I’m still learning and always adding to my list of recipes, but today I am sharing all of the must haves (at least for me) for a holiday meal.
Below are most of the recipes I make during the Holidays.

Foods that do not include gluten and dairy include chicken, fish, legumes, meat, fruits, vegetables, potatoes, rice, corn, and products specifically labels "gluten and dairy-free." Remove all gluten and dairy products from your home and shop for alternatives.
The common reasons are better digestion and faster weight loss. It may also lead to a significant improvement in their energy and mood. You need to be careful about the hidden dairy and gluten content in various products that you may consume on a daily basis. Keep reading to know how to go dairy and gluten free.
The best way to ensure that your diet is gluten and dairy-free is to eat whole foods. Fruits, vegetables, meats, and grains like quinoa, rice, and buckwheat are all naturally gluten and dairy-free. Planning your meals in advance can help you avoid the temptation to eat foods that contain gluten and dairy.
It has become known as the “anti-inflammatory diet” in some circles because a common cause for going both gluten and dairy free is digestive inflammation or discomfort. This can seem like the ultimate double-whammy of diet plans, but never fear!
Others are lactose intolerant, which results from an enzyme deficiency that makes it impossible to break down the lactose (a sugar found in dairy) in one's system. People with one or both of these conditions don't necessarily need to avoid eggs as they are devoid of milk proteins and lactose. Eggs are also gluten free.
These whole foods are naturally free of gluten and dairy and provide a range of nutrients to help keep you feeling satisfied and energized on the go. Fruits like apples, bananas, and oranges are easy to pack and can provide a quick burst of natural sugar for a tasty pick-me-up.
So, how long does gluten stay in your system? Individuals without a gluten intolerance, wheat allergy, or celiac disease have a gluten transit time of up to 4 hours in the stomach, 6 hours in the small intestine, and 59 hours in the colon. Therefore, it takes 2-3 days for your system to eliminate gluten entirely.
The assumption of gluten activates a T-cell mediated immune response against tissue transglutaminase, which leads to an inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, resulting in small intestine villous atrophy, increased intestinal permeability, and consequent malabsorption of micro and macronutrients [3,4,6,8,17].
Some people believe that eating gluten can inflame the skin and, therefore, cutting it out will help relieve red, inflamed skin or other skin conditions, such as psoriasis or eczema. But in reality, cutting gluten from your diet will only help if you actually have celiac disease or a hypersensitivity to gluten.
Living gluten-free can be a challenge. It's important to know that peanuts, peanut butter, peanut flour and peanut oil are considered naturally gluten-free foods. Gluten is a form of protein found in wheat, barley and rye (2).
So you can see that in reality, eggs are not considered dairy products. They are classified as poultry products and are a separate food group from dairy. We do keep them together and often even mix them together when we eat – think of milk and scrambled eggs, cake with butter and milk, or even cheesy eggs.
Plain coffee from freshly roasted beans is 100% gluten-free. In many cases, store-bought coffee grounds are as well, though there's always some potential for cross-contamination. What you really need to keep an eye on are coffee additives and flavored coffees. Powdered coffee creamer, for example, may contain gluten.
If you're vegan or have a dairy intolerance, we have good news: peanut butter is both dairy-free and gluten-free! Most peanut butter is made from peanuts, salt, palm oil, or hydrogenated vegetable oil (Processed peanut butter may contain some added sugars, too).
Yes, people with celiac disease frequently have lactose intolerance, especially upon diagnosis. Once a gluten-free diet is followed and the intestine heals properly, some people are able to produce the lactase enzyme that breaks down lactose, and tolerate dairy foods again.
