About This Gluten-Free Recipe Roundup

Everyone loves watching the Superbowl when food is involved! Whether you're in it to cheer for your team, to watch the funny commercials, or to check out whoever is performing at half time, it's a great opportunity to spend time with family or friends and enjoy some yummy dishes.

Inside this gluten-free game day recipe roundup, there are appetizers, main courses, sides, snacks, dips, and sweets - all gluten-free and scrumptious.

And that's why whether you're hosting a superbowl party, attending one, or just making some snacks to watch the game at home, you'll have something delicious and safe to eat!

Tips For Attending A Superbowl Party With Celiac Disease

superbowl hot spots for celiacs

If you're hosting a Superbowl party, you'll have a lot more control over the food and whether or not it's gluten-free.

But if you are planning to attend a superbowl party with celiac disease, it can get a bit tricky.

So here are some tips to help you enjoy yourself, feel included, and avoid getting accidentally glutened:

  • Speak to your host so you can chat about the menu beforehand. The more you know, the less anxious you'll feel because you can anticipate what to expect.
  • If you're bringing a dish to share, set some aside for you in a separate container, away from other people's forks, spoons, or fingers. And then you know you have something safe!
  • Cross-contact can be prominent in a Superbowl party or game day celebration, especially with finger food, dips, and chips. Ask the host to set some food aside for you, or see if you can be served first.

If you find going to parties & events scary, and aren't sure what to say when eating around other people, the Celiac's Guide to Social Events walks you through saying YES to these invitations with pre-written scripts! Learn more here.

And now, let's get to the recipes!

For each of these recipes, you can click on the photo of the recipe or the red box that says "Get the recipe" to be taken directly to the recipe page.
