So it's December 1st, 2013. I thought this was a good time to write about some of the gluten free holiday goodies you can get around town this year.
Our family just started celebrating Chanukah. It is a tradition to eat a jelly donut called Sufganiyah. Last year was the first time we found someone that was able to make us a gluten free jelly donut. We have Najah from RioVida to thank for that. I was just able to sneak in an order just in time because Chanukah crept up on me this year and came early.
Not only is Chanukah on it's way by the Christmas Holiday season has probably hit full gear for many families already. West Edmonton Mall is already a mess with everyone tracking down the perfect holiday gift and planning out the perfect Christmas meal. With that being said, we can't talk food without talking gluten free. So what type of gluten free goodies you pick up around town?
Here are a few things happening:
La Oliva Gluten Free Kitchen
Alisha from La Oliva Gluten Free Kitchen is sure to be busy with their assorted gluten free dessert trays and gluten free buffet menu.
