Gluten Free Easter Brunch!

Welcome to my Gluten Free Easter Brunch Post!

The Saturday Scoop will be back next week! It will be the 17th week of The Saturday Scoop!

I have mentioned before I have celiac’s disease so I have to eat gluten free. Yes sometimes it can be challenging, but if I don’t I get really sick, hospital sick! That’s no fun, so gluten free it is!

Food allergies and intolerance to foods should be taken very serious.

I feel fortunate there are now so many great gluten free items to choose from! Years ago when I was first diagnosed choices were very limited!

When I host a holiday, dinner, or event I always ask my guest before the event if they have any dietary restrictions, allergies, or intolerances to foods.

When hosting I really want my guest to be able to enjoy what I serve. I also want them to leave feeling full and satisfied, Lol! I think it so sad if you go somewhere for dinner and there isn’t anything for you to eat! This has happen to me!

So let’s begin talking about my Gluten Free Easter Brunch!

Have I said how much I enjoy the Easter holiday season! I do enjoy the other holidays but Easter has so much less stress than the other holidays! I feel like I can really just focus on the reason we celebrate! Of course food plays a big part of all holidays, well it does in my home, Lol!

My menu will consist of some family traditions. I think our family makes the best ham! It is sweet, so if you don’t like a sweet ham this may not be the ham for you! Although, my brother in law who doesn’t like sweets said it’s a really good ham! Our ham is so simply put together! Spiral Ham is the ham we choose.

Not all brands are gluten free so make sure to read the ingredients. The ham is brushed with a little maple syrup. We add a mixture of, half a can of vernors or sprite, half can of crushed pineapple’s, 3 tablespoon of brown sugar, 3 tablespoon of cherry juice. These items are all mixed together poured over the ham, add a few cloves in between the spiral ham. I’ll also add to our Easter brunch some family favorites, and a few new items. Item’s that I can prepare ahead too.!

Getting ready for the Brunch

Make a list of everything you need to purchase, groceries, including ingredients, flowers, napkins, etc. I try to shop the week before the brunch for most items, except for the fresh fruits and vegetables, I’ll do this a day or two before .

Setting up a Brunch

When setting up for a Brunch I usually have it buffet style, it’s what I’ll follow with this year. It takes the pressure off of me to make sure everyone has what they want. I think guest like it as well, this way they can serve themselves. I’ll add multi-tiered platters to provide vertical space for more food, and it also adds visual interest to the buffet. I like to add pretty dishes and drink dispensers as well.

Items I’ll use to set up the buffet.

A pretty table cloth. One thing I’ll do is place trivets where i’ll put the casserole dishes, so I’m not scrambling at the last minute. Also have your serving spoons out so you have it all ready! Do as much of the preparation as possible the night before. I’ll add a floral center piece and of course candles, the faux one’s I share with you all the time! You don’t want to have scented candles, it mixes with the smell of the food. Set out the plates, coffee mugs, glassware, napkins, and flatware. If you want to do a little extra you could add the ingredients used in each dish and place a place card in front of it’s dish. If you have room, separate the food from the drink station so your guests won’t bump into each other.

How to be a good hostess

One of the best ways to be a good hostess is to relax and enjoy! I know it’s not always easy, but by doing these things early you can eliminate some of the stress! Honestly I like to set my table a few days ahead as well. So it’s not the last thing to do, and it really does help so much! And… you can spend a little extra time making your table look pretty!

Just a little tip!

Oh… don’t forget to put fresh hand wipes in the bathroom that guests will be using. Make sure there is plenty of soap in the dispenser and toilet paper! It’s so awkward for a guest to run out of these items.

Best Time for a Brunch

A Brunch is typically served between 11:00 am and 4:00 pm but I think it’s the person that’s hosting the Brunch’s choice! I’ve been to many of brunch that have started at 10:00 am. For my Brunch we are starting at noon, so this will be my best time for a brunch!

Gluten Free Foods

When you have to eat gluten free foods or are avoiding certain ingredients you read packaging. If you need to, you should know the terms and names of ingredients that mean the same as the ingredient you are avoiding… And meat can have added gluten as it helps plump the meat… such as frozen chicken. Many times the package that comes with the spiral hams contain wheat ingredients. So you really want to be careful. When in doubt contact the manufacture of the item. I have found them to be so helpful, no one would want someone to become ill.
