Lactose/Gluten Free Holiday Dessert Recipes

Every year, we celebrate Christmas at my moms house with the fam, and there are a few members who never get to partake in any of the delicious desserts because they have food allergies. There's always some form of boxed-cookie or cake that tastes like hampster food and sits like a rock in your stomach. No fun. Fortunately, Deanna Segrave-Daly (registered dietitian) was kind enough to share some tips with me for those with gluten/lactose allergies. And the recipes below use Real Goodness milk, which tastes just like regular milk, but it's lactose-free, so it won't have any negative side effects on your stomach – bring on the Eggnog! 

Deanna's tips:

Gluten-Free: General
rule of thumb: No wheat, barley, rye or oats.

    • Going gluten-free can be tough to follow when it
      comes to traditional holiday desserts such as cookies, cakes and pies.
      Offer up some alternative yet delicious gluten-free options such as the Cinnamon Raisin Rice Pudding (below) or cookies made with
      almond paste.
    • Offer a side dish featuring potatoes, rice or corn
      – all starches/grains that are naturally gluten-free.
    • Serve vegetables and fruits raw or with simple
      ingredients (such as steamed green beans tossed with olive oil, balsamic
      vinegar and sea salt.)

Lactose Intolerant: General
rule of thumb: Lactose based foods (milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream) may
cause unpleasant gastrointestinal symptoms.

                    o   Use Real Goodnessâ„¢ to whip up your
mashed potatoes for a rich and creamy result –
without the lactose.
 
                   o  Eggnog, hot chocolate and flavored steamers can now
be enjoyed by all your guests who 
before had to pass on milk based
drinks. And just in case Santa is lactose intolerant, leave 
out a glass
of Real Goodnessâ„¢ with the cookies!

  10. I was born during the ’80’s have never seen the band play live. My love for the band is something that had formed through listening and singing along to their songs I never get tired of listening to. Tipong, this reunion, this 83008, means so much to me, a fan, because, probably, hopefully, this might be my only chance of seeing the greatest band play songs that define my life.

  23. Here is a comparison of a few brands that you might consider purchasing for your kitchen. This type of a company will also have a detailed ordering
    system. This combination of heating and air circulation ensures ice doesn’t build up on the cooling element.

    If your Sub-Zero fringe or other appliance is faulty, you
    need a specialist in it. Having a freezer when no
    one really uses it is a waste of both money and space.
