This mimosa recipe is naturally gluten-free. Though I am allergic to oranges, my guests enjoy mimosa for Christmas breakfast. One of my guests mentioned that the best mimosa she ever had was at a resort. I asked it was a creamy mimosa, and sure enough it was. So, I added a a splash of whipping cream to the blend and everyone loved it. What a perfect addition to any mimosa recipe! It created a frothy, creamy head. That particular guest ended up adding a bit of sugar to her glass, though. Later, I found a recipe online that did include sugar. Below is the recipe I made. Want to really wow your guests?

I used my gluten-free shortbread cookie recipe for these gluten free Christmas cookies. I used a cookie form pan that I purchased at my local grocery store, Von’s. They are very simple to make and the icing contains almond extract versus vanilla extract which gives the cookie icing, also gluten-free, more of a whiter color and compliments the almond flour, as well. I chose not to use colored icing, as I was going for a classy look. I hope you enjoy this gluten free Christmas cookies recipe, as well as the holidays!

Recent time spent with my grandchildren got me to thinking of my childhood. I remember eating pink caramel popcorn. Remember that? All that sugar just seemed wonderful, and the artificial coloring made it very attractive! Fortunately, now, most people are gearing up towards healthier choices.

This is a great recipe to use up your left over popcorn, too! I am sure kids will enjoy this sweet treat! Continue reading “Gluten Free Agave Popcorn Balls”
