Last year in November and December, I sat back and enjoyed every week of A Gluten-Free Holiday hosted by Amy at Simply Sugar & Gluten-Free along with many other great allergen-friendly blogs. But this year, I’m so thrilled to be a host myself!

It’s the second year of celebrating the holiday season totally gluten-free.

–

How?

With a weekly themed link-up event and fabulous cookbook give-aways!

–

Why? 

The holidays are stressful enough without worrying whether your gluten-free pie crust or your Apple Spice Cake will turn out. We want to make this season as easy as possible by sharing our favorite kitchen tested gluten-free recipes.

–

We?  

Yes, we. Me and 5 other fantastic gluten-free bloggers.

And of course, you!  If you weren’t there it just wouldn’t be a holiday celebration.

–

Here’s the scoop….

On Thursdays in November and December, a different gluten-free blogger will host a link-up event where you can share your best gluten-free holiday dishes and browse for recipes to add to your menu. 

Every week we’ll have a give-away, too. You can link up or leave a comment to enter.
