With baked goods and traditional dishes, the holidays can be tough when you are on a gluten free diet. Thanks to my partnership with Little Northern Bakehouse, I’m finding more ways to “Eat for Me” by making my favorite Italian Crouton Casserole recipe gluten free!
This time of year, I love to make non-traditional foods that still have a vibrant festive flair. Gluten Free Italian Crouton Casserole is chock full of red and green and a whole lot of delicious good-for-you ingredients and flavor.
It’s an easy to make, one dish recipe that serves as both side and vegetable accompaniment to any Italian-inspired dinner. Gluten Free Italian Crouton Casserole also make a great lunch dish, too. Or you can pair it with your favorite soup for a hearty meal.
Little Northern Bakehouse breads help me to make many of my favorite dishes and sandwiches into gluten free options. What I love the most about this bread is I don’t have to trade texture or taste to enjoy gluten free.
The breads are non-GMO, plant-based, certified Gyphosate Residue Free and they are absolutely delicious! Sourced from gluten-free and whole-food ingredients, you’ll find great texture chock full of grains and goodness.
Found in the freezer section of your local grocer or natural foods retailer, the Little Northern Bakehouse’s product line-up includes:

What I love about adding Little Northern Bakehouse Seed & Grain Loaf to my Gluten Free Italian Crouton Casserole is that it adds an amazing earthy depth and texture to this aromatic dish. This bread is also Vegaan and chock full of nutrients your body craves.
I hope you enjoy this dish as much as I do and carve out a little “me time” to enjoy your holiday favorites!
