On Sunday we celebrated Easter at my in laws and it was pretty fantastic. My mom in law, Ann, is an amazing baker and creator of many delicious dishes. Each holiday we celebrate together there is a new sans gluten dish she creates for me based on her original masterpiece that contains gluten. Two of the best so far have been sans gluten lasagna and chocolate cream pie. The chocolate cream pie was low in added sugar so it was very easy to count the carbs and dose my insulin appropriately (for those of you carb counting you know how hard that is without a nutrition label). The rest of the menu was as follows (notice all the naturally sans gluten foods-excellent host/hostess gifts when attending soirees;)
Appetizers:
Shrimp cocktail
Sliced pears
Cashews
Fresh mozzarella topped with prosciutto
Brie cheese
Main entree:
Honey glazed ham
Green beans with almonds
Mashed yams (could have eaten the whole dish!)
Lasagna (avec and sans gluten)
Sans gluten ciabatta rolls
Dessert:
Chocolate cream pie with corn flake crust.
Homemade whip cream (made seconds before hitting the table!)
Writing about this meal is making me very hungry all over again. The best part about it was of course how delicious it was, but also the thoughtfulness of making sans gluten dishes-I know it's a lot of work making two versions of one recipe. The leftovers aren't too bad either;)
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and Passover this year......
Thank you Ann!
xoxo, your best daughter in law;)
