Believe it or not, the holidays are right around the corner! It’s amazing how they sneak up on us every year. Maybe that’s just me, but I feel like I’ve been splashed in the face with cold water every year when the holiday decorations go up in the stores and mall. So now is the time to start planning for your holiday parties with healthy appetizers. Most of these gluten free appetizers are healthy recipes, but in the name of the man in the red suit, some splurging is okay this time of year!
