? Looking for some fairly easy receipes. Open to any suggestions.

Thanks!

I'm not sure how fancy you are looking for. I personally don't have the need for anything too fancy so here is what I sometimes serve for appetizers/ finger foods.

Rotel cheese dip and mission corn chips

Hot Artichoke Dip with veggies and tortilla strips

Hillshire farm little smokies in bbq sauce

appetizer meatballs

fiesta taco dip (layer dip)

Salsa and tortilla chips

Those are some off the top of my head.

I always post this as an appetizer :ph34r: But I do love it and this is the season for it. I love cantelope wrapped in prosciutto (sp). Nice combination of saltiness and sweetness.

What type of party are you doing? Family party? Dinner party? Cocktail party? Casual or fancy?

I was just wondering if prosciuto (sp?) is gluten-free.... Because the first thing I thought of is prosciuto wrapped asparagus. You could do a platter of asparagus, melon and prosciuto.

Veggie platter.

I also used to know someone who would roll cream cheese in ham (is ham gluten-free?) and hold it together with a toothpick. Yummy! And very pretty if you take the time to make it all spirally.

Delimex frozen taquitos (as long as you make sure and get the ones made with corn tortillas) are gluten-free. That's one thing that you wouldn't have to worry about "making".

Nuts, as long as no one is tree nut or peanut allergic.

Deviled Eggs. (make sure all your ingredients for making them are gluten-free)

Fruit and or cheese in slices or chunked/cubed on toothpicks.

Cool Ranch Doritos are gluten-free. So are most potato chips. Those are always a hit, and easy.

Guacamole!

Olives, pickles (are they gluten-free?)

Celery filled with peanut butter, cream cheese or even Easy Cheese (the spray cheese in the aerosol can). The Sharp Cheddar and American flavors are gluten-free, but NOT the one with bacon in it. I'm a big fan of Easy Cheese in celery at a party. I've found that most people, even if they're too embarassed to buy it themselves, will SCARF it down at a party. It's one of those nostalgia foods that brings us all back to childhood.

I'm hosting Christmas Eve this year, and I'm doing a gluten-free version of how I grew up; buffet/appetizers. So this has gotten my ideas going...

I am having a Birthday party - pretty casual. The tequitos are a very good idea. So the Delimex are gluten free??? I know I used to buy tequitos, but assumed they had gluten and never looked again. Can't say I remember the brand I used to purchase.

Thanks for the info.

It needs to be the Delimex Shredded Chicken In Corn Tortillas (the beef has wheat added to it)

I thought the beef in corn tortilla ones were gluten-free too. I mostly give them to my kids, so I don't remember if I've tried them since going gluten-free.

Thanks for the heads up. This is a good reminder for all of us to read those labels even if you've been buying something forever.

Beef in the corn is fine......beef in the flour tortilla is not. At least last time I checked/bought delimex.

I've used this recipe for spinach dip. I just substitute the flour for some corn starch. It's not a quick thing to make but it's incredible.

I have a group of people coming on Friday for dinner. I have the dessert menu (the most important part of the meal) set and pretty set on a chicken w/white sauce lasagna for dinner but I'm coming up empty on appetizers. Since we will be standing around talking for awhile before dinner, I would really like to have something either room temp or chilled-but I'm tired of my stand-bys of veggies/dip, queso, salsa, etc. Anyone have ideas they want to share? Asparagus is on sale this week and my family loves it so anything with that would be great!

Thanks,

-Cathy :D

Oh I forgot-I do know how to spell hors d'oeuvre! :lol: Horse Dovers is how my oldest, now 16 pronounced it when she was little and it stuck in our family!

Cheese and Kabana ( I don't know if you can gluten-free in the Us) with rice crackers always go down well, You could also put cheese Kabana and those little onions on toothpicks.

I have also books that have biscuits with dips or little bits of food on them, you may be able to find a recipe and trade the biscuits for rice crackers.

:( I wish I had my gluten-free cookbook with me, it has a whole section on party food (silly me forgot it when I moved)

I have a recipe for the best dip EVER... sounds too easy to be true, and it is! It's an artichoke/spinach dip that is always a huge hit... I usually wing this and have never written it down, but you'll get the idea...

1 can (drained) artichoke hearts

1 package frozen spinach - fresh is better if still available, or no spinach at all is good too!

1 cup sour cream

1 cup mayo

1 cup parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to about 375. Chop up artichokes after draining (use more that one can if not using spinach), chop however chunky you want, chop up spinach or add thawed... Then mix in all three cups of sour cream, mayo & parmesan, mix together and put in the oven with tin foil over the top. Bake that for about 20-30 minutes, check on it -- then remove foil and bake another 10-15 minutes till top browns a bit.

YUM -- serve with veggies, gluten-free corn chips, gluten free crackers, gluten free rolls broken up (chebe) or whatever else you want to dip!!

Let me know if you have any questions...

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By KRipple · Posted

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
