The holidays are quickly approaching.
Many of us will soon gather around the table with family and friends,
sharing traditional dishes that have become a staple of these holiday
meals. I’m talking of course about turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes
and gravy, macaroni and cheese, all kinds of casseroles, and of course
many kinds of breads, pies, cakes and pastries. For many, these upcoming
holidays are looked forward to with great anticipation; we look forward
to the smells that waft thru the house, the taste of those traditional
dishes, and the joy of being with family and friends. However, for many
like myself, those traditional holiday dishes are like walking through a
minefield of explosives, and one wrong move (or one wrong spoonful)
could send us to spend the day in the emergency room or the bathroom. We
become excessively bloated and not from just being full, our bowels
begin to cramp for days of diarrhea, or constipation, our joints hurt to
the point that they don’t even feel like our own, and we can’t forget
about the brain fog and/or the migraine headache that could last for
days on end!
When I was first diagnosed, I thought
that I would never again enjoy those traditional dishes that I had grown
up loving, but then something kicked in: determination! Determination
not to miss out. I can honestly say, I have not found a dish that I have
not been able to recreate as a gluten free version.
Yes, you too can have rolls, the dressing, the gravy, the mac &
cheese, the many casseroles and the pies and cakes. Over the next few
days, and to help you with your holiday meals, I am going to share with
you some of my favorite gluten free versions of my favorite traditional holiday dishes. Today, I am going to share two with you - Gluten Free White Bread and Gluten Free Cornbread.
I am beginning with these two recipes because they are great by
themselves, and they are also the foundation of another favorite, Gluten Free Sausage Cornbread Dressing (which will be coming in the next few days.)
These recipes and many more are all part of my gluten free cookbook, “Vedam’s Gluten Free & Fabulous! Recipes From A Southern Gay Househusband.” Have
you considered getting your own copy, or giving this as a holiday gift?
This is a gift that will keep on giving. You can order a copy here for
yourself or a friend. I will be happy to ship it to you, or I can send
it directly to the recipient, with a note directly from you. As you
order, you will see a place to write your own message that I will
include with the cookbook.
I hope you enjoy these two recipes and
the recipes to come. As you prepare these recipes for your holiday
meals, I would love for you to take some pictures and share them with me
and others on your social media sites (and don’t forget to tag me on
them), and HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOURS!
