    Gluten Free Mushroom Cheddar Pizza & Gluten Free Entertaining

    I'll admit that I don't think about gluten free cooking very often. No one in my immediate family has any allergies so I am lucky in that sense. But with the holidays fast approaching, I will be entertaining.  I always like to have options for my guests with dietary restrictions  or food preferences.  If I am serving dinner to a crowd, I try to make sure I have a vegetarian option, a nut free option and a gluten free option.  This mushroom cheddar pizza handles all of the above.

    I will admit I was a bit of a skeptic when Udi's asked if I would like to try some of their gluten free bread products.  I made sure  to have an open mind and tried their raisin bread, bagels and pizza crust.  I love to have people over for brunch and these products make a gluten free menu very manageable.

    I can usually find gluten free items for a dinner menu but  breakfast and lunch are much more more difficult. Having these products in my freezer will make things much easier. While the pizza makes a nice lunch or dinner, here are some ideas for gluten free breakfasts or brunch:

    • breakfast pizzas (eggs, bacon and cheese on Udi's gluten free crusts)
    • ham, egg and cheese bagels using Udi's gluten free bagels
    • stuffed french toast using Udi's cinnamon raisin bread
    • a fruit smoothie
    • breakfast casserole using Udi's white bread
    • yogurt parfaits with fruit and gluten free granola

    Since I found both the bagels and bread in the freezer section, I preferred both items toasted.  To me , gluten free products have a different texture than the bread I'm used to. But once I toasted it, it tasted just like my regular bread products.  I made my kids cinnamon raisin toast and they didn't know the difference. Actually, they loved it!

    What options do you have on your holiday entertaining menus for guest with allergies?

      I'm lucky that I don't have allergies to gluten, too. It's nice to know this delicious option is out there, though. I've see Udi's brand in the store--it really does look appetizing. 🙂

      wow that looks really good!
      I'm shocked at how many gluten free products there are.
      I haven't tried any of them, but am now curious with this nice pizza crust

      I've been trying to go corn and gluten free. Really hard to do. I'll look for these products.
