Here we go with another Blogmas post…..favourite Christmas foods
It’s going to be a bit different in my household this year as my son and I have both been diagnosed with celiac disease so anything with wheat, barley or rye is out! But luckily there does seem to be gluten free versions of most things (at double the price!)
Here is our list:
- A tub of chocolates, Heroes for us this year (the Dinky Deckers are going in the bin!) 🍫
- Cheese. In bucket loads. We love the cheese! We are getting cheddar, brie, stilton, applewood and I’m also partial to a bit of marmite cheddar! 🧀
- I’ve ordered these pine cones for a chocolatey dessert…..
- And veg. Omg loads and loads of veg. I’m a definite veg fan but at Christmas I go overboard! Swede, carrots, parsnips, dried peas, cauliflower cheese, red cabbage and loads of lovely brussel sprouts! 🥕🥒🍠
What foods do you get in for the Christmas period?
CJRTB Books 
I also have Celiacs. Over the years, I’ve learned how to make all my favorite christmas treats gluten-free – like Pecan Tassies (which are miniature pecan pie-like cookies) and Chocolate Chip Cookies 😋. Those pine cones on you list look amazing!

I had never heard of it before I was diagnosed in March, it was certainly a small life changer! Even though I wish my son (10) didnt have it, it does make cooking simpler!

It gets easier after a while. I spent the first two years lamenting over what everyone else was eating that I couldn’t have. There were many tears shed. But now, it just is what it is and I have a long list of gluten free foods and treats that make me happy 🙂

Thats what I say to my son (he was only diagnosed in September), it is what it is and we have to get on with it! I really missed KFC but found a recipe by Pinch of Nom and adjusted it, it’s so good!
