Happy Holidays!!
Remember the old adage that it’s better to give than to receive? In these days of hard times and a harsh economy, the holiday season can seem more like Grinchmas than Christmas. Budgets get tighter and stress levels rise. Sometimes it’s just easier to say ‘Bah Humbug!’ than to greet someone with ‘Merry Christmas’ or ‘Happy Holidays.’ Some people judge how much you love them by how much you spend on them. And some people can’t afford to put gifts under the tree even for their little ones.
The holidays bring out the best and (unfortunately) the worst in people.
But the holidays also symbolize my favorite time of year to break out the baking pans and buy up fresh ingredients and dole out a little holiday cheer to the people I care about. I love to show up at my local bank with a tin full of cookies for them to share. I love handing a plate of goodies over to the hard-working employees at the local gas station. I love bringing a little smile to the faces of the people I care about. I love to cook up dinners for friends and invite them over to share the holiday with me.
The spirit of giving is really what matters.
My friends at Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bakery are definitely in the holiday spirit. They have provided a fantastic Rudi’s Swag Bag to give away to one lucky blog reader! How exciting is that? The swag bag is pictured here:

I’m no gluten-free person, but I do however love making the scones you post! Especially the Gluten Free Cinnamon Apple Scones
sugar cookies actually! yummy!
Pancakes!
Before I was diagnosed, my husband and I had a Saturday morning waffle tradition. My most successful recipe is gluten-free waffles (he likes them with crumbled bacon baked in) that he says are even better than the old “traditional” recipe!
Gluten Free fried rice using San-J soy sauce
gluten free chocolate cake with carmel topping.
I have had a few successful recipes. My husband’s favorite is one I was making before being GF and that is my Peanut Butter Cookies. It does not use flour or dairy products (just peanut butter, sugar, egg and vanilla). It is really simple to make and taste delicious.
love your products!!!!!
Lemon bars! They are such a hit that my mom won’t even make the gluten-filled ones anymore!
4 ingredient PB cookies. EVERYone who tries them LOVES them. Those and my Chocolate covered GF oreo’s. No one would know they are GF. Love Rudi’s Raisin bread. It rocks!!
My most successful are desserts! When my hubby was diagnosed, I started learning how to cook gluten free, now I have branched out, and most desserts, you can’t tell the difference!
gf stuffed french toast
Gluten free corn bread….also made a choc-chip ice cream cake for my daughters birthday & she is not gluten free (it was a hit by all!)
Gluten Free Turkey Stuffing…… Just thinking about it makes me hungry!!!
We just started a GF lifestyle because of recent diagnosis of celiac with my son and me. I have successfully made GF Peanut butter cookies and GF pumpkin swirl cheesecake. would love to have the opportunity to try Rudi’s! Thanks!
french toast gluten free of course and my is also soy and dairy free too
I made gluten-free stuffing this year with Rudi’s bread, and it turned out great!
GF Brownies!!
gluten free peanut butter cookies, using Heidi Swanson’s recipe from 101cookbooks.com!
My most successful recipe would have to be my pumpkin bread. I transferred it over when we went gluten free and everyone loves it and nobody knows its gluten free!
Smores cookies! As a college girl that loves to bake, it’s always a compliment when my friends tell me that these cookies taste “just like normal” to them.
believe it or not, my favorite thing I have had gluten free was plain and simple grilled cheese. I used Rudi’s multigrain with American cheese and it was pure heaven. Simple.
I just started trying to eat more gluten free foods, and haven’t cooked anything much. However, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your bread. It makes wonderful French Toast.
Apple Lemon cake with lemon streusel on top…gluten free and so delicious!
Before learning I had a severe gluten intolerance one of my favorite relaxing things to do was make a pot of tea and small finger sandwiches. I use Rudi’s original bread and make the same little sandwiches using ham and cheese, or I make my own egg salad, or I peanut butter and jam! Simple but wonderfully satisfying and relaxing.
Pancakes
I dont cook but my wife does and the best I’m most glad for are her gluten free chocolate chip cookies.
Gluten Free Waffles were a success!
I just tried a new Gluten Free Stew recipe and everyone raved about it.
I know it’s not much of a stretch, but I love Rudi’s Gluten Free Cinnamon Raisin bread as Sweet French Toast. It’s a favorite, morning and night.
I make gluten-free pancakes and waffles…yummy!
The one I love the most (so far) is gluten-free doughnut muffins. They are dipped in butter and then rolled in Splenda. OMG.
I’ve had a lot of luck with quinoa, which is naturally gluten free.

I am so thankfull to have Rudi’s gluten free products. Having a family that has to be gluten free for health reason, not by choice, makes life little more challenging . Having Rudi’s makes life much easier!!!
Merry Christmas!
My most successful gf recipe is simply a peanut butter cookie made with peanut butter, sugar, egg, and baking powder. Simple yet delicious! And it makes you feel like you’re getting away with something
I am new to gluten free, but so far I have had a lot of luck with a lemon cake recipe I got from whole foods.

My most successful gluten-free recipe would be my gluten free mac and cheese corn bake casserole!

I love Rudi’s multigrain bread! Talking about all this bread make me wanna leave the office and go make a sandwich.
Apple crisp!
