Your Gluten-Free Game Day Spread Starts Here


Hi Reader!

If you're anything like me, tomorrow is going to involve a lot of time on the couch, and I'm not mad about it. The winter games just kicked off in Italy (that opening ceremony!), the big game is tomorrow, and honestly, that's a perfectly good excuse to spend the whole day snacking.

Whether you're watching figure skating, football, or flipping back and forth between both, here are six gluten-free recipes to keep your spread stocked all day long. They're easy to pull together, some are even make-ahead friendly, and the kind of food that everyone at the table can enjoy. No one will even know it's gluten-free.

Gluten-Free Buffalo Chicken Dip

Bubbly, cheesy, and loaded with buffalo flavor, this is the dip that disappears first at every party. Grab some GF tortilla chips or celery sticks and let it do its thing.

Cream Cheese Stuffed Mini Peppers

Cheddar, bacon, and cream cheese packed into sweet mini peppers. These come together in under 30 minutes and pair well with literally everything.

Green Onion Dip

Sometimes you just need a really good chip dip. Grab a bag of Ruffles and you're set.

Gluten-Free Chicken Wings

Is it even game day without wings? These come out perfectly crispy and you can toss them in whatever sauce you want... BBQ, buffalo, you name it.

Gluten-Free Onion Rings

Crispy, golden, and so good with BBQ sauce or ranch (sorry I hate ketchup, but go for it). Pro tip: this batter also works beautifully for my gluten-free cheese curds if you want to take things up a notch.

Walking Taco Casserole

When you need something more substantial to get everyone through the second half, this Frito-topped taco casserole is it. All the fixings, one skillet, feeds a crowd.

You can find even more game day ideas in my gluten-free Game Day recipe collection. There's something for every kind of spread.

Happy game day!

Hi Reader! I'm going to be honest with you. My brain is absolute mush right now. February has that effect. The holidays are a distant memory, spring feels far away, and every night around 5pm I stare into the fridge like it owes me an explanation. If you're in the same late-winter fog, I've got you. Here are five of my easiest, most comforting gluten-free dinners. These are the ones I reach for when I have zero brainpower left but still want to eat well without thinking too hard. Bacon...

Hi Reader! Remember my enriched yeast dough I used in my gluten-free dinner rolls? Well, I fried it. These gluten-free fried donuts are light, pillowy, and taste like real yeasted donuts. Not baked cake donuts in a pan. Actual fried donuts like you'd get at Dunkin, but better. This is the same base as my cinnamon rolls, crescent rolls and dinner rolls, so if you loved those, you're going to love these too. Finish with thick vanilla glaze and sprinkles, or keep it simple and toss in sugar...
