This week and next, many of us will have parties we're supposed to attend -- office Christmas parties, holiday parties held by organizations to which we belong, and neighborhood parties.
I confess, I'm not wild about these gatherings ... and I haven't been since I went gluten-free. It's no fun to watch everyone else chowing down on holiday cookies, brownies and pastries when you can't even trust the punch.
My guess is, many of you are struggling with the same issues. That's why I've pulled together a gluten-free holiday party survival guide that explains how you can cope with these obligatory holiday parties when you're gluten-free. The solutions aren't perfect, of course, but you might find an option you like. And if you really want to skip the party, it's okay -- they'll get over it.
