Christmas Dinner

Merry Christmas everyone!  Our family seems to think we don't eat anything at all, so I thought I'd post the Christmas meal I plan on sharing with my husband and our cousins (who are also vegetarians) tomorrow.

Appetizers:

*Caprese Salad (Mozzarella, Tomatoes, Basil, Balsamic Vinegar)
*Chex Mix (With Rice Chex, Corn Chex, and Gluten Free Bagel Chips...yum!)
*Nuts
*Stuffed Mushrooms

Main Course:

*Homemade Gluten Free Pizza with a Cauliflower Crust (This is AMAZING, and I will be    
  posting the recipe soon!)
*Spinach Lasagne with Gluten Free Lasagna Noodles
*Olive Garden Salad
*Gluten Free Bread (bought at a local gluten-free bakery) with Garlic 

Dessert:

*Pumpkin Pie with Gluten Free Crust (Crust purchased from our gluten free bakery)
*Black Tea Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream Frosting (I'm trying this out with rice flour, 
  I'll let you know how it turns out!)
*Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies (made from a Betty Crocker prepackaged Gluten Free mix)

Also, we will also be drinking Bard's Gluten Free Beer (highly recommended!) and a bottle of organic Malbec (my favorite!) red wine that I picked up.


Sounds delicious, right?  I'm pretty stoked.  I think it's going to be a great Christmas!

I'm still working on learning more recipes to make things from scratch (like the pie crust, or the cookies).  But I can say I'm fortunate to have a gluten free bakery within a 15 minute drive.  It is a little pricier, but the price of not being sick for days is more than worth it!  What are you having for Christmas?
