Gluten Free Christmas Day Menu

I have finally sat down and figured out what we are having on our Christmas Day menu. We have a large family combined so it will be a busy day and instead of cooking different things for lunch and dinner, we cook it all for lunch and then have leftovers at dinner time. And because Christmas is at my house, I make the rules and my rule is that all food is to be gluten free so I can eat anything and everything. I want to actually groan that I have eaten too much food on Christmas Day, that never happens to me usually!

So all the food and dishes I mention below are gluten free, I shall link where I can.

Nibbles

I always have nibbles on the table. Our family has a very large appetite so I need food like this to fill them up. Plus there are several teenage nephews so they are never empty it seems.

Smith’s Chips -in Australia they are the plain blue packets
Lollies – the Coles and Woolworth ones I mention here
Plain Dorito’s – the green packet
Range of dips – the Yumi and Black Swan dips are usually gluten free – double check the ingredients
Range of cheeses
Platter of cut up vegies
Rice crackers

Main Dishes

As I mentioned before, we just put it all out for lunch and then again for dinner

Corned beef done in slow cooker
Roast chicken
Ham
Baked potatoes – I also do these in slow cooker, wrap in foil and put on low for about 4 hours – serve with butter, corn, sour cream and grated cheese
roasted pumpkin salad
Risotto cakes – from Melindas, made these recently and they are soooo yummy
Roasted vegetable and goats cheese terrine – from AWW Christmas Cooking book
Spicy Potato and Chickpea Salad
Green beans
green salad

Desserts

Plum Pudding – yes it is gluten free! And it is so yummy.
Baked Cheesecake
Fresh Fruit Platter
Pavlova – I buy the shell of this and top with cream and strawberries and grated chocolate. I buy it as its a time saver and frees the oven. You can put any fruit on top.

Afters, with coffee

Christmas Cake – again its gluten free and I make it and will share recipe next week
Chocolate Fudge
Chocolate Christmas Tree – I will use gluten free rice bubbles
White Christmas – just use gluten free rice bubbles and icing sugar
Chocolate Balls

Should be enough I think. I hope so!
