Why Go Gluten-Free for Your Super Bowl Party?
Going gluten-free doesn't mean missing out on the fun. In fact, many traditional Super Bowl foods are naturally gluten-free or easily adapted. Plus, focusing on gluten-free options often leads to healthier choices—like more veggies, proteins, and whole foods. Your guests will thank you, and those with celiac disease or sensitivities will feel included.
Pro tip: Always check labels for cross-contamination, and use certified gluten-free ingredients where needed. Now, onto the recipes!
