The holidays are quickly approaching. To help you through your 1st, 5th, or 20th gluten free Christmas, I’ve compiled a list of 10 Gluten Free Recipes that you need to Make this Holiday Season.
This will be my 12th gluten free Christmas, so I’m somewhat familiar with this already. I remember feeling absolutely lost that first Christmas though. Slowly, but surely, I have been able to re-create gluten free versions of all of my old gluten-filled favorites.
If this is your first gluten free holiday season, don’t fret. You can keep things super simple by sticking to Simple Gluten Free Treats that Anyone Can Make. Naturally gluten free treats can be a life-saver (and a sanity saver) this time of year.
If you are feeling a little more adventurous in the kitchen, and are ready to take back the holidays, these recipes are for you.

Because it was so hard to pick only 10 gluten free recipes that you need to make this holiday season, I decided to add one bonus recipe. I know many of you have Christmas traditions that are not complete without perogies (pierogi).

My Grandma made the best potato, onion and cheese perogies. I am so glad that I’m able to continue that tradition with my kids thanks to these gluten free Perogies. They taste just as good as Grandma’s did.
