Gingerbread and My Holiday Wishes for You

Sweet and spicy, tender and springy gingerbread …it’s a traditional recipe for any time of the year.  But, if you dress it up a little with some decorator’s red sugar, it takes on a more festive air.  This gluten-free recipe is easy to make and frugal, too, but it also is wonderful for serving your family and your guests.

I hope you have a blessed holiday season and a very Merry Christmas!

Gluten-Free Gingerbread Decorated with Red Sugar Crystals for the Holidays

Warm Gluten-Free Gingerbread Decorated with Red Sugar Crystals

 

This is one of my gluten-free recipes designed for those with gluten intolerance, gluten sensitivity, or celiac disease, but I’ve found that people who have no food allergies like it, too.   It is wheat-free, barley-free and rye-free, as well as dairy-free and nut-free.

Remember, be sure you check all your ingredients each time you buy them to make sure that nothing contains any gluten.  If the label doesn’t show clearly that something is gluten-free, check with the manufacturer.  That may seem rather obvious, but it’s easy to overlook.  The manufacturer doesn’t actually have to state that gluten is in the ingredients.  They only need to state if there is wheat or any of the other seven common allergens. (I discuss this in more detail in my ebook, Eating and Living a Gluten-Free Diet…The Official Guide.) That means that barley, rye and some other less common gluten-y grains can actually be in the ingredients in amounts too small to require being listed by name.  For example, the all-inclusive, commonly seen “flavorings” covers a lot of ingredients, some of them gluten-y.
