I was invited to a holiday party and in the footnote it said, "Some gluten free items would be greatly appreciated." I want to be a good guest -- and of course the first thing I thought of was Sake!! Woo hoo!
But I don't eat gluten-free and I'm stumped. Any help out there in Foodie Land?
Thanks so much!
PS - I'm allergic to cheese... so that won't be an option.
Thanks!

Reason: addition
Being gluten free is really not that hard. I've had to do it for my husband for 6 years now.
Veggies and dip. Chips and salsa. Crock pot Meatballs (use Corn Chex instead of Corn flakes) in chili sauce/cranberry sauce.
Is it appetizers or full meal? I would be able to give you more suggestions if you let me know that part.
We have a certain couple over for dinner often and they are gluten free. Some things we make are a grape jelly/teriyaki glazed salmon with roasted cauliflower and broccoli and I make a side of basmati rice (contains no wheat). Appetizers are usually something like crudites with a dipping sauce, shrimp cocktail, sausage or crab stuffed mushrooms, Hummus and gluten free crackers (I pick them up at Trader Joe's). For dessert, I serve chocolates such as truffles, or chocolate covered strawberries/bananas, or something like creme brulee.
I agree with Mrs. Cool, it's not to tough once you understand the parameters.

Great suggestions. Meatballs are great, I've made them also with gluten-free bread that I made breadcrumbs out of.
Chicken, steak, veggies, all are good. Just stay away from pastas, pastries, things like that.
Salad with quinoa added, so yummy. I just had a big salad with feta cheese, kalamata olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, quinoa, Greek salad dressing, peppercinis.

Meatballs - That I can make! And I can start it in a crockpot the night before so I don't have to pay attention to it... thanks!!

Just bought my daughter the "Gluten Free" bible at the Barnes & Noble bargain books section.
Looks like it has some great recipes and the price was very reasonable.
Chilli, Panna Cotta dessert with strawberry topping.
