Christmas

Christmas is the meal I plan first and think about longest, and cooking gluten free just means I make the whole table safe instead of setting one dish aside. These gluten free Christmas recipes cover the glazed ham and roast chicken, the mashed potatoes and green beans and stuffing, easy appetizers and dips for company, and the cookies and candies that go on the dessert tray.

I’ve tested every recipe here, so the timings hold up when you’re running three dishes at once. A lot of them can be made ahead or moved to the slow cooker, which is how you get the oven back for the main event.

Be sure to check out my Slow Cooker Spiral Ham for the centerpiece, and my Slow Cooker Peanut Clusters for the cookie tray!
