Gluten-Free Appetizers
These gluten-free bacon tomato cups are the perfect gluten-free appetizer! I first had the glutinous version many years ago when my sister-in-law brought them to a holiday gathering. When we were diagnosed gluten-intolerant I knew I needed to convert them into the perfect little gluten free finger food.
I truly feel that gluten-free appetizers are just as important as gluten-free dessert. Don’t get me wrong, 60% of the recipes on this site are dessert recipes. That’s because I feel desserts are more challenging to get right than gluten free meals and gluten-free appetizers.
But appetizers don’t always get the attention they deserve – and they should! There are several foodie-occasions year round where appetizers are really the highlight.
Gluten Free Party Food
Gluten Free Party Foods start at New Years Eve, then we have the Superbowl (where all we do is eat appetizers, right?), followed shortly by Easter, Mothers Day, Memorial Day, etc. You get the idea. Gluten-Free appetizers kick off our events and they should. Who wouldn’t want gluten free finger foods to snack on?
