Tips for cooking gluten-free side dishes

• Fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, cheese, and eggs are naturally gluten-free, so use these as the basis to your side dishes.
• Quinoa, teff, amaranth, polenta, buckwheat, corn, millet, and tapioca are some of the naturally gluten-free grains which you can include in your GF diet. Make sure to check the food labels to make sure you are using uncontaminated versions (some gluten-free ingredients are processed in facilities that also process regular grain).
