The Christmas season is a popular time to entertain. Food is often a focal point of holiday season entertainment.
People who experience food allergies or intolerances may shy away from certain celebrations for fear that a bite or bite could trigger an allergic response. In such cases, concern over ingredients can cloud the normally festive occasions.
People with celiac disease or gluten intolerance should be mindful of the foods they eat. Meals or desserts that contain gluten, a protein found in grains like wheat, grits, rye, barley, graham, spelt, farina, and more, can trigger intestinal discomfort and other symptoms. With delicious cakes, pastries and cookies on the holiday serving table, gluten is likely to make an appearance. However, with careful planning, people who can’t digest gluten-containing foods can still enjoy their favorite holiday flavors.
Libby’s Famous Crustless Pumpkin Pie is a variation on the traditional pumpkin pie served at Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Without the crust, gluten-avoiding folks can still dip into that pumpkin-spice combo that’s so popular during the holiday season. Enjoy this recipe, courtesy of Libby’s Pumpkin.
