New Year’s Eve; isn’t it totally a night for classing things up? Champagne, parties with friends, fancy outfits, twinkling lights, and delectable food. If done right it really is the best way to give yourself a brief respite from the winter blues (even if you’re lucky enough to live someplace that doesn’t have winter). AND if you’ve had a hard year like I have this year you want it to be a perfect night to ring in a new year. 

However we all know that party food can be a bit dull for those of us who are gluten free, or have other food allergies or dietary restrictions. So why not steer away from requesting or bringing the usual gluten free dishes to your New Year’s Eve shindig and make one of the below 44 recipes shared by fantastic food allergen bloggers? All the recipes are gluten free, and I’ve also denoted whether the author identified if it’s free from other allergens. So get ready to kiss 2016 goodbye in style, I sure am:
