30 New Year’s Eve Gluten Free Favorite Foods

New Year’s Eve Gluten Free Favorite Foods

New Year’s Eve is a time for celebration, which means good food! If you or someone you know is celiac or gluten intolerant, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy delicious dishes to bring in the New Year.

How to avoid getting glutened at a party?

If you’re gluten-free, it can also be a time of anxiety about accidental exposure to gluten. So whether you’re at a friend’s house for dinner or a party, here are some tips to avoid gluten.

Talk to your host in advance about your dietary needs.

This will help them plan and make sure there are plenty of safe options for you to eat. If possible, offer to bring a gluten free dish or two that you know everyone will enjoy.

Inspect the buffet before filling your plate.

Scan the offerings and avoid anything that looks like it might contain gluten. When in doubt, ask the host or server what’s in each dish.

Stick to safe drinks.

Many alcoholic beverages are safe for people with celiac disease, but be cautious with beer, which often contains gluten (even some “gluten-free” beers), and flavored liqueurs, which often contain gluten. So if you’re unsure about the drink, stick to something you know is gluten free.

Avoid cross-contamination.

Use separate serving utensils for each dish, and don’t put anything on your plate that has been in contact with gluten-containing foods (e.g., crumbs from breaded meat, pasta dishes, bread and casseroles).

Should you serve only gluten free food at a party if some guests are gluten intolerant?

If you are hosting a New Year’s Eve party, you may wonder if you should only serve gluten free dishes. After all, you don’t want to make your guests sick!

It is not necessary to serve only gluten free food. You can offer a variety of foods to your guests. However, it is best to offer gluten free options at a separate table to avoid cross-contamination.

Make ahead dishes for New Year’s Eve

If you’re hosting a party, you’ll want to have a few make-ahead dishes on hand so you can enjoy the festivities without spending all night in the kitchen.

Why is finger food most popular at New Year’s Eve Parties?

It can be easily shared, there is no need for utensils, and it makes for easy cleanup.

Finger food is also generally healthier than other types of party food since it is not deep fried or covered in heavy sauces. This means that people can feel good about eating finger foods even when watching their weight.

Finally, finger foods look more fun than other types of party food! They are colorful and festive, making it easy to create a beautiful display on your table.
