This year we are doing something different. We are taking our gluten-free Easter menu and cooking at our friends home. Sadly, we are still dealing with house issues – ya’ll it’s been over 18 months of dealing with this stuff and we are just now coming to the place of sharing about it here, but more about that later. No matter what is going on, we can still celebrate Jesus and enjoy family and friends. Right?!
We were out and about with a good friend of ours, and asked if we could come over on Sunday after church to join in for a family style lunch. They were all for it, so we asked to include another friend of ours who usually spends holidays with us. Since this family doesn’t cook, it is the perfect time for me to roll up my sleeves for our gluten-free Easter menu and prepare all of our favorites.
Easter gluten-free Menu
What’s on our Easter gluten-free menu? I’m so glad you asked! It’s all of our favs, made gluten free, of course!
Making it gluten-free
Looks like a typical holiday menu, doesn’t it? It is, but I’ve made gluten-free substitutions so everything I make is deliciously gluten-free. For example, I substitute my homemade gluten-free condensed soup for the variety with wheat. I also use gluten-free French fried onions. And I personally add a teaspoon of coconut aminos to make it extra yummy.
If you don’t want to make your own gluten-free soup mix, look for gluten-free options in your grocery stores or online. You’d be surprised at what you can find that’s gluten-free these days. I’m still a made-from-scratch kind of gal, but if you want to streamline the process and make things simple, there are pre-mad options available.
Don’t forget to check to see if you have any local gluten-free bakeries. If so, you can probably pick up a great dessert and rolls. Also, check in the gluten-free aisles, (remember the frozen section, too!), for the ever-expanding options.
A recipe for you
For those of you who like to cook, here’s my recipe for my gluten-free green bean casserole. It’s so yummy!
Until next time, happy cooking, ya’ll! Remember, it’s your occasion. Make it Always Yours! (And gluten-free!)
