Holiday Cooking

I just completed my first wheat-free holiday menu.  Everyone seemed quite pleased with the food.  There was quite a bit of it and a great variety.  Most everything was also low-carb.  I wanted to be able to eat what I was making.  So with the exception of the baked potatoes, I was able to enjoy everything in small amounts.

Here's what I made:

Appetizers:
  
Cucumbers, carrots, celery sticks
Simply Kraft onion dip (the only one I could find without added wheat) 
Rolled prosciutto and mozzarella slices 
Corn tortilla chips for dipping 
Salsa 
Bubbling hot buffalo chicken dip



Dinner:


Ham
Turkey breast
Mashed cauliflower
Leaf lettuce, spinach, and cherry tomato salad
Pineapple
Baked potatoes (with toppings to choose - butter, sour cream, chives, scallions, bleu cheese crumbles, cheddar, bacon)


Dessert:


Mini sugar-free cheesecakes with almond crust


So I'm happy to report that no one starved.  Happy Easter and Passover to you!
