Gluten Free
You NEED this holiday gluten free meal plan! NEW for 2020, with recipes for every part of the dinner, PLUS printable grocery shopping list!
I published our very first gluten free dairy free holiday meal plan back in 2017, and that post that was very popular.
When 2019 rolled around, I received requests for another holiday meal plan. So, another was created, complete with a grocery shopping list and printable recipe ebook.
Call me kind-hearted (really, I don’t mind!) but as much work as it takes to put these together, I’m doing it for you again. Y’all, it took a village to put this year’s meal plan together (an entire team of 4 amazing women!).
SO, I hope you will find it useful and make some of these recipes!
HOW IT WORKS
Scroll down and you’ll see a link to each recipe, along with a little bit about it. Then, at the bottom of the post, you can print out the grocery list.

Hi Lindsay, do you have a recipe for delicious gluten free butter tarts?
Like a bread pudding? Or coffee cake sort of dish? Butter tart is Canadian eh? 😉
Hi Lindsay,
Thanks for the reply and the smile.
It’s a pastry. Similar to a pecan pie but a miniature version. It’s a holiday treat usually served at Christmas but hard to find in a gluten free option where I live. If you ever get around to testing this out I’d very much appreciate a shout out 🙂 Can I provide anything further to entice you to try creating this tasty treat?
ahh almost like a minced pie! I see. Well, I do have a mini pecan pie version here. 😉 https://www.cottercrunch.com/coffee-pecan-pie-bars-easy-paleo-recipe/
thank you, another great resource, holidays or really any time, starting with the rum balls!
You’re welcome, Sabrina! Nice!!! The rum balls are the perfect place to start lol!!
